🎉 Entrepreneurial Stories That Will Leave You Inspired! 🚀

What a privilege to be a part of the Xero Beautiful Business Fund awards in Cape Town, where the room was absolutely buzzing with stories of resilience, innovation, and passion. 🌟

First up, we heard from Gugulethu Mahlangu, who accidentally turned a passion for aquaponics into a thriving business during Covid—talk about turning lemons into lemonade! 🍋🌱

Then, ABEOD shared their commitment to upskilling the next generation of drone pilots—because why not prepare for a future that’s flying high? 🚁📈

But hold on, Atomedge absolutely blew my mind. In just 4 years, they crammed a 12-year project into one epic journey—becoming the market leader in 3D anatomy models. Talk about a leap of faith! 🧠✨

And let’s not forget the heartwarming tale of The Underdog Project, where underprivileged youth and shelter dogs come together to create a wave of positivity and community transformation. 🐕🤝💫 It was hands-down the most uplifting moment of the day!

Big shoutout to Xero for shining a spotlight on these incredible entrepreneurs and small business owners. Your support is supercharging their success and inspiring the rest of us to dream big! 🌍💡

Music hath charms to sooth the savage beast - William Congreve

Friday mornings working from home is an absolute highlight.

I sit in my office, grinding away to help clients run their businesses, while my wife and her friend sits and play piano for about 3 hours, learning new pieces, laughing, relaxing, playing duets and just creating the best background sounds there is.

Guys, please take note of this. Absolutely not great timing, but hopefully this should stop the site from crashing end Feb with all the submissions.

In our endeavour to make it easy for taxpayers and traders to fulfil their obligations whilst ensuring that our digital platforms are safe and secure, we conduct regular maintenance and enhancements to improve the experience. Considering this, we have a planned maintenance period on Friday, 10 Febru...

Be in control. Every day.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results - Anonymous (not Albert Einstein though).

If your accounting system has not worked for you in the past, it is unlikely it will work in the future. So why not make change with the new year?

In this day and age you cannot wait for 2 weeks after month end to know what is going on in your business. You need to know in real time what the health of your business looks like.

A number of accounting systems out there offer you this, we just prefer Xero above the rest after setting this up for more than 100 clients across all industries. With Xero you can:
- see your daily bank balances without logging into your bank
- Be on top of not only who you owe money to, but also who owes you money
- Have one central point of reference where you not only see figures, but also scanned in copies of all bills (no more scratching in files for that faded invoice)
- Do cash flow planning
- As a by-product work on that business continuity plan as all your accounting is now cloud based

Make this year your best one ever, be in control of your finances!

Contact us to assist you in implementing Xero Accounting for your business. We can also assist in training, as well as fulfilling an outsourced accounting function.

You don’t know what you don’t know.

I recently had a chat with a friend (not a client…yet) who packed off about how it now came to light that his previous accountants neglected to submit certain returns, and how he came to realise that despite outsourcing certain compliance and management functions that, as director of his companies, the buck still stops with him regardless.

This individual, like so many out there, is good in what he does, but have not undergone training on how to run your own business. How must he know what the questions are to ask? How must he know what deadlines there are?

This is the case with so many business owners out there. So let us try and just get a checklist in place for February that you at least know what to look out for. This list is by no means comprehensive, but should help you to start conversations.

- You need to pay your employees tax by 7 Feb.
- Last chance to do your retirement annuity top up to gain the maximum tax benefit. This usually needs to be done by mid Feb.
- if you’re doing the 45th like myself and a few clients, TRAIN!!!
- Your VAT returns for the Dec/Jan period needs to be submitted and paid by 28 Feb.
- Your company as well as your own final provisional tax return and payment needs to be submitted by 28 Feb. If you are running software like Xero, it makes this a relative easy process.
- Check your actual business travel for the 12 months and make sure that you claim the correct travel allowance.
- If you have not yet finalised your Feb 2022 annual financial statements, these need to be submitted to SARS by 28 Feb.
- Check your vehicles odometer, and make notes of your asset and liability values in order to get an annual balance sheet going for yourself as at 28 Feb.

We’ll be explaining some of these items more in details in the next few weeks, so follow us!!!
