Balancing Your Books and Taking Advantage of Your Accounting

With the second quarter of the year behind us, now is the time to check your books, understand your books and make sure your accounting is in order! If you wait until the end of the year, you are waiting for a pile of work as well as the possibility of lost inventory, data, reports and more. Even worse, if you wait until the end of the year by then it is too late to implement any sort of tax planning strategies.

Many times business owners make the mistake and categorize bookkeeping, accounting and tax preparation all into one. They are not! One of the first things when going through your financial records is being able to differentiate between bookkeeping and accounting:

Bookkeeping focuses on keeping track of your financial transactions (sales, receipts, inventory, payments, purchases, earnings, etc.) and is the basis of accounting. It keeps a record of the day-to-day proceedings of an individual, business or organization, helping you run a clean and organized setup. When balancing your books, you are looking to subtract your liabilities from assets and have the results equal the equity in your business. Make sure to check for any errors if these do not balance out. If business is booming, the sum of your assets will be greater than the liabilities, increasing your company’s value or equity. This opens a door for new financing opportunities. Our bookkeeping services in Las Vegas are for companies all over the world.

Accounting takes the records from bookkeeping to create smart avenues to expand the knowledge of your business. It goes more in-depth into retrieving and sorting data, then summarizing and presenting it in reports and analyses. The information derived is then used to create estimates and project ideas for future improvements. It is a smart way to create strategies for your company’s financial health and expansion.

Some questions to ask yourself include:

– “Did I make more in this quarter than I did the last?”
– “What draws customers in and creates profit?”
– “Who is producing more results and less work for my business?”
– “Do I have enough money to expand or pursue a new business venture?”
