Tired of Bookkeeping Frustration?
How You Can Keep Excellent Records That Slash Accounting Costs, Save Up to 75% of Your Time Spent on Bookkeeping AND Protect Yourself From Customs & Revenue?
... and why some accountants and big software companies do NOT want you to have this software!
From: Wayne Burgan, CPA
Dear Small Business Owners:
Are you or your partner self employed or own a small business yet spending too much effort or time to keep good financial records?
But in spite of this, it seems like no matter how much you try to improve, your accountant’s bill seems way too expensive? And even then you are uncertain as to what will happen if you get a tax audit?
Well read on because you are about to discover…
- The ONE thing that costs MOST small business owners big time with their accountant
- What many accountants won’t tell you
- How to improve your bookkeeping records without wasting much time and money
- How to protect yourself from Inland Revenue and HMCR
But why should you listen to me?
Well let me introduce myself. My name is Wayne Burgan and I am a CPA. And I have had experience on both sides of the fence.
You see I used to be a Tax Investigator with the Australian Taxation Office where I saw first hand how many hard working, honest small business owners unintentionally left themselves at great risk when they got a tax audit.
Then after 10 years with the Tax Office, I left and started a CPA practice that focused on helping small business owners.
It didn’t take long to discover what the biggest problem was for small business owners in working with their accountants, how they cost themselves lots of unnecessary money, and were still at risk if they got a tax audit.
So I did something about it and have since helped over 123,000 small business owners in Australia alone as well as tens of thousands in the UK and North America.
And having worked as both a Tax Auditor and the owner of a CPA practice, I am in the unique position to spill the beans on how to make sure you are not paying your accountant any more than you have to, and how to protect yourself from the ATO.
What's the one thing that costs MOST small business owners huge dollars with their accountant?
Well the answer is not sexy. And it's not an exciting revelation. In fact, it's pretty boring. But... it is the truth.
The one thing that costs MOST small business owners huge dollars with their accountant is... the quality of their bookkeeping!
Now I told you it wasn't exciting. In fact, the most exciting thing about 'bookkeeping' is that it's the only word in the English language that has three 'double' letters after each other.
But let’s face it, keeping excellent books is essential but doing the bookkeeping isn’t easy.
Especially if you’ve never been trained in accounting. After all, students take three or four years to do an accountancy degree at university.
Now an accountancy degree covers more than you need to know to do the books for your business but think about this…
The big software companies make their money from the fees that people just like you paying them for training!
In fact a whole new industry has sprung up to train people how to use their accounting software.
Why is this?
The reason is that most small business accounting software programs try and turn you into a ‘do it yourself’ accountant. And to do that you not only have to understand how to use the software, you also have to understand how to do accounting.
And if you don't, more often than not this is costing you big bucks with your accountant.
Accountant Timothy Lee says: “The greeting comment ‘Oh! It's easy this year - it's all here on disk’ has become the most terrifying words a client can utter to me now.”
And the Sydney Sunday Telegraph said this: “Accountants claim 8 out of every 10 small businesses are making horrendous mistakes using the more complex double entry bookkeeping software now on the market.”
If you’ve just said to yourself “what’s double entry?” and you’re using an accounting package you bought from a software shop, you could well be one of the eighty percent.
And the problem is that some accountants won’t tell their clients that instead of reducing the work the accountant has to do, the quality of their bookkeeping/accounting records actually cause them more work.
(Not all mind you, as you will read below and elsewhere on our site. In fact, Cashflow Manager already has more than 11,000 users in the UK and 99% of these small business owners have obtained it through their accountants.)
But why won’t some accountants tell their small business clients when your accounting records are unsatisfactory?
Well the first reason is that accountants charge for their time. So some accountants just charge you for the extra time it takes – which can often be hours of time and hundreds of dollars.
Other accountants do what’s called a ‘write-off’ in the accounting profession, which means they don’t actually charge you for all the extra time it takes. Why? Well sometimes they want to avoid an argument over the amount of the fees. Or they might think you can’t afford to pay that amount. But whatever the reason, they work longer hours that they don’t charge for.
And that means they don’t have the extra time to be able to actually advise you on running a better business. And you might also have to wait until other clients' work is done first. So you are lower down on their priority.
If you want to find out the truth about the quality of your bookkeeping and how much its costing you, pick up the phone right now, ring your accountant and ask him or her to rate the quality of the records you give them on a scale of 1 to 10!
And ask them to tell you the truth!!!
But the next question is...
The answer is a simple accounting solution that fits your business and is easy to understand!
After working as a Tax Auditor and seeing first hand the difficulties small business owners got themselves into when they had poor records, and then starting an accounting practice and consulting to people starting in business for the first time, I knew I had to find a way to make it easy for them to keep excellent records without having to spend hours out of the business or away from family learning how to use the system.
So with the aim of developing the simplest small business accounting system on the planet, I designed ‘Cashflow Manager’ which has already sold over 370,000 systems around the world, mainly through those accountants who do want to help their clients keep better records.
Check out these comments received from accountants who purchase Cashflow Manager for their clients...

So that’s what accountants say, but what about the small business owners using the program?
Here are some comments from just a few small business owners:
 |
“I was hesitant when my accountant recommended Cashflow Manager as I didn't want to spend a long time learning a new program and changing my bookwork. But even in the first 2 weeks it saved me time (and money when I found a mistake in my old program.)”
Rhonda Polley, Body Piercing Pleasure

"Cashflow Manager is so simple to use and very easy to understand. It has cut my bookkeeping time by at least 75% and has made the End of Financial Year a piece of cake."
Jenny McIntosh, McIntosh Meats

So what is different about Cashflow Manager that makes it so good for small business?
Well the first thing is that Cashflow Manager uses a simple column or spreadsheet type layout to record your money in and money out (see above example).
Let’s say you make a payment to your accountant. You just record the details and the amount and enter it in the 'Total Bank Payments' column. The program automatically calculates the VAT for you and you put the balance in the ‘Accounting Fees’ column.
It’s as simple as that!
And the data doesn’t disappear into the black hole of the computer like other programs. It stays right there on your screen where you can easily find it. (This also makes it very easy for your accountant to check your records and slashes the time they have to spend.)
When money comes in, you record the details in the Receipts section. This is just like recording payments but you also record what you did with the money - banked it or not.
This makes it really easy to match the information you have recorded to the statements you receive from your bank. In fact you can even download your bank statements into the program to make reconciling to your bank statements even easier.
Here’s what Cashflow Manager includes:
Unique columns make it amazingly simple to accurately record your money in and money out without knowing anything about accounting.
Calculates VAT automatically and also produces a report that matches the Customs & Excise VAT Return to make it really easy to lodge your VAT.
Your information stays on the screen so you won’t get frustrated trying to find where you recorded something - and makes it really easy for your accountants too.
A simple step by step process to match (reconcile) your records to your bank statement and make sure you have recorded everything on your bank statement.
Downloads statements from most banks and saves you hours of time typing in transactions like bank charges or loan payments and reconciling your records.
The cashflow budget section allows you to easily prepare a budget and keep track of how you are doing each month compared to your budget.
Comprehensive reports give you and your accountants all the information to understand your business cash flow and lodge your taxes.
The current economic situation makes it vital that you keep excellent records that help you manage your business on a day to day basis. And Cashflow Manager is the perfect solution to make sure you understand your records.

Great question. Having excellent records is just the beginning. Ever wonder how Revenue & Customs ensures that you keep accurate records? Let me share with you the inside story. The Tax Authorities use very successful methods to track 'non compliance' behaviour based on a wide range of data sources.
It is easy for us to think that: 'I am just one out of a few million small business owners in the UK, so the chances of being audited by Revenue & Customs is minimal'. You will be surprised that as well as their regular audit program, the Revenue & Customs actually has access to the following list of sources:
- Disgruntled people who dob others in.
- Banks and other financial institutions.
- Other government agencies.
- Motor vehicle registers.
- Employers.
- Land titles offices and planning authorities.
- Property title transfers.
- Overseas governments.
- The Stock Exchange.
- Share registers and managed investment funds.
- Professional associations.
- Labour hire firms.
- Building contractors.
- Shopping centre lessors.
- The Yellow Pages.
- and more...
The fact is that making mistakes in your bookkeeping record can be costly.
And also be warned that the tax authorities tend to regularly audit what they consider to be high-risk industries (industries that are prone to the cash economy) like building and construction, the taxi industry, restaurants and cafes and some areas of retailing and transport.
To protect yourself from Inland Revenue and Customs & Excise, you can only do 2 things:
a) keep excellent and accurate records at all times
b) work with a qualified accountant who can look over your bookkeeping records to help ensure that you are tax compliant.
By law, when you run a business you have to keep your taxation records for at least 7 years! Bear in mind that the tax authorities will not take excuses like 'I've lost my records' or 'I didn't keep those papers' from any business owners who are audited.
With Cashflow Manager, you can easily learn how to keep true, accurate and valid records with the simplest bookkeeping software. Minimising your data entry errors can potentially save you thousands from tax audit fines in the long run!
Now you can build your business with greater peace in mind as Cashflow Manager can help you to reduce your tax compliance worry with proper records for 1 year, 3 years or even as long as 10 years or more. This means that the taxman is no longer your worst enemy, and while they may turn into your best friend, they are nothing to be afraid of!
