Running an accounting firm in Pakistan means holding a mental map of dozens of due dates — and updating it constantly as clients come and go. Miss one, and the cost lands on your client and your reputation.
The obligations that matter most
- Monthly sales tax returns — due mid-month for registered persons.
- Withholding statements — periodic FBR filings for tax deducted at source.
- Annual income tax returns — for individuals, AOPs and companies, each with their own dates.
- SECP annual returns and statutory filings — for registered companies.
Why spreadsheets eventually fail
A spreadsheet works when you have ten clients. At a hundred, a single missed row becomes a missed filing. The calendar lives in one person’s head, and when they’re on leave, the firm is exposed.
A better approach
Assign each client their obligations once, and let software calculate and watch the due dates. PracticePA colour-codes every deadline — upcoming, due, overdue — across your whole client base, so the calendar is never dependent on memory.
