Need Help With Your Bookkeeping?
An important part of any business is the company’s bookkeeping efforts. The type of bookkeeping system you use is really up to you as long as you keeps a detailed record of all your expenses and income. In almost all cases, there are no special requirements for keeping your records. On the other hand, every business has different kinds of records it needs to keep in regards to taxes. Obviously, one of the most important questions you need to answer is what kind of records, or documents do you need to save?
Make sure you keep track of all your gross receipts, which is any kind of income your business received during the year. You also need to keep a detailed record of all your purchases, which are the products you buy to resell to your customers. They are not the same as the products you buy for your company to use for conducting business. Those are called expenses and you need to keep track of all of those as well. Save every receipt and make sure that they show the expense was for a business purpose.
There are many other types of expenses as well, including transportation, travel, entertainment and gift expenses, which can also be used as deductions, but you need to keep all the relevant documentation to prove these expenses.
Bookkeeping is no doubt a crucial part of any business, especially when it comes to tax time.
