Year End Pressures

That Can Affect Your Profit

Year-end can become difficult when your records are incomplete, transactions have not been reconciled or important adjustments have been missed.

Hospitality Annual Accounts 23 1

Incomplete Financial Records

Missing transactions, unreconciled balances or incorrect records can make it difficult to prepare accurate annual accounts.

Stock & Cost Adjustments

Hospitality businesses can have significant stock, food costs and other year-end figures that need to be reviewed before accounts are finalised.

Unclear Business Performance

Your annual accounts should give you a reliable picture of your sales, costs, assets, liabilities and profit or loss for the year.

Corporation Tax Preparation

Your annual accounts provide important information for calculating your taxable profit, but the accounting profit and Corporation Tax profit are not always the same.

Filing Deadlines

Annual accounts and Corporation Tax returns have separate filing and payment deadlines. Missing them can lead to penalties.

Multiple Revenue Streams

Restaurants, cafés, hotels and other hospitality businesses can have sales from EPOS, cash, cards, delivery platforms, catering and other sources that all need to be reflected accurately in the records.
