Taking Portable Payments

Posted by: Ewen Fletcher on April 04, 2018

Hello, it’s Ewen Fletcher from Sharp Accounting!

I’m here with our first video of the Cash Flow video series. We’re going to talk about one thing per week on how to improve your cash flow for your business.

Now this week I want to talk about portable payments – taking payment when you’re out on a job.

All to often we see clients having to go back home or to the office after completing a job only having to invoice and chase up payment for the work they have already completed.

What we’re suggesting that for a number of people to have a mobile eftpos machine or alternatively a device that can plug into your phone that can take credit card payments.

Either way you’ll be issuing an invoice and taking payment no site, straight away and there will be no delay in waiting for payment and you wont have to follow up with paper work.

Thats this weeks tip – give it a go.

Sharp Accounting is a local accounting firm in Ballarat. Sharp Accounting nurture business growth by adding value through collaboration and shared knowledge.

Ewen has been our accountant for more than 3 years and the changes within our business models have reflected his invaluable input. Ewen has provided support and recommendations on setting ourselves up for the future whilst continuing to run well established businesses. We highly recommend Ewen and the team at Sharp Accounting.

Sharp Accounting and Tarynn in particular are wonderful to deal with - she is incredibly professional, passionate and... thorough in all our dealings. She cares about her clients and always goes above and beyond. I cannot recommend her highly enough - she is an asset to our business and it is like having an extra employee on our team - she is always available and helpful whenever we have a question. Thank you Tarynn for all the hard work you put in.read more

We initially approached Sharp Accounting as we weren't entirely pleased with our previous accountants. Since we engaged... Ewen and Tarynn from Sharp Accounting, our business has made a steady profit every year. They changed the way we structured our accounting practices, and have listened to what we want to achieve every year. Somehow, even though our yearly goals were ambitious, they were able to get our business to our desired target within that financial year. We would highly recommend Sharp Accounting!read more
