Why You Need Bookkeeping

Plenty of seasoned entrepreneurs don’t quite know how bookkeeping differs from accounting. Bookkeeping is the act of recording your business’s daily transactions in a consistent way, and compiling them into financial statements. Record keeping and preparation fall under bookkeeping. On the other hand, broader things like designing a system, and analyzing/verifying information is related to accounting. The processes that comprise bookkeeping are key, because they keep your business running smoothly day-to-day, and they prepare your business for the higher level strategy work. Bookkeeping helps you to:

Monitor the progress of your business

Prepare your financial statements

Identify sources of your income

Keep track of your deductible expenses

Without bookkeeping and tax-ready financial statements, you would struggle to understand the financial health of your business, make important strategic financial decisions, and working with your accountant would be extremely difficult.
