Frequently-Asked Questions About Accounting
- 1. Can I do my own accounting?
- 2. How can an accountant save me money?
- 3. What is the difference between accounting and bookkeeping?
- 4. What accounting records do I need to keep?
Accounting can be a difficult and strenuous task. There are a lot of standards and laws that your financial records must adhere to. Furthermore, as an accountant, you must meet deadlines all year long.
You can perform your own accounting, but it’s usually advised that you familiarise yourself with the procedure before trying to do it. Doing your own accounting rather than consulting a professional can be more expensive and time-consuming.
One of the most crucial aspects of a business, especially in the beginning, is its finances.
While you spend your time busily managing the other areas of your business, an accountant will keep your finances up-to-date. You can make more informed decisions if your accounts are organised and up-to-date.
Making more informed decisions helps you to steer clear of costly errors.
A competent accountant will assess your company’s profitability, ensure that you are on course for maximum growth, and make impactful recommendations.
The responsibilities of an accountant and a bookkeeper usually overlap because bookkeeping is the first step in the accounting process. However, bookkeeping deals with the recording and organisation of financial data, whereas accounting focuses on analysing and presenting this data.
Your accounting records must include the following information:
- Information about the assets your company owns
- All the money received and spent by the company
- Stocks that your company owned at the end of the financial year
- Debts that your company owes or is owed
- The stocktakings you conducted to calculate the stock figure
- All goods sold and bought, as well as who you bought and sold them to
You must also keep track of any additional financial documents, calculations, and data required to prepare and file your annual accounts and Company Tax Return.
This includes records of:
- All money received by the company, for example, invoices, sales books and contracts
- All money spent by the company, for example, delivery notes, receipts, orders
- Any other documents that may be relevant, for example, bank statements
