What is Bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is the recording of financial transactions by an individual or organization.
The financial transactions include purchases and sales, receipts and payments.

A bookkeeper is responsible for ensuring the day to day transactions are recorded properly.

A bookkeeper should not be confused with an accountant.
An accountant is a provider of accounting: the measurement, disclosure and provision of financial information that enables decisions to be made about allocation of resources. An accountant can provide advice, a bookkeeper cannot.

By employing a bookkeeper you can save time on doing this task yourself and save money as the information provided to your accountant will already be in order, taking them less time to go through.
