5 steps to preparing for a financial audit
Let’s face it: “audit” is a heavily dreaded word no business owner wants to hear, let alone think about. But even though an audit might seem unlikely, it's crucial to prepare.
The way forward
We live in a fast-moving world where things can change at any moment. That’s why we believe your accountants should be a stable, dependable presence – one that provides certainty when everything else is uncertain.
Welcome to the new way of doing accounting. Our modern approach combines slick cloud-based systems, fully paperless processes and a knowledgeable, proactive team of professionals who help lift the burden of running a business.
How we help you transform
The Xen way
Our mission is to remove all pain points from your company’s finances. We do this by combining the latest cloud technology with our sector-focused expertise in accounting, payroll, and tax, ensuring all systems run as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
The recipe starts with getting to know you and your business better – we need to make sure we’re a good fit for each other before diving in. Once we build a base, we’ll go back to the drawing board and draft up a tailored process for your business. Then we’ll hop on another chat to show you what we have in mind and how we’ll work together, with a goal towards creating an accounting process that addresses your business’ specific needs.
Automated and paperless
Filing folders, cabinets, shoes boxes... time to forget them. Your team of virtual accountants uses smart tech that automates parts of the accounting process, which means everything is totally paperless. Less work, less waste, and less harmful for the environment.
Dedicated accountants
Your focus should be on growing your business, plain and simple. Our focus is your success, which means we need to be accessible and responsive. We make sure that a quick turnaround for any accounting or tax question is a top priority.
Fixed pricing
Our focus is on quality, not how many hours we can spend on a deliverable. In turn, you pay for a result, not for time spent.
