It is easy to get caught up in your day-to-day business activities and forget that you need to keep accurate records.

That’s where accounting comes in. It helps to keep you organized so that the information you need is readily available. There is a difference though, between bookkeeping and accounting.

Accounting Helps to Make Sense of Your Business

Bookkeeping is concerned with the administrative and transactional aspects of your business. Once the transactions are recorded by a bookkeeper, accounting helps you to make sense of the information.

It helps you to make decisions and is an important tool to help you understand what is going on in your business. Accounting records help to ensure that your cash flow is positive and alert you early on that there might be a problem. You can then use that information to change course or make arrangements to ensure that your business has the resources it needs.

The IRS Requires Your Accounting Records

The IRS is also interested in your accounting records. They need schedules to support your tax returns as well as access to financial statements that determine the profitability of your business. Without a robust accounting system, you will struggle to satisfy the IRS’s demands for information.

The Banks and Investors Need Your Financial Statements

When you require a business loan or go looking for investors, the first thing they’ll be interested in is looking at your financial reports. These are compiled using your accounting system.

No records, no money!

Management Accounts Help You to Manage Your Business

Your accounting system also helps to keep you accountable. The timely recording of transactions and their effect on your profitability and cash flow will determine the success or failure of your business.

By recording your actual figures against a budget or projection, you’ll be able to measure your results and see whether your strategies are working.
