Let’s be honest. It hasn’t been a fun 4 weeks. COVID-19 lockdown restrictions and looting has put a lot of businesses into difficult trading situations while consumers tighten their belts in shock and worry. But there are, always, things to be done in business and South Africans are famous for their tenacity and can-do spirit. So, with this in mind, the Venaccuracc team have put together 5 accounting survival tips for businesses to use until things start to turn again for the positive – and being the eternal optimists we are, we believe they will.
Critical to managing your business in difficult times is a crystal-clear vision of exactly what is going on with your money. How much money is tied up in assets, how much money is due to you by customers, how much money you owe to suppliers. All of these aspects can make or break a business in normal operating circumstances, but when times are tough, it is even more important.
The Venaccuracc team are able to help you make sense of accounting chaos by quickly and efficiently sorting through your books to give you the confidence to make bold financial decisions that could save your business.
