What is Accounts & Bookkeeping?

Accounts & Bookkeeping is the systematic recording, organizing, and managing of all your financial transactions — from sales and purchases to payments and receipts. It forms the backbone of your business's financial health, allowing you to understand profits, cash flow, liabilities, and assets in real-time.
