What Is An Accountant?
Accounting is how your business records, organises and analyses its financial information.
With chartered accounting services, you can insight into:
- Profitability
- Cash Flow
- Accurate value of your assets and liabilities
- Opportunities for improving business performance
The Accounting Process
Firstly, the accounting process begins with the recording of business transactions. Activities and events that involve your business’ money are put in a general ledger.
This is part of bookkeeping and is the first stage. The general ledger contains all the financial transactions within a business.
Steps in the accounting process are:
Transactions
In the first instance collect invoices, bank or credit statements, and receipts from business transactions.
Post Journal Entries
Journal entries contain 3 parts: when it happened, what it was for, and the cost.
Double-entry accounting is the most common method. It records every transaction in two accounts: the origin of the money and where it will go.
Single-entry accounting is used occasionally, which records only expenses and revenue.
At the end of this process, post the journal entries to the general ledger.
Prepare an Unadjusted Trial Balance
Next, at the end of the reporting period, calculate the total balance for all accounts. This is a safeguarding measure undertaken periodically to ensure your books are balanced.
Prepare Adjusting Entries
Moreover, at the end of the period, prepare adjusting entries when required. For example, in instances of accruals and deferrals.
Accruals are recorded when transactions take place, and when they are paid. Deferrals are delays in the recognition of an accounting transaction to a future accounting period.
Prepare Financial Statements
Lastly, utilise the information you gather prepare financial statements. These are reports that summarise the financial information of your business.
