Bookkeeping involves recording financial transactions and maintaining accurate financial records, while accounting involves interpreting, analyzing, and summarizing financial data to provide insights for decision-making.
It depends on the complexity of your business and your comfort level with bookkeeping tasks. While some small businesses may handle bookkeeping internally, others may benefit from outsourcing to a professional bookkeeper or accountant to ensure accuracy and compliance.
There are various accounting software options available, such as QuickBooks, Xero, and FreshBooks, which streamline bookkeeping processes. Alternatively, you can use spreadsheets or hire a professional bookkeeper who may use their preferred software.
It’s recommended to reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and other financial accounts regularly, ideally on a monthly basis. This helps identify discrepancies, errors, or fraudulent activities promptly and ensures the accuracy of your financial records.
