The accountant of the transport company must understand the specifics of this type of activity - this is a prerequisite for the correct display of financial transactions.
In addition, an experienced specialist will help in optimizing business processes, budgeting transportation costs, and developing a financial strategy for a transport logistics company.
Features of accounting in transport companies
Accounting in a transport company, first of all, consists in keeping records of the movement of funds related to the services provided.
In order for a specialist to clearly understand all aspects of the company's activities, he must work closely with its other departments: maintenance, logistics, and others.
This will allow you to correctly conduct cash transactions, accounting for transportation costs and income, control fleet costs, and fuel cost accounting.
Also, the accounting department of a transport company must:
- Perform financial control of transportation and other related activities;
- Conduct economic analysis, generate financial reports and submit them to management, and participate in financial planning;
- Prepare documents for the tax authorities. At the same time, both the correctness of their filling and the deadlines for filing are of significant importance. To avoid fines and other troubles with regulatory authorities, the accountant must be aware of any changes in tax reporting for logistics and carriers.
Given all this, it is important to understand that qualified accounting in a transport and logistics company is the key to ensuring its financial stability and transparency of activities, successful financial management and business development.
Accounting options
Depending on the wishes of the management, accounting in a freight forwarding company can be organized in various ways:
- Selection and hiring of your own staff. Such a solution is associated with additional financial and time costs. To avoid penalties, it is important to select qualified specialists who need to provide a decent salary, arrange functional workplaces, and purchase specialized programs;
- Hiring a visiting accountant. This is a fairly economical option for organizing accounting in a transport company, which is associated with a number of risks. As a rule, such a specialist cooperates with several firms, and may not have time to keep up with specific changes in the legislative and tax framework. At the same time, a loner is unlikely to compensate for the damage caused by his incompetence;
- Cooperation on the terms of outsourcing. This is the best option in terms of price and quality. A third-party company takes care of the transport company and provides guarantees of a high-quality result, and is also fully responsible for possible errors.
