Accounting and bookkeeping

Our accounting and bookkeeping services involve recording and classifying the financial transactions of your company. In addition, we analyze, review, report, and interpret financial information for your company. It starts with understanding the basics – assets, liabilities, and equities.

Before setting up your bookkeeping system, it is important to understand the basic accounts. Assets are what the company owns such as accounts receivables (what is received from suppliers) and inventory. Liabilities are what the company owes such as bank and business loans, mortgages, accounts payable (what is owed to suppliers), and any other debt on the books. Equity is the ownership the business owner and any investors have in the company.

Balancing the books

Balancing the books correctly is a critical aspect of maintaining financial peace of mind at your company. It involves keeping careful track of all of these items and to be sure the transactions that deal with assets, liabilities, and equity are recorded correctly and in the right place. There is an accounting equation we use to ensure the books always balance. This means that everything the business owns is balanced against claims against the business. Liabilities are claims based on what you owe vendors and lenders. Owners of the business have claims against the remaining assets.
