5 super found that you should know even if you have nothing to do with accounting

summary

Why do you need accounting knowledge if you start a business?

Accounting knowledge is essential for entrepreneurship.Accounting knowledge becomes indispensable to grow a business.This time, let's take a concrete look at entrepreneurs who have accounting knowledge and entrepreneurs who have no knowledge of accounting as an example.

Entrepreneur with accounting knowledge

First, let's look at entrepreneurs who have knowledge of accounting.With accounting knowledge, you can accurately measure what your company is now.

・ The funds are likely to run out ・ There is an unable to collect accounts receivable.

You can immediately grasp this situation and work to collect cash flow and accounts receivable.

The funds are the lifeline for the company.Without funds, you can't buy it, and you can't pay your employees.Funding is essential for running a company.

The knowledge needed to manage the funds is the accounting knowledge.

Entrepreneur without accounting

Let's take a look at entrepreneurs who have no knowledge of accounting.

・ The funds are likely to run out ・ There is an unable to collect accounts receivable.

What happens if you are an entrepreneur who doesn't notice such a situation?

If you do not notice the danger signal that the funds are likely to run out, the countermeasures will be delayed.If you receive a loan from a bank or a financial institution, collect the accumulated accounts receivable, or take action for cash flow, you will be short of funds and you will not be able to pay for business partners and employees.

If this is the case, it will be difficult for the company to continue management.Nobody thinks that you will continue to trade with a company that does not pay for sales or stay in a company where your salary is not paid.If you do not pay money, you will lose trust from business partners and employees.

Be careful of surplus bankruptcy

また、毎月売上が上がっているからといって油断してはいけません。取引先からすぐにお金を受け取っている場合は問題ありませんが、請求書を発行して翌月末に口座へ振り込んでもらう一般的な掛け取引の場合は、お金が入金されるまでその取引に対して注意を払っている必要があります。

If this money is not deposited, that is, if the accounts receivable is accumulated, the company will not be able to enter the company than expected, and the sales will go bankrupt without money even though the sales are good.This is because it could result in "surplus bankruptcy".

Therefore, entrepreneurs must pay attention to the company's cash flow.If you have the knowledge of accounting, you will be able to immediately notice the state of funds and accounts receivable, and you will be able to move on the cash flow before the money runs out.

Accounting knowledge must be given to the company in running the company.

5 super found that you should know even if you have nothing to do with accounting

There are many such entrepreneurs who have been unrelated to accounting until now.Here, for such people, we will introduce five basic knowledge of Mazui accounting if you know at least this.

What we will introduce in the future is that you must know in running the company.Let's study accounting little by little.

1.I can't make anything expenses

Someone who is not familiar with accounting and final tax return may misunderstand, "Isn't the president a cost?"Expenses even if you drink coffee during a break.Expenses even if you eat lunch.Expenses even if you buy a suit.But that's not the case.

会社の経費と個人の私費は明確に区別する必要があります。それは例え社長や経営者でも同じこと。個人的な食事代や商品の購入費用などは経費にすることはできません。

The only expenditure of the company is "indispensable for business management".Expenditures that are not related to business are not expenses.

The act of expenses with personal expenditures will add more expenses.Increases expenses -If you file a tax declaration on a higher amount than the original expenses, the more expenses you have, the more the company's profits will be.If the company's profits decrease, the tax amount to be paid will decrease than the original tax amount.

Don't misunderstand here, "Is it good to reduce taxes?"In a nutshell, tax evasion is intentionally reduced.Tax evasion is a crime.

Let's clearly distinguish expenses and private expenses and operate a clear company.

2.Don't throw away the receipt

Accounting is legally obliged to preserve materials called "Shohyo".Proof is a document that is evidence of business transactions made through businesses such as invoices and contracts.Some of the proof actually include receipts.

The receipt is a document that proves that trading trading was performed between the buyer and the store.Therefore, preservation is required legally.

Have you ever heard that you can't pay for the company because you have lost your receipt?This is because I lost my receipt, so I couldn't prove that I really made a trading trading with the store.

日常生活の中では「レシートは受け取らない」「すぐに捨ててしまう」という方もいますよね。しかし、こと事業においてはそうはいきません。経費としたいレシートはすべて捨てずに保存するようにしましょう。

3.Taxes declare yourself

Company employees will make year -end adjustments.Income tax is also deducted from salary, and there are not many opportunities to be aware of how much tax you have.Special taxes such as automobile tax and property tax will be notified of tax payments from the tax office.For this reason, some people feel that tax is automatically calculated without doing anything.

However, if you start a business, that is not the case.Basically, the tax of the company is to declare and pay.If you wait, the tax office will not receive the tax payment notice.

Tax filing requires specialized knowledge.Therefore, it is better to ask a tax accountant office when you are just starting a business.

4.Tax evasion is out

If you start a business and perform accounting processing, you may have a good idea, "Isn't it a little bit of a little bit?"

However, tax evasion is something.There is no route for tax evasion.The contents of the submitted declaration are inconsistent, found from it, or employees and stakeholders informs them.

On the other hand, there are times when a survey is included.On the other hand, a survey is a survey in which a company is going to confirm the history of transactions with the company in order to confirm whether a company processing is performed correctly.If you are relieved that there is no tax audit to your company, you may find a survey through another company and find it.

Of course, if you find a tax evasion, you will need to pay more than the cheating tax amount.Recognize that tax evasion is something that is out of order, and try to be sincere.

5.Let's introduce accounting software

起業をしたら会計ソフトを導入しましょう。安いもので構いません。現代では会計ソフトなしの経理業務はほぼ不可能だと考えてください。

Accounting software is to record the daily flow of money of the company.Record what the company spent on the company and where the deposit was from.Creating a financial statement based on journals and journals is legally obliged, so it must be done as a corporation.

会計ソフトにはソフトをパソコンにインストールして使用するインストール型と、クラウド上にあるソフトを使用するクラウド型の2種類があります。起業したばかりの会社におすすめなのはクラウド型の会計ソフトです。

Cloud -type accounting software has accounting software on the Internet cloud, and input data is also stored on the cloud.Therefore, data backup is not required.Accounting work will be possible from anywhere if you have the Internet.It is easy to exchange accounting data with tax accountant offices and accountant offices.

In addition, since the price of cloud -type accounting software is often determined according to the company size, companies that have just started a business can use accounting software at a low price.

summary

Accounting knowledge is indispensable to run a company.The fate after entrepreneurship changes greatly between entrepreneurs who have knowledge of accounting and entrepreneurs who do not.

As long as you are the company to run the company, try to remember these five."I can't do anything," "Don't throw away the receipt," "Tax declares from yourself."This is an important matter that you want to be.These knowledge will surely help in running the company.
