one entry is made for each transaction in your books. These transactions are usually
maintained in a cash book to track incoming revenue and outgoing expenses.

bookkeeping is not cash-based. Transactions are entered when a debt is incurred or
revenue is earn.
Proper bookkeeping gives companies a reliable measure of their performance. It also provides
information to make general strategic decisions and a benchmark for its revenue and income
goals. In short, once a business is up and running, spending extra time and money on maintaining
proper records is critical.

earn. Many small companies don’t actually hire full-time accountants to work for them because of
the cost. Instead, small companies generally hire a bookkeeper or outsource the job to a
professional firm. If you are a small business, less robust methods of bookkeeping will

exits your accounts, they are recognized in the books.

recognized when it is earned and expenses are recorded
when they are incurred. The actual cash does not have to
enter or exit for the transaction to be recorded. You can
mark your sales and purchases made on credit right away.
Both a cash and accrual basis can work with single- or double-
entry bookkeeping. However, the single-entry method is the
foundation for cash-based bookkeeping. Transactions are
recorded only when cash is actually received or paid. On the other
