How We Work

From Financial Records to Business Clarity.

Good accounting isn’t just about keeping records up to date.

At Wafra, we follow a structured process designed to help you understand your finances, stay organised and gain clearer visibility over the performance of your business.

Introduction

A More Practical Approach to Accounting

Every business is different.

Before recommending a service or accounting structure, we first take the time to understand how your business operates — how you earn, how you spend, how you manage projects and where your current financial challenges are.

From there, we build an accounting and financial management process around what your business actually needs.

We don’t believe in giving business owners reports they don’t understand. We believe in giving them numbers they can use.

The Wafra Process

From First Conversation to Financial Clarity.

01
Discover

We Understand Your Business

Before touching the numbers, we understand the business behind them.

During our initial discovery, we discuss:

  • Your business model
  • Industry and operations
  • Current accounting process
  • Revenue structure
  • Major expenses and overheads
  • GST status
  • Existing accounting challenges
  • Financial visibility you currently have
  • Your goals for the business

The objective is simple: understand where you are before deciding what you need.

02
Review

We Review Your Financial Position

Where applicable, Wafra reviews your existing accounting records and processes to identify areas that require attention.

This may include:

  • Bookkeeping records
  • Bank reconciliations
  • Outstanding receivables
  • Supplier and subcontractor payables
  • Expense categorisation
  • GST records
  • Existing accounting reports
  • Project costing methods
  • Accounting backlog or inconsistencies

Think of this as a financial health check for your accounting system.

03
Structure

We Build the Right Financial Structure

Once we understand your business, we establish a practical accounting workflow.

Depending on the engagement, this can include:

  • Chart of accounts organisation
  • Bookkeeping processes
  • Expense categorisation
  • Bank reconciliation workflow
  • Accounts receivable tracking
  • Accounts payable tracking
  • GST record management
  • Monthly closing procedures
  • Management reporting structure

For project-based businesses, also include:

  • Individual project tracking
  • Project income vs project costs
  • Supplier and subcontractor costs
  • Variation order tracking
  • Project gross profit
  • Project margin monitoring
04
Manage

We Keep Your Numbers Organised

Wafra manages the agreed accounting scope according to the selected service package.

Instead of allowing financial records to accumulate until year-end, we help maintain a more consistent financial management process throughout the year.

Record

Transactions are properly captured and categorised.

Reconcile

Financial records are checked against relevant bank activity and supporting documents.

Monitor

Important financial movements, outstanding items and business performance are monitored.

Report

Financial information is organised into meaningful reports.

05
Understand

We Turn Numbers Into Insights

Receiving a Profit & Loss statement is one thing.

Understanding what it means for your business is another.

Depending on the service package selected, Wafra can help business owners understand:

  • Revenue performance
  • Gross profit
  • Operating expenses
  • Major cost movements
  • Cash flow position
  • Outstanding customer payments
  • Supplier obligations
  • Monthly profitability
  • Project profitability
  • Budget vs actual performance
  • Financial trends requiring attention

Your accounts shouldn’t just tell you what happened. They should help you decide what happens next.

06
Grow

Better Visibility. Better Decisions.

As your business grows, your financial requirements may change.

Wafra’s role can evolve with your business — from bookkeeping and compliance support to management reporting, budgeting, cash flow planning and financial analysis.

The objective is not simply to keep your books organised. The objective is to give you greater confidence when making decisions about:

  • Pricing
  • Hiring
  • Spending
  • Expansion
  • Project selection
  • Cost control
  • Cash reserves
  • Business growth
Built for Project-Based Businesses

Know Which Projects Are Actually Making You Money.

A renovation company can have strong sales and still experience cash flow problems.

Why?

Because revenue alone doesn’t show the full picture.

Deposits may be collected upfront. Suppliers require payment at different stages. Subcontractors need to be paid. Variation orders change contract values. Project timelines shift. Overheads continue every month.

Without proper project-level tracking, it’s difficult to know where the profit actually went.

Wafra helps organise project financial information so business owners can gain clearer visibility over:

Contract Value
Variation Orders
Direct Project Costs
Supplier & Subcontractor Costs
Gross Profit
Project Margin

Busy doesn’t always mean profitable. We help you see the difference.

What We Need From You

Simple Collaboration. Clearer Accounts.

Successful accounting requires timely information from both sides.

01

Documents

Provide the required invoices, receipts, statements and supporting records.

02

Communication

Let us know about significant transactions or changes in the business.

03

Timeliness

Submit requested documents within the agreed timeframe.

04

Collaboration

We'll handle the numbers, but we'll also ask questions when we need to understand the business behind a transaction.

Good financial management is a partnership between your business and your accounting team.
