Business Bookkeeping For Fun and Profit!
What is it that keeps everything humming along smoothly in a business? Clearly there are many factors, and no one of them can take all the credit. We know, though, that without good business bookkeeping, things fall apart fast. Let’s take a look at what bookkeepers do, and why that holds any business operation together.
It’s All About the Money
The simplest way to put it is that business bookkeeping is about tracking the movements of money through an organization. Bookkeepers are responsible for maintaining a company’s ledgers, the records of all of its transactions and accounts. Whenever a customer pays for a product, they note the form and amount of that payment. Whenever the company buys supplies, likewise. They record all movements of money in or out of the organization. These practices ensure accurate account balances, and they help identify ways the company can increase profitability.
Bookkeepers play a vital role in ensuring that a company knows where its money is, where it’s going, and where it comes from. Along with all of their main functions, they help business owners with investment and tax matters. They do this by running calculations to determine the depreciating value of certain assets. They aren’t tax professionals, though. That role is reserved for accountants. There is some overlap between the roles of bookkeeping and accounting, but the latter is more analytical, rather than focused on maintaining the records themselves.
Money Isn’t Everything, But You Need It.
They say that money can’t buy happiness, which is true. What’s also true, though, is that nobody is content with poorly-managed finances. In fact, failing to control your money is a common road to personal disaster. Careful business bookkeeping minimizes the risk of such a catastrophe. By implementing diligent financial management practices, a good bookkeeper keeps a business operating smoothly and transparently. It takes a huge load off the shoulders of business owners and managers when they know that the money they need is accounted for.
