Benchmarking

Small business benchmarks are a guide to help you compare your business’s performance against similar companies in the same industry. Performance benchmarks are financial ranges for your industry to help you work out how you compare to other companies in your industry and if you need to make any improvements. Simplified Business Activity Statements can be used in some small businesses to ease the burden of calculating GST payable to the Australian Taxation Office. By using benchmarking, companies are able to focus their resources where it is needed – on their business, not on preparing Business Activity Statements. This can increase the profitability of the business. The Australian Taxation Office also use benchmarks and other risk indicators to identify businesses that may be avoiding their tax obligations by not reporting some (or all) of their income. Information reported in your tax returns or activity statements is compared with the key performance benchmark for your industry. If you would like to know more about benchmarking and your business, please contact us for an appointment to discuss.

Kirra Consulting can also liaise with the ATO on your behalf to arrange refunds, transfers, payment arrangements and sort out any discrepancies and errors.
  3. Kirra Consulting is an accounting practice with bookkeepers doing bookkeeping work at bookkeeping rates. In a unique environment where their bookkeepers work with their accountants, they understand what financial information is needed by accountants for quarterly, annual and tax reporting purposes. This ensures a high standard of accurate financial information is always at your accountants’ fingertips.
