If you are handling your own small business and doing everything on your own, it is important to create a solid and accurate, up-to-date bookkeeping because it is the backbone of any successful small business. No matter what type of business you operate, an understanding of bookkeeping best practices is vital and essential for keeping your business running smoothly, now and in the future.
There are different bookkeeping methods – manual vs. online.
Manual Bookkeeping is the “traditional” way of documenting and organizing your business’ financial records. You might use a pen-and-paper ledger, or common programs like Microsoft Excel or Word to record income, expenses, interest, and any of the other cash flow items that appear in a financial report. This method is best if you prefer a hands-on approach although disadvantage is that it can also be time consuming, and has more room for human error.
Online Bookkeeping Method uses online software that takes care of most of the calculations and data entry automatically for you. You just have to input all data and you can get valuable information in one click. You may use programs like QuickBooks cloud accounting software to help you track your income much faster than the traditional one.
Choose whichever works best for you. What matters most is the all information you put is accurate so as to produce accurate results too. With correct information, you will be able to understand the status of your business whether it is thriving or not and make appropriate decisions.
