Get your records ready for year-end accounts.

A practical starting point for NZ sole traders, contractors and small businesses. Gather what you have, tick items off as you go, and tell your accountant what is missing.

Confirm the accounting period and records needed with Mohit first. This checklist helps you organise documents; it does not determine which expenses are deductible. Your ticks stay on this page only and are cleared when you reload.

Sales and bank records

Expenses and assets

Loans, payroll and tax

Changes to explain

GST or rental income?

If you are GST registered, also confirm your last filed period and any outstanding returns. See GST filing support and preparation details.

For rental properties, gather property manager statements and records of costs paid directly. Our rental accounting page includes a separate property records list.

Ready to work through it?
