Give financial decisions reliable records and time.
Check whether your financial records are current and whether someone reviews them with you. Reconciled accounts, outstanding invoices, upcoming bills, and known obligations provide a useful starting point.
Ask your accountant which services are included in the engagement and when planning discussions should happen. Tax-return preparation, tax planning, and ongoing financial advice can involve different work. Confirm who handles each area and what information they need.
Questions worth reviewing.
Bookkeeping
Ask when accounts were last reconciled and which transactions or balances still need review.
Cash flow
Review upcoming collections, payroll, supplier bills, debt payments, and other known obligations.
Tax planning
Schedule questions about timing, entity structure, and owner compensation with a qualified tax adviser.
Financial oversight
Clarify who reviews the reports, investigates unusual changes, and explains decisions to the owner.
Request The Financial Leak Audit.
Your request goes to the Caboodle team. Please leave out private financial or customer records.
