Accounting advisory for companies and SMEs

Accounting for an SME should not be just a formality to comply with the Tax Agency or to close the financial year without surprises. It should serve a much more valuable purpose: helping you truly understand how your business is performing, make better decisions, and detect costly errors in time.
 
At ASO Corporate we approach accounting with a clear goal: making your numbers work for you, not against you. Because well-organised accounting does not only ensure compliance. It also gives you control, a real understanding of your business, and greater confidence when making decisions.
 
We offer in-person consultations in Barberà del Vallès by appointment and also online across the province of Barcelona.

Your accounting shouldn’t only serve compliance: it should help you make better decisions

The Spanish General Accounting Plan for SMEs (Plan General de Contabilidad de PYMES) is based on a central principle: the financial statements must present a true and fair view of the company’s assets, financial position, and results. These financial statements are essentially composed of the balance sheet, the profit and loss account, and the notes (financial statement disclosures).

In plain terms: if your accounting does not allow you to understand what is really happening in your business, then it is not serving its purpose.

Because an SME does not survive only by “filing on time”. It survives by:

• knowing whether it is truly profitable;
• identifying where margins are being lost;
• understanding whether it is growing in a controlled or risky way;
• and making decisions based on reliable financial information.

What a good accounting advisory actually does

A good accounting advisory does not simply enter invoices or classify transactions. It does something much more important: it organises your company’s financial information so it actually makes sense.
That means:

• keeping your accounting up to date;
• correctly classifying income, expenses, customers, and suppliers;
• detecting inconsistencies;
• preparing year-end closings with proper criteria;
• and ensuring your accounting reflects the operational and tax reality of the business.

 
The Spanish Accounting and Auditing Institute (ICAC) maintains the SME Accounting Plan (PGC PYMES) and states that annual accounts must be prepared under the conceptual accounting framework with the purpose of providing a true and fair view of the company’s assets, financial position, and results.

I want accounting that helps me make better decisions

Year-end closing, annual accounts, and accounting order without improvisation

One of the moments where you can clearly see whether accounting is well managed or not is the year-end closing.
When everything is done at the last minute, problems appear:

• rushed accounting entries;
• uncertainty about account balances;
• misstated accruals of income and expenses;
• accounts that do not properly reflect what actually happened;
• and a general feeling that everything “balances”, but no one is fully sure why.

The accounting framework for SMEs continues to be based on the SME Accounting Plan (PGC PYMES) approved by Royal Decree 1515/2007, as updated and applied by the Spanish Accounting and Auditing Institute (ICAC), with successive amendments that have simplified accounting obligations for small and medium-sized companies.

That is why good accounting advisory helps you reach year-end with:

• well-organised accounting records;
• consistent classification criteria;
• and a solid foundation for annual accounts, taxation, and decision-making.

Poor accounting costs money, time, and peace of mind

Many companies only realise the value of good accounting when a problem appears:

• a tax request or audit;
• a tax inspection;
• a year-end closing that does not make sense;
• a business decision made on incorrect figures;
• or a poorly structured tax position because the underlying accounting was already wrong.

This is the difference between accounting that “just gets things done” and accounting that is truly useful:
the first helps you comply; the second helps you earn more or lose significantly less.
Because when your numbers are properly understood:

• you can correct issues earlier;
• negotiate better;
• plan with more certainty;
• and avoid mistakes that, in the long run, cost far more than proper advisory ever would.

How we manage your company’s accounting

1. We understand how your business actually works
We don’t treat all companies the same. Accounting is not identical for a service business, a company with stock, a family-run SME, or a company with multiple lines of activity.

2. We organise the information
Income, expenses, suppliers, bank accounts, customers, year-end adjustments, and supporting documentation.

3. We review criteria and consistency
Accounting must reflect what is actually happening in the business, not just “balance on paper”.

4. We help you read your numbers
We don’t want you to receive only balance sheets or closings. We want you to understand what they are telling you.

5. We prepare a proper year-end close and link it to taxation
Well-prepared accounting also improves tax efficiency and reduces carried-over errors.

What documentation do we need?

If you already have it, it is useful to gather:

• issued and received invoices;
• bank statements;
• customer and supplier information;
• previous balances or closings, if available;
• previous annual accounts, if they have been prepared;
• and any document that helps us understand how your company’s accounting is currently being managed.

If you don’t have everything, that’s not a problem. We’ll tell you what is truly needed and where it makes sense to start.

If you want a more organized, more profitable small business with greater control over its finances, this is where the change begins.

Your business doesn’t just need accounting. It needs accounting that helps you understand your numbers better, make better decisions, and avoid costly mistakes.
