What is Accounting and Bookkeeping?

Accounting and bookkeeping are two critical components of business financial management. While both functions are vital to maintaining a company’s financial health, they differ in scope and responsibility.

  • Bookkeeping services primarily involve keeping track of financial transactions such as sales, purchases, receipts, and payments. A bookkeeper ensures that these records are accurate and up-to-date.

  • Accounting provides a broader scope, where an accountant interprets, classifies, and summarises financial data to create reports like financial statements, tax returns, and audits. These documents are crucial for business decisions and long-term planning.

Having a clear understanding and proper execution of both practices ensures compliance with tax regulations and provides insights that help you make better business decisions.
