Business Buddy Ensure Quick Turnaround For Tax Return Time
It’s that time of year! All over New Zealand self-employed contractors and small to medium sized companies are rushing to compile their tax returns. At Business Buddy they have been working on planning all annual accounts work to assist them to effectively manage the workflow and ensure a quicker turnaround time for their clients. They are in the process of sending out their 2013 Annual Accounts Planning and Estimated fee letters to all clients. They will send out an estimated fee letter, stating the estimated fee and the aspects of the work to be completed. If they start a job and find there is more to it than anticipated, they will contact the client with a revised estimate before continuing.
A Business Buddy Xero Accountant provides much more for the same cost as do traditional end-of-year accounting services. At Business Buddy they have a fixed monthly price which makes budgeting much easier, such as their Business Buddy Starter from as little as $175 per month, recommended for small businesses needing to stay on top of their finances.
