Accurate Accounting

There's no room for human error in tax efficiency

However you decide to do your Square accounting you need to be certain that your books are accurate to ensure you are growing your business in the most tax efficient way possible.

Square accounting is complex. Anyone who tells you otherwise is most likely getting it wrong.

Since 2018 we've worked with 8,000+ businesses and we've found that upwards of 75% of them are making some form of accounting mistake.

These mistakes can ultimately lead to you getting your GST filings wrong and paying too much or too little tax, both of which can land you in hot water.
