Silicon Valley technology giants’ stock values fell off a cliff amid a global selloff after President Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon announced sweeping tariffs expected to boost U.S. prices and ignite trade wars with countries around the world.

The tariff announcement kicked off a breathtaking plunge in the U.S. stock market, and by close of trading Thursday afternoon the prices of Apple and Meta stock had plummeted 9%, and Santa Clara computer chip titan Nvidia was down nearly 8%. Google parent Alphabet and cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks slid almost 5%.

Trump announced a minimum tariff of 10% on imports starting April 5, with the tax rate running much higher on products from certain countries such as China, with 34%, Taiwan, with 32%, Vietnam, with 46% and the European Union, with 20%, starting April 9.

“President Trump refuses to let the United States be taken advantage of and believes that tariffs are necessary to ensure fair trade, protect American workers, and reduce the trade deficit — this is an emergency,” the White House said in a fact sheet Wednesday.

For Apple, Meta and Nvidia, the hit was substantially worse than across the major stock indexes, where the Dow Jones tumbled 4%, the S&P 500 sank close to 5% — for its worst day since the pandemic crashed the economy in 2020 — and the tech-heavy Nasdaq dove 6%.

“Trump’s tariffs and instability are wreaking havoc with companies’ stock prices,” said Adam Kovacevich, CEO of tech industry lobby group Chamber of Progress. “It’s causing investors to be nervous, it’s causing businesses to be uncertain about expansion plans, capital, supply chains.”

For Silicon Valley tech giants, the tariffs would significantly disrupt manufacturing and sales of hardware, software and services.

“That’s going to affect their profitability and may force increases in prices, and that may cause lower sales,” said Stanford Law professor Alan Sykes, who studies international trade. “Everybody sees high tariffs as a potential threat to their bottom line.”

Adding to investor worries over Silicon Valley firms is the threat of targeted punitive responses by tariff-hit countries seeking leverage with the Trump administration, Sykes said.

“The big American tech companies are the most profitable global companies we have, so they are the natural targets of retaliation by foreign governments,” Sykes said. Other nations such as China or members of the EU could slam Silicon Valley giants with taxes or hit them with anti-monopoly legal actions to put pressure on the U.S., Sykes said.

“All of these policies that affect the wellbeing of these companies are potentially in play if we have a full-scale trade war,” Sykes said. “If I were another country, and I wanted to exert pressure on the U.S. to change its ways, I’d go after the most influential U.S. companies, and the Silicon Valley companies are among the most influential.”

For this region’s tech giants, the tariffs deliver a smackdown that contrasts with the presence of their CEOs on Trump’s inauguration stage.

“I suspect some of the Silicon Valley supporters of Mr. Trump are having second thoughts,” Sykes said.

OPINION: DiliMall: Not a Mall for All

Photo credit: Lauren Nina Andres

For decades, the UP Shopping Center (SC) was a staple for the UP community. Filled with various stores from computer shops, school supplies stores, photocopying and bookbinding services, to food stalls, and beauty parlors, among others, the SC catered well to the needs of students, faculty, staff, and even residents of the campus. However, in 2018, the well-loved SC burned down, causing vendors to be displaced and its once affordable items and reliable services to no longer be easily accessible.

After the fire, the tenants experienced difficulties with relocating and rebuilding their establishments. According to an article by ABS-CBN, the University’s Business Concession Office drew lots for the affected business owners. Those that were picked were allowed to reopen in other locations on campus, such as Vinzon’s Hall, the Food Hub next to the Fine Arts Building, the Centennial Building, and the Acacia Building, among others. Some tenants were able to rebuild at the old tennis court nearby, provided by the administration as a temporary space, and others opted to reopen in Area 2. A month later, during the 1334th Board of Regents meeting held in April 2018, former UP President Danilo Concepcion announced plans for the rehabilitation of the SC into a more modern structure. And thus, “DiliMall” was born.

The move to rebuild and rebrand the SC as DiliMall was criticized by community stakeholders because the administration’s priorities seem to be misplaced as revealed in the proposed floor plan of the structure posted by the UP Diliman University Student Council (USC) last November 24, 2023. Robinsons Easymart and other known restaurants such as Mary Grace, Pancake House, and Army Navy take up the first floor, while the space given to UP vendors is found on the third floor. Not to mention, the vendors in the tennis court are at risk of being displaced once again since the space will be converted into a parking lot.

This begs the question of whether these “development plans” are truly for the benefit of the community or are merely ways for developers and businesses to capitalize on the university.

In light of this, last March 12, the “UP Not For Sale Network” was launched, consisting of various organizations namely, the USC, Shopping Center Association, UP Academic Workers Union, UP Workers Alliance, Movement for Democratic Governance, and Local College Councils. The network calls against the commercialization of DiliMall and pushes for the prioritizing of the UP Community.

DiliMall is not just the issue

DiliMall is not the first time the UP community has faced commercialization on campus. In an article by the Philippine Collegian, USC Councilor and Community Rights and Welfare Head Kristian Mendoza claimed that DiliMall is part of the implementation of the UP Master Development Plan (MDP), a land use policy approved by the Board of Regents in 2014 aiming to “proactively and systematically” develop UP’s land assets.

Before this, the UP Administration had already begun developing idle lands of the university, approving Ayala Land’s bid to convert 37.5 hectares of land into an information and technology hub in 2006—the UP Ayala Technohub.

The UP Integrated School (UPIS) community is familiar with this issue, as the old Grades 7-10 Building was replaced with the UP Town Center in 2013 by the same developer. From our 8-hectare land along Katipunan Avenue, we were moved to a building built and donated by the Ayala Corporation, a 5-structure facility with a main 4-story building, where the Narra Residence Hall once stood. The new 7-10 Building was budgeted at P180-million, from which P40-million was allotted for upgrades to the Grades 3-6 Building.

Only 10 years later, the Grades 7-12 Building is in a state of downfall, proving to be a great inconvenience and safety hazard to the UPIS community. During the Academic Year (A.Y.) 2022-2023, grades 3-12 students had to share the 3-6 Building since the structural integrity of the 7-12 Building was still being assessed. In A.Y. 2023-2024, although the 7-12 Building was cleared for use, parts of the building have been barricaded due to the degraded structure resulting in longer detours when moving from classroom to classroom and restricted movement among students, teachers, and staff.

The new Gyud Food Hub, which opened in December 2022, posed similar concerns as the development of DiliMall with failing to prioritize UP vendors that have long served the community. In this case, vendors displaced from the Main Library received a handwritten note from President Concepcion assuring them slots in the new facility. However, contrary to the administration’s promise, these vendors were not granted a space in the hub.

Moreover, the implementation of these establishments serves to exacerbate class disparity in the university by focusing on businesses catering to higher-income consumers that exclude students and lower-income community members. Again, the firms affected by the 2018 fire incident in the Shopping Center are still grappling with getting proper spaces allocated among them where established businesses have taken precedence over them.

Additionally, vendors and business owners are not the only ones being displaced by UP’s development plans, but as well as its residents. Homes and residences were demolished and claimed in accordance with the UP MDP. Some of the affected communities were Pook Village C, residents located at the UP Arboretum in 2020, and farmers from Pook Aguinaldo in 2021. These communities and families have been residing in the said areas for decades without any issues, only for them to be evicted from their homes; their livelihoods taken away to give space for “sustainable” infrastructure projects, without proper plans for relocation.

This further demonstrates how commercialization discriminates against marginalized individuals within the UP Community and society.

Additionally, the commercialization in UP Diliman may lead to the phase-out of small local businesses and vendors that have long been an integral part of the community. This greatly affects not only their livelihood but also the culture and diversity of the university’s environment.

Concerns and detractors from the UP community continue to rise towards this issue as stakeholders of the community are negatively affected and neglected by the university. Examples of affected sectors are dormitories, classrooms, and faculty buildings, all of which are experiencing problems with their space, functionality, and facilities.

It is important to maintain and improve the academic environments of UP as this will keep the university’s name, provide equal learning opportunities, liaise with the communities, and secure student wellbeing. These areas are fundamental in the institution for they facilitate learning and contribute towards its success as a top-ranked higher learning institution. To uphold the eminence that characterizes UP, we need to give priority to the conservation and upgrading of academic spaces.

Commercialization for who?

The university insists that converging with the private sector is beneficial as income generated from these rented spaces can be directed to academic and community needs. However, based on the 2016 audit report by the Commission of Audit, it is revealed that Ayala Land Inc. has 209.2-million pesos worth of unpaid obligations to UP. The amount comprises underpayments in rent income and late interest payments for the spaces at UP Technohub and UP Town Center. This raises the question as to why the university continues to commercialize its land when the previous corporation failed to keep up with its lease agreements.

Nevertheless, the university is still in dire need of other means of income. Government funding shortages can be pointed as to why the university insists on commercializing its land assets. Despite the fact that UP’s 2024 budget increased by P508-million, amounting to P24.771-billion this year, 80% of the funds were allocated for the university’s infrastructure projects. Sectors such as utility and maintenance incurred a P1.3-billion cut, and the budget for university operations was reduced for the new budgetary focus. According to an article by the Philippine Collegian, even if the funds for infrastructure were excluded, UP still suffered a P873-million cut. Additionally, P943-million will be cut for the provision of higher education services—which may result in fewer resources allocated to quality education for students. Taking all of this into account, it can be understood why commercialization may appeal to UP—as the university is getting increasingly pressured by almost all sides of its community to take action for its funding shortfalls.

Even so, our integrity as a public education and service institution must come first. It must be emphasized that UP serves as the nation’s model for quality education, and when we allow commercialization and privatization to be fostered within our institution, it may invite other educational institutions in the country to also be dependent on for-profit provisions. Reinforcing this notion, the presence of privatized businesses as stakeholders in the university may greatly influence university decisions, academic programs, and student policies.

In the end, UP must decide between prioritizing the community's interests or pursuing commercialization at the expense of its constituents. However, we’ve experienced the effects of this firsthand: the building we’ve sacrificed for profit forced us to settle for our current building–one that is deteriorating, crumbling piece by piece. We must ask ourselves: are we going to let this happen again? If the university chooses to commercialize its spaces for funding, attention, and care for its students and community must still be sustained.

Therefore, we need to oppose the commercialization of spaces and services in our university, assert our right to quality basic academic spaces and student facilities, stand with the vendors, employees, and families affected, and call on the administration to negotiate better terms with business partners—terms that put the benefit and interest of the UP community first. Furthermore, it is important to stress the need for more funding from the government to be able to run UP’s essential activities and programs successfully. We should come together to protect the good name of our institution and meet its responsibility to the UP community and the Filipino people.

So, I have been busy making poor monetary choices again, in which I now own two different types of tablets specifically for art (ONE WAS VERY MUCH ON SALE, THE OTHER HAD A 50 BUCK COUPON, BOTH GOOD REVIEWS), and the first tablet I bought, that's honestly just a way of adding a touchscreen to a computer to me, cause like. It's a sensor pad? Well, it's proving that I can't mentally make myself apply a lot of pressure to technology, which my younger self with a ruined dsi touch screen would gape at. I have also gotten all my shelving units up! Not sure if they're staying where they are, or if I'm gonna move them around again, but I do know two that are staying where they are, mainly cause I am /not/ lifting that shelf all the way back up to chest level to take it back down again. Nuh uh, no ma'am, it will not be done. It's also gotten all my collectibles on it already, which has proven that I need to devote more of my budget to the Twins than Screamer. My frenemesis would be delighted to see my failure to my simpees.

Work has been better! Still hot, but we've slowed /way/ down, which means my supervisor has been letting me goof off on my phone or writing, cause we physically can't work too hard in the heat, but we also have no orders anyway, so... And because we've been able to get paid Not Working, I have gotten back into a werewolf story I started writing months ago! I'm setting it up one shot style rn, and posting the chapters as my brain accepts my pleading for their creation, but I also intend to make it a full and proper story once I've worked all the one shots out. I will openly admit to it being complete self service, cause I want a best friend who's 8 feet tall, fluffy, and has a crappy sense of humor. And is a cuddle monster, though that one is mainly cause I love glomming full force onto my people and displaying my awkward affection. I'm like a peacock, but instead of flaring tail feathers, I hug people in front of other people, whilst not actually really knowing socially accepted norms for hugging friends, tbh.

I also went through and completely reorganized my phones gallery, and got a very stupid laugh outta it. I have 461 transformers related pictures, and almost 400 writing prompts. Just. Saved on my phone. If I ever lose this sim card my writing career that i don't actually have will be over. On another other note semi related, I have been asked to design a friends tattoo! I don't know if I mentioned that in my last ask. He asked me to draw him a dragon to get tattooed, which, to be fair, dragons are among one of the very scant things I can draw well reliably, but also, dragon proportions curled into a ball sleeping are kicking my ass, and I am debating getting out my giant sketchpad to be able to completely control every tiny eetsy beetsy detail, cause my close friend wants me to do this thing that will permanently be on his body, and I really desperately don't wanna mess it up... Cause like. No one has ever asked me to ///draw/// for them before. I've gotten asked to paint, or do some small stuff with watercolors, but never /drawing/. And he knows I love dragons, it's part of why he asked. I just. It's a thing that happened that made me really happy, like hide in my pillow crying happy tears happy.

And then, on the fifth, I found an exactly 8 year old video of my childhood dog that we had to put down... it was from the summer before he was put down, which happened during the school year. He had been all that I'd had growing up, so, it hit kinda hard seeing something of him that moved. Even after 8 years, I still cry every time I think about him. He was the best dog any little kid could've ever been raised with, and probably helped boost my immune system against my allergies to boot, hehe. I cried for like, two hours, cause it was a video taken 7/5/2015. And, I thought I had lost all my images of him. It was a happy thing, just. A very sad type of happy. I wish I could tell him that I did love him, even if I didn't wanna lay on the ground and cuddle like he preferred. He was a dog that was born old, haha, never wanted to play or bark, he just wanted to lay on you and be loved. I was always running around on imaginary adventures though, but I did love him. If I was upset, he was my safe place. I promise this is a happy thing, it's just that I'm gonna be legally allowed to drink soon, and sometimes I forget that it's been so long since I got to see him. Especially cause sometimes, I still have dreams about playing with him in our backyard, right next to a giant pine tree covered in cicada sheds, laughing as he dug a little groove to lay in under the old rusted out trampoline. He was the most patient, tolerant dog, and it's because of him and the cat he raised with me that I'm not afraid of so much anymore. Ma and dad weren't there when we had him, but... I'll admit to giving them up forever if it meant I got to have him back

~Smooch

Hello there Smooch~

Sleeping babee dragon sounds so cute! I've never designed a tattoo, so I can only imagine the pressure (and of course the touching part of him asking you to draw his tattoo design).

Interestingly enough I too spent a loooong period of time where drawing was a dragon-only zone. I think it was back in like middle school? If you're struggling with a traditional four-legged two winged dragon, have you considered another type? There's Asian Lung dragons, Wyverns, Wyrms, or even a Quetzalcoatl style dragon that can all be very cool and might be easier for you to draw as a sleepy loaf. If your friend doesn't have a strong preference of course.

How exciting, on sale art supplies. It's kinda hard to decide sometimes between art supplies and if you're new to it, it's not a BAD idea to try multiple different types and/or brand names until you find what you like. I own two different art devices, one Wacom Intuos bought in High School and a Huion art monitor bought like four years ago. I was a traditional artist at the time I bought the Intuos tablet, so I quickly found that I prefer drawing on an actual screen I can look at instead of drawing on a tablet, BUT I had to try the tablet first to know that. What that all amounts up to is I hope you like one if not both of them ^J^ It's good to hear that your job is calming down. I'm sure that you're enjoying having the down time to work on your creative pursuits. At the risk of sounding too much like a hippie art teacher, I say it's very important to have some sort of creative outlet in your life. So it's wonderful to hear that you're getting to write on your werewolf story. I send you my best wishes that your muse stays nice and cooperative for the whole process hehe.

And lastly: The bittersweet memory of a good pet that has passed is something that I feel blessed to have as well. I hope that you can continue to enjoy your memories of a good animal without being bogged down in the sadness of their passing.

It's good to hear from you again Smooch, glad to hear you are doing well~

WordPress Hosting Guide

WordPress has changed the way we make and manage websites by providing an easy-to-use platform for bloggers, businesses, and everyone in between. But even the most experienced web users may find it hard to navigate WordPress hosting. It's easy to find a hosting service that fits your needs, whether you want shared hosting or a private server. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the complexities of WordPress hosting, empowering you to make informed decisions regarding your website's online visibility.

What does WordPress hosting mean?

WordPress hosting is a type of web hosting designed for WordPress sites. It works best with WordPress blogs.

Various hosting companies provide diverse WordPress hosting packages. These typically include convenient features such as automatic updates, custom WordPress themes, and one-click installation of WordPress, relieving you of the need to handle these tasks manually.

You don't have to sign up for WordPress hosting just because you have a WordPress site. It's fine to host the site normally. However, the best way to make your WordPress site run faster, safer, and available all the time is to connect it to a WordPress hosting plan.

WordPress hosting advantages 

Using WordPress hosting for your website can help it in many ways. These are the seven most important:

1. Faster: WordPress hosting can make your website faster and better at what it does. One reason for this is that WordPress hosting companies use fast computers that are set up to work best with WordPress sites.

2. Security: Most WordPress hosting companies offer extra security features like scanning for malware and finding intrusions. This can help you relax because you'll know that your site is safe from possible risks.

3. Scalability: If your website grows, you might need to upgrade your hosting plan to handle the extra traffic and data storage needs. However, it's easy to change your WordPress hosting plan to fit your needs.

4. Better uptime: WordPress hosting companies can ensure that your website is online more often. This means that people will be able to access your website more often, which could lead to more visits and sales.

5. Better customer service: If you host your website with a WordPress hosting business, you will be able to get better customer service. What this means is that you can get help from the server company if you need it.

6. More freedom: WordPress hosting gives you more freedom to pick the plugins, styles, and other features you want for your website. When you use WordPress hosting, it's easy to add or remove features without making changes to the whole website.

7. Saves money: WordPress hosting can help you save money on your hosting fees. For this reason, WordPress hosting companies often give discounts and other deals to people who host their websites with them.

8. Better SEO: WordPress hosting gives you access to many SEO tools and resources that can help your website's search engine optimization (SEO).

9. More features: Many WordPress hosts offer extra features, like installing famous plugins and themes with just one click, that can make running your website easier.

Tips for picking a WordPress hosting service

No matter which way you look, a WordPress host is advertising its service as the best one for you. Do your research and consider all of your choices before making a decision.

In particular, when picking a WordPress hosting plan, you should think about things like speed, security, and customer service.

1. Performance

If you want your site to work at its best, think about its uptime. If your site can't be reached, it can have bad effects like less traffic and customers leaving. Make sure that the host you choose guarantees that their service will be up at least 99% of the time.

It should also have a content delivery network (CDN) and built-in caching, which are both great for making pages load faster.

You could also test your site's speed yourself by using one of the free WordPress hosts or getting your money back. Tools like PageSpeed Insights and Pingdom can help you determine whether a host really speeds up your site.

2. Scalability

Scalability can affect your site's bottom line in the same way that speed can.

If you are a new website owner, choose the cheapest hosting option. That's fine. This type of WordPress hosting might not be good for you if your site gets a lot of visitors. Your plan might need to give your site more resources as it grows.

One example is that you might have an outage if your WordPress site can't handle a lot of visitor traffic.

So, pick a web host that can help your business grow and let you add more computers as needed to handle more traffic.

Check to see if the host offers plans that can be changed or plans that go above shared hosting, like VPS hosting. So, you won't have to move web hosts when the number of visitors grows.

3. Security

Security is another important factor to consider when picking a WordPress web host. To ensure smooth operation, you must keep your data and the data of your customers safe.

Many WordPress hosts offer strong security measures to keep your data safe from various cyberattacks and lower the risk.

Some of these are:

SSL certificates

Web Application Firewall, or WAF

Secure shell (SSH) access

DDoS protection

Malware scanner

4. Prices

Since each WordPress host has a different price range, it's best to look at a few and compare plans and prices to find the best one for you. Some web hosts, for example, charge more in the long run, so as you grow, things can quickly get pricey.

Also, watch out for any hidden fees. Some hosts charge extra for extra protection or for exceeding your bandwidth limit.

If you're looking for a web host, look for deals that let you save money while you try their services. 

5. Customer support

When you run a WordPress site, you must remember good support. This is especially important if you're new. Also, things do break down, so it's good to know that your friend will be there for you if something goes wrong. So, pick a web host like MyResellerHome that has live customer support 24/7. 

Prior to committing to a hosting company, it's crucial to assess their support system. Look for providers that offer multiple avenues for communication, such as phone and email, ensuring you have a variety of options to reach out for assistance.

Also, you can check out the host's support team on your own to see how quickly and well they can help you. Talk to them in real-time and write down how long it takes for them to answer if they offer live chat support. 

Types of WordPress hosting services

Shared WordPress hosting

Shared WordPress hosting is the least expensive way to store your website and is best for small sites or people who are just starting with websites. 

When you rent or get a small part of a single computer from a web host, this is called shared hosting. This means that you and other website owners share the server's resources.

If one site uses fewer of the shared resources, it could slow down your site. This is one of the problems with shared hosting plans.

Another con is that you won't be able to change how the server works—if you use a shared server, you won't be able to make the hosting setting fit your needs.

Virtual private server (VPS) WordPress hosting

A hypervisor divides one physical server into several virtual servers in this type of hosting. There will be a part of the server that is only for your site, so you won't have to share bandwidth and RAM with other users. This makes performance and protection better.

When you use VPS WordPress hosting, the rules are the same, but each site will run on WordPress. This means that the server environment will be set up to work best with WordPress sites, giving you better speed and security than a regular VPS server.

Dedicated WordPress hosting

When you pay for dedicated WordPress hosting, you get a computer all to yourself. You won't have to share disk space, memory, or CPU with other people, and you'll be able to see everything on the server as root.

If you get a dedicated hosting plan, your site will run faster, be safer, and be online more often because you won't have to share resources with other people like you do on shared servers.

Managed WordPress hosting

When you use managed WordPress hosting, your web host takes care of all the back-end management of your WordPress site. Things like maintenance, updates, protection, and backups are part of this.

Managed WordPress hosting plans offer faster site speeds, more security, 24/7 customer support, and more specialized features.

Who should use hosting for WordPress?

When it comes to CMS platforms, WordPress is the most famous. WordPress lets you make any website, like a blog, an e-commerce site, or something else. In order to make your website with WordPress, WordPress hosting is the best option. For these reasons, a WordPress hosting plan is the best way to make sure that WordPress sites run quickly and safely.

Conclusion

Picking the right WordPress hosting company is very important for the growth of your site. You can make an informed choice that fits your needs by thinking about things like speed, security, support, and scalability. Make sure that the hosting you choose for your WordPress site meets its needs, whether it's shared hosting, controlled hosting, or VPS hosting. As your website changes and grows, remember to look at and improve your hosting plan on a regular basis. To find the best hosting for your WordPress project, take the time to learn about and compare the different choices. Be smart about the choices you make to build a strong online reputation.

How to Prepare Your Business Books for Year-End

As the year comes close, the time has come to bring the finance of your business in order. Whether you are the masters of a small business, freelancer, or a limited company, it is necessary to prepare your books for the end of the year. This helps you complete the tax time limit, avoid punishment and understand how your business has performed in the year.

In this blog, we will walk to you through a clear and simple way to prepare your business books for the end of the year. With the right steps, you can save time, reduce stress, and handle a better handle on your finance.

1. Gather all your financial records

The first step is to collect all your financial documents. It also includes:

• sales invoice

• Expenditure receipts

• Bank details

• Credit Card Statement

• loan documents

• payroll record

• VAT returns (if registered)

Make sure everything is complete and organized. If you are using accounting software such as Xero or Quickbooks, double-check that all your transactions are recorded correctly.

2. Cover your bank accounts

Bank harmony means that transactions in your accounting system match your bank statement. This helps to ensure that there are no missing or duplicate entries.

To cover your accounts:

• Match every payment and deposit

• Fix any error or difference

• Ensure that all bank fees or interests have been recorded

This step is important because it reflects the correct cash status of your business.

3. Review income and expenses

Go through your income and expenditure accounts to check for accuracy. ask yourself:

• Has all sales recorded?

• Are there any missing receipts?

• Are personal expenses mixed with business people? Make sure all expenses are classified correctly (e.g., office supplies, travel, marketing). This will help you claim all the tax deductions you’re entitled to.

4. Check for outstanding challans and bills

See your accounts attainable (what customers are outstanding) and account payable (what you want to give to suppliers). Follow any unpaid invoice and make sure you pay any outstanding bill before the year ends.

If you have challans that are unlikely to pay, you may need to write them as a bad loan — speak with your accountant about it.

5. Count your inventory (if applied)

If your business sells physical product, you will need to count an inventory. Compare your actual stock what is recorded in your system and pay attention to any difference.

It helps:

• Update your cost of goods sold (COGS)

• Identify slow running or old stock

• Prepare more accurately for future orders

6. Review real estate and depreciation

Fixed assets are items such as computers, vehicles, or office furniture that own your business. Check your records to ensure this:

• All assets are listed

• Settled or sold property is removed

• Depreciation is properly recorded

Your accountant can help calculate depreciation, which reduces your taxable income.

7. Back up your financial data

It is always smart to keep backup of your accounting data. If you are using a cloud accounting software, this can happen automatically. If not, make a safe backup you have:

• Accounting files

• spreadsheet

• receipts and documents

Store them on external drive or safe cloud service.

8. Prepare for your accountant or HMRC

Now that your books are in order, make sure that you have everything ready to send your accountant or HMRC. This can include:

Year-end trial balance

Profit and loss report

Balance sheet

VAT and payroll records

Having everything organised will help your accountant file your tax returns faster — and may even reduce their fees.

9. Review and reflect

Year-end is a great time to reflect your commercial performance. ask yourself:

• Do you meet your financial goals?

• What were your biggest expenses?

• Can you cut cost next year?

• Which development opportunities can you detect?

Use your year end report to make better planning for the coming year.

final thoughts

Preparing your business books for the end of the year can be a big task, but it is not stressful. With a little plan and correct equipment, you can close the year smoothly and get ready for the new.

If you need help with bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, or end accounts of the year, then stewart accounting is to support you here. We work with small businesses, contractors, landlords and more — provide clear advice and expert services to help your business grow.
