BENEFITS

Shweta Krishnan

Maru and team are beyond impressive. We had trialled 2 other accounting firms in the past as a business but weren’t happy as we got rookie account managers. they also charged us a premium so the service wasn’t acceptable.

PremierOne is a breath of fresh air, they go above and beyond to help which really makes a huge difference to a small business such as ours. Maru also gives very sound advice and already saved our business a significant amount!

Can’t recommend them enough! Go ahead and you won’t regret. Super professional, efficient and reasonably priced.

HOW WE HELPED

Shweta runs a recruitment business that engages subcontractors across several Asian countries, leading to complex income and expense streams. Before working with us, the business lacked clarity on whether it was making a profit or loss across different categories and projects. There was no clear tracking of performance by project, and no understanding of their break-even point—making strategic decisions difficult.

We stepped in and implemented structured cost and profit centres using Xero’s tracking tools, allowing Shweta and her team to clearly identify profitability across all areas of the business. We also calculated their break-even sales target, enabling more accurate goal-setting and financial planning.

Through ongoing monthly meetings, we reviewed performance, cash flow, and budget variances, offering a clearer picture of how the business was tracking. One of the major wins was identifying a missed opportunity from the previous accountant—using loss carry-back provisions, we helped secure a $40,000 tax refund for the company.

In addition, our fixed, transparent monthly fee structure resulted in a 28% cost saving compared to the previous accountant, and included complimentary tax planning and strategic advice.

By managing bookkeeping in Xero, overseeing foreign exchange payments to subcontractors, handling tax accounting, and improving cash flow visibility, we enabled the company’s directors to shift focus from financial admin to leading and growing their business.
