If you only do five things before year-end, do these. Each one reduces your tax bill, your stress, or both — and all of them are far easier now than in a last-minute scramble.
1. Reconcile everything now
Chasing receipts in [Month] is miserable. Reconcile your accounts while the transactions are still fresh, and year-end becomes a review rather than a reconstruction.
If your books are on cloud accounting, this is mostly a matter of clearing the unreconciled queue and confirming your bank balances match.
2. Bring forward deductible spend
Planned purchases that qualify for deductions or capital allowances are often worth making before year-end rather than after. The timing can move the deduction a full year earlier.
Talk to your accountant before committing — the right answer depends on your profit position this year versus next.
3. Review your structure
As profits grow, the structure that suited you at the start may no longer be the most efficient. Year-end is a natural moment to check.
