Accountancy

Yes I'll prepare your annual financial statements for your entities.  

I'll also provide detailed information regarding opportunities and risks that need to be considered going forward. This work is bread and butter for most, but I add on information so that you understand what the financials mean and where you are heading.

Virtual CFO

This is the essence of Minimus Consulting.

On hand for any questions, able to report to stakeholders on defined KPI's. Weekly, monthly reporting to management, I am able to provide, explain and assist in the decision making process throughout the business life cycle.‍

Business Advisory

How do you know where you are going without a plan?  

We will discuss your future plan. Is it to bring in a partner, to expand to new markets, sell at a predetermined time in the future or do you intend to hand your business on to the next generation. A plan is essential for everyone, both in business and in life. To know why you are in business, why you get out of bed in the morning. Together we'll discuss your plans for the future, where you are at now, and how we are going to get there.

Budgeting and Cash Flow

Cash flow is king. Without it businesses fail.  

The ever increasing monthly subscriptions can be a killer for small businesses. Ensure that you prioritise your profits, your remuneration, and then work out your available spend. Lets turn the profit and loss statement upside down and ensure you extract profit first, and budget your business operations from there. ‍

Bookkeeping and GST Reporting

Yes bookkeeping is boring and you definitely do not have the time to worry about it.

 I'll prepare what is necessary and automate this boring process as much as possible, because I don't wish to be performing repetitive tasks either! Although I specialise in small business taxation, I have a thorough knowledge on the complexities of the GST system; imports, exports, margin schemes to name a few. The easy bit is lodging the BAS returns.‍

Taxation

I find tax fascinating, please don't hold it against me! 

The tax world is an ever evolving world that ebbs and flows with the government. But you do not need to worry about the changes, I'll advise you what affects your business, what opportunities there are. Towards the end of every tax year I'll assess how your tax liabilities are tracking and we can put together a strategy that is most effective for your current year's circumstances.

I work hand-in-hand with my clients

"I have had the pleasure of working with Nicole David more than 10 years. She handles 5 of my companies plus my personal accounting. Her advice is very high quality. Her dedication to going above and beyond is second to none. She truly treats your business as if it were hers. I could not recommend Nicole highly enough. If you want intelligence, knowledge, strategy and empathy she is the accountant you need."

Mike

CEO of Facelove

"As a long time business owner, I've had many years of frustration with taxation accounting and book keeping. Since having switched to Minimus Consulting, I've been happily surprised to see someone who cares, is thorough and has resolved numerous errors from the past and corrected the tax returns. Additionally, we have switched to Xero which has resulted in automation of hours of work previously done each month. All up our annual bookkeeping and accounting bill will be half the previous total and we're getting a proactive, personalised service and much better results."

Frequently asked questions regarding my work and services

What software are you experienced with?

I am a Xero Advisor though I am also familiar with MYOB. My firm is cloud based and I call, Zoom, WhatsApp clients on a regular basis.

I have a SMSF. Do you provide SMSF services?

I work closely with my colleague Lisa at Top Super Accounting. In effect we are a combined firm offering both business and superannuation services.

What sets you apart from other accountants?

Being a sole trader I know everything about my clients business, their future plans and how they are feeling. There is no delegation to overseas bookkeepers nor to under graduates. All work performed is of the utmost quality with an astute attention to detail. I constantly think of all of my clients when attending training and reading. I'm always available directly on the phone when my clients need me.

My time is limited as I own a business. What do you expect from me in relation to client meetings?

I understand that you need flexibility in meeting with me. That is why I visit clients' premises (If in Melbourne). Tax planning and end of year discussions are predominately on-line at a time convenient for yourself. My services and times are flexible, I am definitely not a 9 - 5pm accounting firm.

What are your fees and how do you charge?

I charge monthly for all time incurred during a taxation year. This is determined on a client by client basis taking into account the services required. An engagement is agreed upon with an estimate which can be amended annually by both parties. I am here to help grow your business, not to charge exorbitant fees.
