What bookkeeping records should your business keep?
- Firstly, limited company bookkeeping reduces costs by clarifying spending and determining whether those expenses actually benefit your business.
- Secondly, regularly reviewing financial data helps identify tax-saving opportunities before the year ends, lowering your tax bill.
- Furthermore, compliance with HMRC and Companies House greatly reduces the risk of submitting incorrect information.
- For instance, you wish you had more time to grow your business.
- You may also suspect that errors exist in your records.
- Moreover, the financial information you currently receive lacks sufficient insight, such as profit by product.
- Finally, past errors may leave you wanting peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your actual business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bookkeeping is essential for any business, but it is especially crucial for small businesses. Small businesses typically don’t have the same resources as larger ones, so they need to be extra careful with their finances. By keeping accurate records of their income and expenses, small businesses can avoid discrepancies and ensure they make sound financial decisions.
The most important aspect of bookkeeping is maintaining accurate records. This involves tracking all income and expenses, as well as any other financial transactions. Various bookkeeping services, software programmes, and accounting methods are available, so it’s essential to find one that best suits your business needs.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as different business owners will use various bookkeeping methods depending on their needs. However, one of the most common methods is double-entry bookkeeping. While slightly more complex, it provides a complete financial picture compared to single-entry bookkeeping and is increasingly manageable thanks to cloud software like QuickBooks, Xero, FreeAgent etc.
It’s hard to overstate the value of effective bookkeeping. Organising your financial records brings clarity, guiding your business’s day-to-day operations and informing your growth strategies. In fact, managing your own bookkeeping—or even hiring a friend—often leads to complications in the long run.
