The spring holidays ended on 11 november, and many people were slowly moving into working conditions, but for financiers, the day had been a critical start to the year。
At the beginning of the work, he was busy and busy, and by the end of the month he would only be more tired and frightened。
Let me tell you today what the financial priorities are to keep the pace of work steady and to reduce risks and make it easy for the whole year。
First, we'll sort out the documents before and after spring
The easiest place to accumulate vacations is through documents and the easiest place to lose and the easiest place to mess with。
The first thing on the 11th of the month is to place all paper and electronic documents in uniform before and after the festival:
- staff claims, travel, hospitality, office bills
- bank returns, receipts, payment checks
- purchase invoices, sales invoices, cost-related documents
Priority is given to checking whether invoices, tax numbers, projects, dates are in line, classifying those that can be accounted for first, and identifying those that cannot be accounted for separately, thus avoiding later recovery。
Documents are poorly prepared, followed by books, taxes and audits。
2. Information on the accounting and reconciliation of funds, which must be done first
This is the most basic line of finance。
Two core materials will be completed on this date:
Cash balance sheet: reconciliation of cash on hand and book balances and timely identification of reasons for the length of payments。
Bank deposit reconciliation: all bank flow during spring seasons is exported and the financial journals are reconciled, bank balance reconciliations are prepared and outstanding items are cleared。
The funds were not properly accounted for and all subsequent statements were not valid。
Work begins with matching funds, which can guarantee the financial security of the enterprise as well as its own。
Closing of accounts in march/january and closing of accounts
On the eleventh month, it coincided with the closing of the gold bill at the beginning of the month。
Prioritize these elements:
- income, costs and costs are fully pooled
- complete accounting for depreciation, amortization, wages, taxes, etc
- certificate entry, audit, accounting, carry-over gains and losses
- generate balance sheets, profit statements, cash flow statements
Ensure that the books of accounts are in line with those of the books of accounts and the statements of accounts。
The month of january will be completed, followed by february and march, which will be much easier and will not be towed by the old ones。
4 tax returns and invoicing information, prepared in advance and unstepped the pit
There are two things that finance is most afraid of: mistaxes, leaks。
On the 11th of the month there is no need to make a declaration, but the information must be ready:
- summary of value added tax (vat) sales invoices
- surcharge, stamp duty, individual data reconciliation
- inspection of old invoices, receipt, billing systems
At the same time, this year's remittances are not far from being paid, and it is possible to start compiling annual financial statements, tax information, favourable policy-related vouchers, preparing them in advance and leaving them behind, undisturbed and anxious。
5. Reconciling of transactions, liquidation at the beginning of the year and year-round problems
At the beginning of the year it is best to clean up traffic:
- reconcile receivables with clients
- reconciliation of accounts payable with suppliers
- borrowing of internal staff, timely liquidation of the reserve
Each pair is clear, results in a reconciliation record or statement, with the condition that the other party sign the stamp。
At the beginning of the year, transactions were cleared to reduce the risk of bad debts and to avoid a bad reconciliation at the end of the year。
6 data archiving + annual plans, professional finance
There is a lot of money in the books, and it's valuable to sort out and plan。
Staple all documents, statements, declarations, contract classification after the preceding section and file all electronic documents under a single name。
A simple schedule of financial work for 2026:
Monthly closing times, filing times, remittances, business annual reports, financial plans, etc。
There are plans, the rhythm of work, and no rush to run。
Final summary
On the eleventh of the month, instead of seeking to do much more, the basics were:
Documents, funds, accounts, taxes, transactions, files。
Financial work is not about busy work, but about steady, fine and smooth。
One step at the beginning of the year, one easy step throughout the year。
May every financial person, for the new year, be balanced, work well, work less overtime, and do well。
