Bookkeeping is the systematic recording, analysing, and interpreting of financial transactions. It forms the backbone of the accounting process, ensuring accuracy and facilitating insightful decision-making.
We adhere to fundamental principles that guide our bookkeeping practices. The principle of consistency demands that businesses follow the same accounting methods over periods, which ensures comparability of financial information. The principle of prudence requires recording expenses and liabilities as soon as possible, but revenues only when they are assured. This conservative approach ensures that we do not overstate financial health. The principle of accrual mandates recognising revenues and expenses when they are incurred, not when cash transactions occur, providing a more accurate financial picture. Objectivity emphasises the importance of unbiased and verifiable data based on evidence.
Financial statements are essential tools that provide a snapshot of a company’s financial position and performance. The three primary financial statements are:
Understanding these statements allows us to make informed decisions and maintain financial health. By meticulously managing each aspect of bookkeeping, from recording transactions to preparing financial statements, we ensure the accuracy and reliability of financial information.
