What does bookkeeping involve for a small business?
Bookkeeping is the routine recording of financial transactions, including sales, purchases, receipts, and payments. It involves categorizing each entry, reconciling accounts against bank statements, and keeping organized records. Accurate bookkeeping produces the data used to prepare financial statements, file taxes, and monitor cash flow throughout the year.
What is the difference between single-entry and double-entry bookkeeping?
Single-entry bookkeeping records each transaction once, much like a checkbook, and suits very small operations. Double-entry records every transaction in two accounts as a debit and a credit, keeping the books balanced. Double-entry gives a fuller picture and catches errors, making it standard for most businesses.
What transactions should you record in your bookkeeping each month?
Record all income from sales or services, expenses like rent, supplies, and utilities, payroll, loan payments, and any owner contributions or withdrawals. Note the date, amount, category, and payment method for each. Reconciling these entries against bank and card statements keeps the records accurate and complete.
