End of Financial Year Preparation for Business Owners

A focused checklist for getting records, reconciliations and questions ready before the annual reporting cycle.

Why this matters

End of financial year preparation is easier when it is treated as a review of the year's records, not a race to find them. A structured handover gives an accountant a clearer starting point and reduces avoidable follow-up.

What to organise

Reconcile bank accounts, review unpaid invoices and bills, collect loan and asset records, and confirm payroll information is complete. Keep notes for unusual transactions, owner withdrawals, new finance arrangements or significant changes in the business.

When to seek tailored support

Ask your accountant what they need from you and when. A pre-year-end conversation can also identify decisions that deserve advice before the reporting period closes.
