Home / Accounting / The golden rule of accounting: turning liabilities into assets
One of the most important rules of growing and maintaining your business is the act of transforming liabilities into assets.
The strategy generally relies on reworking or reactivating your existing business liabilities to your advantage.
Below are a few of the ways the golden rule can transform your business:
Restructuring your debt
With the help of a skilled accountant, you can restructure your debt to secure favourable terms, reducing interest rates and extending payment durations.
This approach not only lightens the financial load on your business but also frees up cash flow, turning a liability into a manageable asset.
Restructuring tax liabilities
This is an issue where professional advice is also essential to ensure your finances stay efficient and legally compliant.
An accountant restructures your liabilities by identifying applicable tax deductions and incentives, thus potentially lowering the taxable income.
Furthermore, they can assist in leveraging tax credits, fostering investments in research and development, or exploring other strategic avenues to optimise your tax position.
By engaging an experienced accountant, your business can develop tax planning strategies, transforming tax liabilities into opportunities for savings and investments as well as enhancing cash flow.
Beyond financial statements
Leveraging underutilised assets — be it staff or idle machinery – is a key part of turning liabilities into assets.
An experienced accountant can identify and unlock hidden potentials within your business, transforming dormant liabilities into active assets that start contributing to the growth of your business.
The first step to turning your liabilities into assets is engaging a trusted adviser who understands the intricate relationship between liabilities and assets.
It’s time to turn the golden rule of accountancy into a golden opportunity for your business.
