Business Tips: Using forecasting to help your decision-making
Good-quality forecasting can be just as useful, giving you an informed view of the future of your business and finances. Read More…
In today's digital times, you're probably used to having unrivalled access to your financial numbers, key performance indicators (KPIs) and cashflow metrics. Without good bookkeeping, the speed and quality of your reporting can quickly fall down.
So, why is fast and accurate bookkeeping so important? And what are the main bookkeeping tasks that your business should be getting right?
The financial importance of good bookkeeping
Bookkeeping is a fundamental part of your financial process as a business. Without it, your accounting software has no financial data to work with, your FD doesn’t have the most current numbers, and your accountant can’t see the current financial health of the business.
Inputting your financial transaction into some form of record-keeping system is also a mandatory commitment if you’re a registered business
and paying goods and services or value-added tax. Bookkeeping is what provides you with a historic breadcrumb trail of your finances –
allowing you to track your cashflow, revenues and profits over a given period.
How to maximise your bookkeeping
So, bookkeeping is a vital part of your financial management. And the key to having your transactions recorded, available for reporting and accessible whenever you need them.
But how should the bookkeeping process work, in an ideal world? Let’s walk through the core bookkeeping steps and how you can get the most from this financial admin task.
