LYNDALL WARD, CATS4TAX

TAKING THE FEAR OUT OF TAXES

Tax. The three-letter word that strikes dread in the hearts of modern businesses.

Let’s face it. Tax procedures are not a walk in the park. For the layman and the plebeians, the mere thought of having to do one’s taxes is enough to bring on a migraine.

And even more so for small businesses who can feel overwhelmed, intimidated and confused by the enormity of their tax procedures.

Tax accountant Lyndall Ward is a specialist who is helping small businesses wade through the intricacies of tax compliance. She has been devoting her professional career to her firm CATS4Tax, dedicated to allaying the fears of small businesses when processing their taxes.

What people appreciate is Lyndall´s genuine enthusiasm about this much dreaded subject, and this combined with her experience and expertise is putting small business owners at ease when it comes to that time of the year. Lyndall is skilled at getting into a company’s financials and she has wellhoned relationships with the Tax Office, making CATS4Tax the place to go to for help getting through the tax labyrinth.

Interestingly, CATS4Tax is named after Lake Cathie, where Lyndall lives and works. Even the name is a welcoming and inviting one. It is just a 15-minute drive south of Port Macquarie. This gives Lyndall easy access to carry out personal client visits which she thrives on.

With her status as a Registered Tax Agent, Lyndall enjoys direct phone access to the Tax Office. This means she gets faster answers to questions instead of waiting for hours on end on a call waiting system.

While Lyndall is clearly the expert in numbers, what makes her stand out is her capacity to see the picture through her clients’ eyes. That’s why she is committed to putting in the effort to build trust with her clients and provide them with the much-needed reassurance that her tax compliance procedures are thorough and accurately done.

When clients are overawed or dismayed by the looming tax liabilities it’s vitally important to reassure them by giving them the trust that their affairs are in professional, experienced hands, says Lyndall.

Lyndall understands the concerns her clients have, and helping them meet their tax compliance can have its difficulties but it is nothing to be scared of. She is providing the encouragement to small businesses to bravely meet their responsibilities in the corporate world. Many involved in start-ups have no idea about how to deal with taxes and as scary as it may seem, meeting it head on with proper professional guidance is the best thing a business can do to ensure it has a clean, solid foundation to grow.

Lyndall prides herself on her ability to keep an eye on details when doing a deep dive into a company’s financial records and guiding clients with efficient bookkeeping. As Lyndall has a background as a software consultant, she has also been training clients in the application of accounting software such as XERO. This helps them to be more hands-on and streamlined with their financials.

Not everything is grey and gloomy in the world of taxes. One of Lyndall’s happy moments in her job is giving clients the occasional delightful news that they are getting a refund instead of facing a tax bill.

A country’s financial regulatory system can be subjected to constant changes and that can feel very unnerving for small businesses. That’s why it’s an asset having Lyndall on board as a constant guide to keep one’s numbers in order.

Simply said, taxes are inevitable but CATS4Tax helps small businesses have a much happier relationship with their numbers.
