Frequently Asked Questions
What is bookkeeping, and why is it important for businesses?
Bookkeeping is a record of all the business transactions, that is either of income or expense in nature. It maintains income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and equity but accurately and up-to-date.

- Single-entry system: A simple system where each transaction is recorded only once, either as income or expense. It’s suitable for small businesses with minimal transactions.
- Double-entry system: A more complex system where each transaction affects at least two accounts, with equal and opposite entries (debits and credits). This system ensures accuracy and is widely used by businesses of all sizes.
