The roles of an accountant
at different stages of your business
Hong Kong accountants play different roles at various stages of a business. They contribute to a business’s growth. Accounting needs change as a business grows. No matter what stage your business is in, we’ve got you covered. Learn more below.
Writing a business Plan
Accountants help you ensure that forecasts are realistic and align with ongoing market conditions. An accountant chalks down the costs of starting and running the business and ensures the process is in compliance with the law.
Applying for a business loan or overdraft
Accountants spot cash flow issues and offer advisory on financing options such as business loans or overdraft. The accountant reviews your financial status, suggests the appropriate business loan for attaining the needed funds, and advises on taking an overdraft when required.
Buying a business
When thinking about buying another business, the accountant helps by conducting a performance evaluation of your assets, liabilities, profitability, and cash flow.
Taking on a franchise
Starting a business using the franchise model requires a sizable investment, followed by other expenses. Franchising involves several procedures, and employing a tax accountant can strengthen your position. Also, the accountant uses his experience, judgement, and industry knowledge to help curb business risks.
Legal structure of the company formation
An accountant can be most helpful in setting up the legal structure for your business. He offers guidance on essential aspects such as: preparing agreements for shareholders, share capital, types of shares and dividend policies, tackling tax-related obligations, and dealing with appropriate authorities.
Dealing with government paperwork
Businesses have lots of paperwork for the government, including those for the CR or Company Registry and the IRD or the Inland Revenue Department. Hiring accountants makes paperwork management easier. The accountant also makes sure the amount of tax payable is accurate and helps apply for a tax refund.
Control of income and expenses
Accountants help you attain total control of income and expenses, including allowances and government incentives. The accountant also makes sure your business cash flow is steady and safeguarded from any risks.
Audit of your company
The company Registry's current audit threshold stands at $100 million in total annual revenue and $100 million in aggregated assets. Companies with a lesser net worth and turnover are exempt from audit. An accountant helps by offering unbiased advice and ensuring that the financials adhere to the law and regulations.
Selling a business
When you decide to sell your business, the tax accountant helps by drawing a detailed exit plan, including the deal structure, associated taxes, and a financial plan for the business sale. The accountant helps you attain the three-year company accounts’ data for gauging your valuation.
