Slash your tax bills with IMS!

IMS can be used as a marketing tool to help win valuable new business. The end of year tax time is one of the peak stress times in any business. Paperwork that lies un-entered since January, lost invoices and chargeable hours that have never been logged, one big disaster.

The worst-case scenario is that you back up the trailer and load paperwork liberally, spin it round to the accountant and watch your money fall out the back as your accountant breaks into a cold sweat. Organisation is the key to minimising your tax and accounting fees. Organisation also ensures you are in the best position to make last minute smart tax decisions.

IMS is the ultimate weapon against office chaos! Taking the time to set up IMS properly ensures that you get the best out of it. It will save you a bucket of time and stress at the end of each financial year.

Using IMS to its full capacity means, you have logged every hour both billable and non- billable for the whole financial year. You can track profit and loss on individual staff, monitor stock and control your finances with instant updates on your net position. Utilising the company diagnostic features you can run full reports at anytime from anywhere to know exactly where you stand.

No longer does the end of financial year need to be a huge stress. Call I-Man now if you need additional assistance to get your IMS working to peak performance. A little work now will save you weeks of pain and lost income later on.

IMS at work for Advantage Plumbing

Jason Tait, director of Advantage Plumbing has cleared his desk of a paperwork nightmare and vows never to go back to his life before IMS came to the office.

“It’s been an easy change “says Jason and within 24 hours of his sign up with i-man, customer service relations manager Bradley Bristow-Stagg, was on the phone walking him through the process.

Trialling the system first with one staff member and truck, Jason was so impressed that within 2 weeks all staff and vehicles were transitioned onto the new system. Customised for Advantage Plumbing, IMS has revolutionised his business and substantially increased his revenue.

Not only can Jason now track jobs from the initial enquiry through to invoicing, compliance and stock can be tracked and accounted for. “The biggest benefit”, Jason says, “is the turnaround in revenue”. Previous issues of unaccounted hours and unhappy clients due to complicated office process, are now eliminated and as a result revenue has increased. No more lost paperwork or complicated systems, everything is managed by IMS.

Knowing his business can be contained and managed anywhere, anytime by IMS, Jason now has the capability to manage large contracts that once were logistically impossible. Procurement of goods to site, staffing movements, JSA requirements, OH&S and invoicing can now be done as a seamless and interrelated task rather than hours of labour intensive paperwork.

Jason is now enjoying more home time with family and friends as he knows he can log into the office at any time to check on job progress or attend to invoices without towing home the filing cabinet first!
