As an Expat Business Owner, You Find Yourself in A Unique Situation
You’ve worked hard to get where you’re at and it’s no small feat creating a successful business away from your homeland. Now you’re serving clients, making a difference, and on the right trajectory forward in a place that’s become your second home.
You want the freedom to focus on growing your business and serving your clients to the best of your ability–not get caught up in the tedious administrative work of crunching numbers.
But, Are You Worried About Keeping Track of Your Records And Balancing the Constantly Changing Ghanaian Tax Laws and Fiscal Regime?
You know what direction you’d like to take your business in, but you’re getting held back by the never-ending number of regulations you must manage. At the same time, you’re still getting to know the new country that’s become your home–whether you’re brand new or have lived here for many years. All of this is coming together to limit what you’re capable of, and you could use some support. When it comes to accounting, have you faced any of the following challenges as an expat business owner in Ghana?
-
Do you feel like you have enough on your
plate serving your clients? And the last thing you need is to also liaise with statutory and regulatory authorities -
Are you navigating a language barrier
and new customs? And the number of complexities in the liaising and regulations processes are too much to handle - Do you know that you have inefficient processes that are creating bottlenecks? But you worry that they’re set in stone at this point and will be too hard to streamline.
- Are you trying to understand the legal regulations around running a business? But the laws are different than what you’re used to and it’s stressful trying to keep up
- Are you trying to keep track of all your records manually? And you worry that you’ll lose track of a critical document (or more!) that could get your business shut down
- Do you feel like your business is finally gaining momentum? But in the back of your mind you worry about making a mistake that could ruin it all
