You have an advisory contract, yet you don't look at the numbers for a year?
Just because you have signed an advisory contract with a tax accountant does not necessarily mean that if you send your documents every month, they will be entered into accounting software and the figures reported to you each time.
Even with an advisory contract,
there are quite a few tax accounting firms that will "enter a full year's worth of data all at once at the time of closing."
Certainly, if you only think about tax filing, you can file by entering a year's worth of data all at once.
However, when you have an advisory contract, is that really okay?
🌿Self-Introduction🌿
Atsuko Honma
・Sole practitioner tax accountant in Nerima Ward, Tokyo (registered in 2008)
・Supports clients nationwide online
・Changed jobs at accounting firms 5 times before becoming independent in 2017
・Motto: "Work isn't everything in life; play is also important"
・Supports sole proprietors and small businesses, and handles inheritance tax filings
・Also accepts one-time filings and consultations without an advisory contract.
For business owners, accounting is not just for "calculating taxes."
How much profit are you making right now?
Are expenses higher than you thought?
Is your cash flow okay?
These things are only meaningful if you look at the numbers in a timely manner.
If you enter a year's worth of data at the time of closing and
realize for the first time that there is a problem,
it is too late to correct the course by then.
That is why I check the numbers every month and report the details to you.
For those who do their own data entry,
I recommend entering the data every month as much as possible.
If you don't know how to enter the data, I will check the accounting software with you.
A tax accountant's job is not just to prepare tax returns.
Looking at the numbers to ensure that clients can continue their business with peace of mind.
That is the most important role of a tax accountant as I see it.
I believe that is what an advisory contract is for.
