What is Bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is the process of recording all a business’s financial transactions in a structured format. While it was once done using ledger books, it’s now typically managed with spreadsheets or accounting software.
Effective bookkeeping involves more than listing income and expenses. It requires categorising transactions correctly, applying double-entry accounting, and accurately accounting for VAT, payroll, and other liabilities.
If you lack the experience or expertise, it’s wise to hire a professional to avoid costly mistakes.
Reconciling your Bank Account
Bookkeeping should also include reconciling your business bank account, which is particularly important for Limited Companies, as they are legally required to have a business account in the company’s name.
Bank reconciliation involves matching each entry in your bookkeeping ledger against the corresponding bank transactions. Items not yet processed through the bank are recorded as debtors or creditors.
Our expert accountants perform bank reconciliations daily, knowing exactly what to look for and how to handle it. For small businesses, however, this task can be time-consuming and overwhelming.
Bookkeeping Software
Many small businesses use bookkeeping software to manage their accounts. While software is a great tool if you understand double-entry bookkeeping, most small business owners do not, which can lead to a messy ledger.
Traditional accountants often charge clients for the time spent correcting entries in their bookkeeping software. That’s why at Oakstone Accountants, we handle all bookkeeping for our clients. This not only gives them more time to focus on their business but also saves them money in the long run.
Sending Invoices
The one part of bookkeeping we recommend business owners handle themselves is raising sales invoices and chasing payments.
No one knows your business better than you, so making sure invoices are sent and payments are collected on time is a worthwhile use of your time.
You can use any invoicing system you prefer and simply provide us with copies of your invoices and payment records.
