What We Do?

Finances are the backbone of every enterprise. A company may not be in the money if it is either over-capitalized or under-capitalized. It may have poor Cash flows. As a result, the company will have to pump in more money to take care of its Working capital and Capital employed. The return on capital may deteriorate on one side and the non-performing assets increase on the other side.

Accounts gives information on the performance of the business by reporting the statement of financial performance (Profit & Loss account) and statement of financial position (Balance sheet). There are many other reporting tools offered by business accounting software's which gives transparency on the performance of the business. Monthly management accounts, compared with last year numbers, the Budget numbers, industry comparisons, rolling forecasts etc. are some of measure which if developed and reported in time can save the businesses. Many of our clients including other Chartered accountants in Auckland have benefitted from the business accounting software's.

Costings are most neglected sub area of accounting which is generally given least importance in particular by the small and medium businesses. The main difference between Costing and Accounting is that Costing is done before the product is sold and Accounting is done after the product is sold. There is no point analysing the gross Margin or Contribution once the product is sold rather the systematic approach would be to do the costing first and then price the product accordingly. Capacity utilization technique helps the businesses to allocate or apportion their fixed costs on the product properly to keep the prices competitive. If the product is priced appropriately, it will have the anticipated demand and the business would be able to sell the budgeted quantity at the budgeted price. The more a business produce, the less would be the cost per unit to produce. Reporting techniques on products, territories, product categories, sales persons, gross margin by product etc help the management to get transparency on their products which in turn can help them to make more informed decisions. The techniques like marginal costing, standard costing, process costing and job order or batch costing are there to help the businesses run profitably.

Tax commensurate with the size and profit of the business is another dream of every business enterprise. If the business has complete visibility on the taxes which forms part of their cost and which do not form part of their cost, it will help them to build the cost component in pricing the product. Statutory compliance by filing the Returns in time, paying taxes in time is another area by which an accounting professional can help the businesses. We at MACRO, work as business partners to achieve the vision of every enterprise we get associated with.
