For example, if your business uses a fiscal year-end that matches the calendar year-end, then your fiscal year-end is December the 31st.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s often around this time of year when limited companies and sole traders alike will be ending their fiscal year. It can be a busy period with a lot to do. That\u2019s why it helps to get prepared and organised. It\u2019s important to get right because every UK business has to submit a year-end account to ensure that all accounts are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up to date<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compliant with statutory regulations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only that, but the end of the financial year is also one of the best times to take stock of your cash flow and financial management. It allows you to tidy up your accounting systems and the accounting processes you&#8217;ve been using. So if you&#8217;re coming to the end of your financial year, here\u2019s how to organise your year-end accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A basic annual accounts template<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before midnight on your year-end date, everything relating to your accounts and financial management needs to be tidied up and organised. The goal is to have everything as up to date as possible so that you can launch into the new accounting year 100% ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a basic annual accounts template that you can tick off as you complete each section.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 1: Be ready<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting ready for your year-end accounts in advance is one of the best ways to ensure that your business has the resources and the strategies in place that will position you well for the year ahead. You should start preparing for this at least a month before the year ends. There\u2019s a lot that you can be doing in that month, but the priorities are going to be:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Letting your team know that expenditure has to be kept to a minimum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chasing up any outstanding invoices, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/what-are-debtors-statements-and-why-are-they-important\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">debtor statements<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and purchase orders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensuring that all paid invoices have been added to your accounting system<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completing these basic first actions will make that final month of the year a lot more straightforward. Keeping the month\u2019s expenses to a minimum is extremely important and very useful as it means that you won\u2019t end up chasing your tail as your year-end deadline approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 2: Updating your accounts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every single figure in your accounts needs to be correct. That means that they should a) add up on your end and b) tally up with all of your financial records, including any invoices, bills, and your business bank statements. Make sure that all essential details are added to your accounts, including invoice numbers and total payments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 3: Fixing errors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If any discrepancies mean your books aren\u2019t balancing; you\u2019re likely missing some form of documentation. You need to rectify those errors as quickly as possible. Get in touch with your clients and ask them to search for any invoices or other documents that may not have been shared with you. This is significantly easier if you&#8217;re sharing the same <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/5-reasons-your-business-should-be-using-cloud-software\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud-based accounting software<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The intention is to remove as many roadblocks to your year-end accounts as possible. Spotting those roadblocks before your deadline approaches gives you some breathing room. That can prevent a mad rush at the end of the fiscal year and make balancing your annual accounts a much more streamlined process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 4: Employee data<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest tasks for getting your year-end accounts ready is to check that all of the data relating to your employees is up to date. If HMRC decides to carry out an audit on your business, one of the first things they will look at is your payroll and your expenses. National Insurance payments and taxes are almost always going to be something they&#8217;re extremely interested in!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there are <a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/common-mistakes-made-when-invoicing\/\">mistakes with your payroll<\/a>, it\u2019s not the employee who will be liable for them. It\u2019s the employer who will face the wrath of HMRC. It\u2019s not just about the taxes either. Auditors will want to know that all employees submit expenses and provide the relevant receipts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 5: Chart of accounts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your chart of accounts is part of your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/what-is-a-nominal-ledger\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nominal ledger<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and it\u2019s directly linked to your profit and loss report. These are all components of your overall balance sheet. Your chart of accounts will need to be as accurate as possible, so check that it&#8217;s up to date and currently correct. If there are any errors, you will have to chase them up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 6: Analyse financial statements<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where a checklist for organising your annual accounts gets a little more complicated (which is why you should start getting organised at least a month before the end of the year). Your financial statements are the key to a better business because they will let you see exactly how well your business is doing financially.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only do they act as a snapshot of where your finances are right now, but they are also crucial when it comes to financial forecasting and making <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/preparing-your-business-for-new-financial-year\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plans for next year\u2019s business growth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You likely have a variety of different financial statements available, especially if you&#8217;re using high-quality accounting software. However, the three most important at this stage are the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Profit &amp; Loss statement<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes referred to as an income statement, your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/how-to-make-sense-of-your-profit-and-loss-account\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Profit &amp; Loss (P&amp;L) statement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will summarise all your expenses and business revenue. Essentially, it will be a list that breaks down your cash flow, with a formal statement that shows the money you have lost and gained in any given year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are lots of important elements to a P&amp;L statement. Those elements will include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revenue of the business<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expenses paid out for tax<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costs relating to general operations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost of goods sold<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asset depreciation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve all heard of the phrase \u201cthe bottom line\u201d, and you\u2019ll be able to see your business&#8217;s bottom line by checking the difference between the total money that your business made and the money it has spent. Always check your P&amp;L statement against last year. This can give you immediate insights into your performance levels. If the indication is that you&#8217;re spending too much, that\u2019s a good sign that you need to implement some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/cost-reduction-strategies\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cost reduction strategies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cash flow statement<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cash flow statement lists all of the cash that goes into and comes out of your business. We\u2019re talking literal cash here, so it doesn&#8217;t include a record of any credit you have received or given. What you want to check is whether you have a positive cash flow or a negative cash flow. Positive means that you have more money coming in than expenses, and negative means the opposite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cash flow statement is so important because it can help you plan for next year. It will be a complete breakdown of your cash flow for the last 12 months, which means you can easily identify seasonal trends. That can be incredibly useful information when you\u2019re getting ready for another year of trading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve successfully tracked and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/managing-cash-flow\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">managed your cash flow<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> throughout the year, doing your year-end accounts will be much easier. That cash flow statement can then also be used to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/how-to-prepare-a-cash-flow-forecast\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">create a cash flow forecast<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which will make it easier to predict the money that will come into and go out of your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The balance sheet<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the main sections of your accounting, and it\u2019s one of the most important. No organisation of your year-end accounts will be complete if you haven&#8217;t checked that your balance sheet is correct. There\u2019s a lot of information on even a basic balance sheet, inducing details about your assets, liabilities, and equity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal of your balance sheet is to ensure that your liabilities and your equity are the same total amount as your assets. As before, if there are any mistakes or inaccuracies, resolve them as quickly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 7: Inventory<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your business has inventory, it needs to be included in your year-end accounts. You\u2019ll need a complete list of your supplies and materials, so carry out an inventory check before the end of the fiscal year. During this check, potential issues such as excess inventory or inventory shrinkage can be spotted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accounting for your inventory is helpful for more than just balancing your year-end accounts. It can also give you great insights into your annual inventory spend, which is fantastic information as you start thinking about next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 8: Receipt organisation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As long as you&#8217;re not still storing your business receipts in your desk drawer in a growing pile of stationary, your business receipts should be an easy step to complete. Disorganised business receipts are a bad sign, and they can be very risky too. If your receipts aren\u2019t organised, your accounting is far more likely to be inaccurate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of basic accounting is nothing more than being neat, tidy, and organised. Go the opposite route with messy, disorganised receipt management and your chances of making a mistake on your business tax returns will be much higher.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 9: Reconciling credit cards and bank accounts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to make sure that your bank account records match your accounting records. To do this, simply compare them. Everything should match. If not, you need to resolve those discrepancies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 10: Back-up<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a good idea to back up your accounting details at the end of the fiscal year. This ensures that you won\u2019t lose that information. You\u2019ll need a reliable system for your backup. Some business owners save everything to their computer or print off every document and keep those documents somewhere secure. Of course, if you&#8217;re using cloud-based accounting software, backups are automatic and so you can skip this step on your annual accounts checklist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 11: Give everything to your accountant<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/why-business-owners-need-accountants\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">using an accountant<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, after you\u2019ve collected and collated all of your financial statements and resolved any discrepancies, you will then hand all of that information to them. Again, if you&#8217;re using accounting software, this will be much easier than printing every document off and handing over a physical copy of everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will likely need to hand over most of the information already listed above. Always talk to your accountant first though. They will give you a full breakdown of everything they need. They may simply need access to your accounting software.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 12: Don\u2019t stress<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing year-end accounts can feel like a major cause of stress, but <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/tips-dealing-business-stress\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">they don\u2019t need to be<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The more organised you are with your bookkeeping throughout the year, the easier those annual accounts will be to organise. Take your time, resolve issues as you discover them, and talk to your accountant if you&#8217;re unsure about something. Year-end accounts are important to get right, and they can be beneficial for a wide range of reasons. But don\u2019t let them cause unnecessary headaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 13: Start planning for the year ahead<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve got everything done, it&#8217;s time to look ahead. With all of your year-end accounts up to date and accurate, future plans will be much easier to formulate. Use your cash flow statements to spot the busiest times of the year, and use your inventory checks to ensure that you don\u2019t run out of key inventory at the busiest times of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Make your year-end accounts easier to get right<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/5-expansion-tips-for-growing-your-business\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing a business<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is significantly easier if your financial records are clear, error-free, and organised.
