What is bookkeeping and why is it important for my business?

Bookkeeping is the fundamental process of recording, organizing, and tracking the financial transactions of a business. It involves systematically documenting every financial activity such as sales, purchases, payments, and receipts. Accurate bookkeeping is crucial for understanding financial performance, managing cash flow, meeting legal and tax requirements, and making informed business decisions.

What's the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?

While often used interchangeably, bookkeeping and accounting are distinct functions. Bookkeeping is primarily concerned with the recording of financial data, while accounting involves the analysis and interpretation of that data to provide insights and support decision-making. Bookkeepers maintain accurate financial records, while accountants use those records to create financial statements and provide strategic advice.
