Organic Growth

Growth uses cash before it makes cash. More customers usually means more stock, more staff and more work in progress before the extra income arrives. Growing from the business's own earnings – organic growth – is often the safest way to expand, but it needs a plan for the cash flow, the people and the resources. We help you build that plan and take on the extra administration the transition brings.

Planning the next stage

We start with where the business is now – your recent results and your books – and work forward:

• A cash flow forecast for the months ahead, including GST, PAYG and super, so the timing of tax payments is not a surprise. Our post on cash flow management explains why it matters.
• Hiring and resourcing – what the next hire will cost in total, and whether the role suits an employee or a contractor. See employee vs contractor.
• Thresholds you may cross as turnover grows, such as GST registration – see has your business crossed a GST threshold – and whether the current structure still suits the business. See business structuring.

The admin that growth brings

More staff and more transactions mean more compliance. We can take on payroll and super, bookkeeping, BAS and any new registrations, so the systems keep up with the business. The payday super checklist covers one change every employer needs to plan for.

If organic growth is not enough and you need outside money, see raising capital or help with finance applications.

What it costs

Planning and forecasting work is charged at our hourly rates of $220 to $420 an hour plus GST, and bookkeeping and administration at $120 an hour plus GST. We will tell you the cost before we start. See our price list.
