Add management reports to your clients’ monthly tax service

Are you already providing monthly GST, VAT or sales tax returns for your clients? If so, it’s easy to add value to this service – with just a few extra clicks you can create management reports. Once you’ve prepared your clients’ monthly returns you know their accounts are up-to-date and accurate. This means there’s no extra reconciliation needed to produce reports such as accounts receivable. And of course, with Xero, there’s no need to transfer data into another system to create reports. Even if you’re not producing annual compliance accounts through Xero, you can still use Xero for monthly management reporting.

Use management reports as a basis for business advisory discussions with your clients

Instead of just sending your clients their management reports – take the opportunity to meet with your clients and use the reports as the basis for discussion. Advise on any red flags surfaced in the reports such as old debtors or a high creditors figure. It’s important to meet your clients regularly if you want to build a trusted advisory service with them.
