How to prepare for the end of the financial year
30 May 2024
We’re nearly at the end of the financial year, so if you’re balance date/end of financial year is 30 June, there are a few things you need to do to help us prepare your financials.
Take a stocktake
If your business sells products/has stock, you’ll need to do a stocktake on 30 June. If you’re a business that sells products, then you need to take a stocktake of your physical inventory. If you’re a farmer, then you need to take a physical livestock tally.
