For any SME, Financial Stability is essential for survival and growth. However, most business owners begin with passion — not financial expertise. As a result, accounting is often overlooked until problems arise.

Accounting helps answer critical business questions:

• ✔ Is the business making profit?
• ✔ Do we have enough cash to pay suppliers and employees?
• ✔ What are our top expenses?
• ✔ Are we compliant with tax regulations?
• ✔ Can we access bank loans or investors?

Without these answers, decisions become guesswork.

1️⃣ Bookkeeping — The Foundation of Accounting

Bookkeeping is the process of recording every financial transaction. It ensures that business data is accurate, accessible, and audit-ready. Modern tools like accounting software simplify this process, minimize errors, and save time.

2️⃣ The Importance of Cash Flow Management

An SME can be profitable and still run out of money.

Cash flow management involves planning and controlling the movement of cash within the business. Tracking receivables, payables, and cash reserves helps ensure smooth operations and prevents liquidity issues.

3️⃣ Financial Reporting — Insights for Better Decisions

Reports are not just documents — they tell the story of business performance.

• ✔ Income Statement
• ✔ Balance Sheet
• ✔ Cash Flow Statement

These help identify profitable areas, rising costs, and opportunities for improvement.

4️⃣ Tax & Compliance for Sri Lankan SMEs

Compliance with Inland Revenue Department (IRD) rules protects businesses from penalties and unlocks financial benefits such as tax incentives and deductions.

• ✔ Annual Returns
• ✔ VAT/NBT (if applicable)
• ✔ PAYE/Social Security contributions

is essential for maintaining credibility with banks and investors.
