Rodman & Rodman, P.C. Shares Cash Flow Tips for Small Business

April 27, 2011 //  by admin

Statistics show that in a good economy, approximately one third of all small businesses do not survive their first year of business. Approximately two-thirds do not survive year three. The primary reason a business fails is poor financial management, which in many cases is preventable.

So how can a small business survive in a bad economy? Larry Rice, CPA, Director of Strategic Consulting of Rodman & Rodman, P.C., Certified Public Accountants and business strategists catering to small and medium sized companies throughout New England, outlines critical cash flow tips for small business owners to help them weather a bad economy and beyond.

Create a cash flow projection or plan. Every small business should measure projected cash flow one year forward. That projection should be updated on a quarterly basis. A good cash flow projection starts with a good sales projection. Use historical data and be sure to consider any changes in your environment such as competition, economic change, etc. Once you have that sales projection, then it is a matter of translating those sales into the time frames that you get paid for those sales. When you place the payment for those expenses along side the receipt of revenues, you’ve created a cash flow projection.

Plan appropriately for capital expenditures. Due to an aversion of debt, many business owners pay cash for significant corporate assets. This can lead to a cash flow disaster. A good rule of thumb is that all long term assets should be financed over the expected life of those assets. If you are going to buy a machine that will last 10 years, you should seek to finance it over those 10 years. The idea is to match the outflows (the payment for the assets) to the time you expect to generate inflows (sales) from the use of that asset.

Better your credit management. Eager to make any sales, some owners do not have strong credit policies. The worst of all cash flow problems is to expend all the resources to make a product or provide a service, and then not get paid for it. Small business can not be too eager to have just any customers; they need to have the right customers. Go after the customers you want, not the customers who will waste your energy as you chase them to get paid.

Manage suppliers. Small business often pays its bills at designated times, which often are too early. Sometimes this is for convenience but can be dangerous to cash flow. Bills should be
paid timely to maintain good customer relations, but as close to the due date as possible. Seek opportunities for taking the better discounts for prompt payment from suppliers.

Manage inventory. Sometimes owners do not want to rid themselves of stale inventory at a discount, hoping that some customer will appear to pay full price. Sometimes the best course is to get rid of the inventory and use the cash for other more practical purposes.

Maintain a good relationship with a bank/lending officer. Not all credit decisions are objective. By maintaining positive communications, sometimes credit which might not be available can be secured when you maintain an open dialogue

According to Rice, “The most important financial statement is not the Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss; it is the Cash Flow Statement. Only the cash flow statement tells you how much cash your business is generating from operations. A very profitable company can still fail if the cash flow isn’t there to sustain that profit. Bottom line: more businesses fail because of poor cash flow than poor profit. Good cash flow planning is the key to small business success in any economy.”

Rodman & Rodman shares “Top 10 Things Your Accountant Wants to Tell You”

January 5, 2011 //  by admin

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Larry Rice, CPA

CONTACT: Steven V. Dubin, PR Works, (781) 582-1061, sdubin@prworkzone.com

Local CPAs Share the “Top 10 Things Your Accountant Wants to Tell You”

DATELINE: BRAINTREE AND NEWTON, MASS… As tax season commences, Rodman & Rodman P.C., CPAs and Business Strategists with offices in Braintree and Newton, shares the “Top 10 Things Your Accountant Wants to Tell You” to make filing taxes easier on both the tax payer and the CPA.

Take heed:

1)If your accountant sends you a tax organizer to complete and send in, don’t concern yourself so much with filling in the numbers. Just be sure to answer the questions in the organizer and provide the necessary documents. Answering the questions may raise an issue of importance that needs addressing.

2)Send in your information when you have MOST of it, not all of it. Indicate what is missing and get it in when you have it. Waiting until the last document is received puts more time pressure on your CPA to get more done in less time.

3)Notes are helpful. Anything which helps clarify an issue or that may be a question about an issue, helps.

4)Please be sure to confirm any estimated taxes you paid during the year. This is probably the area where the most misunderstandings occur and mistakes are made.

5)Don’t overvalue your clothing donations. There are guides available to help you value these items. Just because a sweater cost you $100, it doesn’t mean it is worth $50 or more to the homeless gentleman who is grateful to wear it. This is an issue of IRS interest. If you get audited, they’ll be looking at these donations, so be conservative.

6)Extending your return does not make it more likely to be audited. If you know you won’t have it together before April 15th, let your CPA know as soon as possible so an extension can be prepared well ahead of the deadline. Extending early takes significant pressure off everyone involved.

7)Make sure your CPA is aware of major events that could affect your taxes as far ahead of that event as possible. In many cases, once that event passes, the ability to take best tax advantage of it passes with it.

8)Missing documents cost time and money. Keep a folder, envelope or file for documents of a tax nature. When in doubt, put it in this folder and send it. While accountants aren’t crazy about shoe boxes full of receipts, having 30 percent of your information missing is a time killer.

9)If you buy and sell stock during the year, be sure to include a gain or loss schedule on these stocks sold. You may have to ask your broker for that information or oftentimes a schedule is available online.

10)The IRS almost never communicates with taxpayers except through official, mailed correspondence. Never respond to a phone inquiry or email inquiry without contacting your CPA first. You could be at risk for identity theft as theives posing as the IRS will try to obtain your social security number by phone or email.

According to Larry Rice, CPA, Director of Strategic Consulting at Rodman & Rodman, “Many of these tips may seem too simple to make a difference, but essentially, they do. A lot of time is wasted when your accountant has to double back and hound you for additional detail or receipts. Decent record-keeping and good communication are key for smoother and more efficient tax filing all around.”
