To make it easy for you to set up as a sole trader. Here is a checklist to guide you: https://www.business.govt.nz/getting-started/sole-trader-guide/sole-trader-checklist/
There are four areas that are important to understand when you’re a sole trader.
- Getting started as a sole trader – registering for myIR, myACC and other information.
- Financial – essential tasks – filing your tax return and other essential tasks.
- Business paperwork – filing the right information in the right way.
- Hiring staff – what to do if you want to bring on staff.
When you’re deep in the day-to-day of running your business, it can be hard to keep track of the bigger picture. Or maybe these tasks are simply not your cup of tea. Seeking advice from different sources can give you a fresh perspective on your business. Consider getting help from:
- a traditional accountant
- a digital accountant
- business mentors
- investment advisors
Seeking advice from an accountant or bookkeeper can free up time for you to focus on what you do best – your job.
