4 Cost-Cutting Exercises For Your Accounting Firm
2

• When setting up a new business, it can feel like
  one expense after another, but even for
  well-established businesses, there are times when
  money is tight, and there simply isnt enough to
  go around.
• When trying to tackle cash flow concerns,
  however, it can be all too easy to focus solely
  on generating more revenue, instead of
  scrutinizing your expenses and trying to
  determine whether there are any areas in which
  you might be able to save money.
• Along with using outsourced tax preparation
  services to help avoid the cost of hiring
  in-house bookkeepers and additional accountants,
  you can try the following 4 cost-cutting
  exercises

• 1. Look at your monthly charges
• From cell phone bills and unused software, to
  office supplies, monthly subscriptions for web
  services or apps you dont use, and interest
  charges or late fees, if there are any seemingly
  small ways to make some cuts, these could add up
  to big savings for your company. Sometimes, even
  the most insignificant of expenditures can amount
  to a significant amount over time, making it
  essential to scrutinize all of your smaller
  expenses, and limit these as much as possible.

• 2. Allow employees to work remotely
• If some (or all) of your employees work at their
  desks for most of the day, it might be worth
  asking yourself whether they could fulfil their
  roles just as well from home. Remote working
  eliminates a lot of overheads, from office rental
  and air conditioning, to employee parking, and
  with video conferencing a common occurrence for
  many businesses nowadays, you could still stay
  connected with your team. And, should you need
  to, you could organize an in-person meeting by
  hiring a conference room for an hour or two, to
  keep morale high.

• 3. Buy used items
• A computer thats a couple of years old with a
  careful previous owner, will work just as well as
  a brand new one that costs twice the price. You
  can also apply the same principle to other office
  equipment, furniture, company vehicles, and
  technology. So dont be afraid to buy items that
  have already been used, and when you do, you
  could make some significant savings.

• 4. Outsource
• There are qualified professionals sitting around
  waiting to help business owners in all manner of
  industries, and within the world of accounting,
  its no different. Whether you need help with
  bookkeeping, payroll, or accounting, you can bet
  your bottom dollar that theres an experienced
  company waiting for you to outsource your
  requirements to them, and whats even better, is
  that theyre way more cost effective than
  in-house hires, and a whole lot more convenient.

• Take a long, hard look at some of the daily tasks
  you and your team carry out, and ask yourself
  whether you might be better off using tax
  preparation outsourcing services, (one example
  among many of the ways) to save time, energy, and
  money.
• So, while generating more revenue is of course
  important for a business, its always worth
  looking at just how much money its costing to
  run the company, to see whether any of those
  costs can be reduced, or even eliminated.
