Help your clients to set the right payment structure with deposits

We know that a significant number of trades and services-based businesses take on work, perform it and ask for payment right at the end. You’ll also be familiar with the long wait that often occurs before payment is received. The team at Tradie Terms, a contract skills training service for trades, talks in this second webinar of their series about why they recommend you encourage your trades and services-based businesses to take a deposit to secure a booking for a job or project as the new ‘norm’.

Presented by Sian Wingate, the founder of Tradie Terms, former lawyer and legal educator with 20+ years of experience designing and training on quotes, pricing structures and terms of trade for infrastructure, construction and engineering companies, this session will walk you through why deposits create a positive first impression, are a powerful cash flow tool and why they need to be backed up with solid terms of trade. Sian will offer ways for you to help your clients to utilise these simple but effective changes to help them to get paid faster.

Following the introduction of Registered Bookkeeper status with Inland Revenue in April 2019, we have continued to receive positive feedback from our members on how this benefits them and their clients.

Registered bookkeepers can easily act and communicate with Inland Revenue on behalf of their clients, which makes it easier to stay on top of your clients’ tax positions and offer them a seamless service. Using an existing myIR login, the bookkeeper will have a single log on to access all of their clients, receive notifications and correspondence, and be able to file returns and update client details all in one place.

The team from Inland Revenue will be presenting webinars for our members to deliver more information on how to register as a bookkeeper, including what documentation you will need, and talk about all the benefits that you receive from registering.
