The Difference Between Bookkeeping and Accounting?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Accounting and bookkeeping are important functions in managing your business's finances. However, both processes support your business in different stages of the financial cycle.
 

Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping is more administrative and focuses on recording and organising the business's daily financial details and transactions. Bookkeeping is also more like a groundwork for the next step - accounting. The complexity of the bookkeeping system is often determined by the size of the company and the amount of daily, weekly, and monthly transactions. Your company's sales and purchases must be documented in the ledger, and some transactions require supporting documentation.
 

Accounting

Accounting is responsible for interpreting, analysing, reporting and summarising the financial data or transactions. Accounting will review and analyse the financial information recorded during the bookkeeping process and require bookkeeping's financial transaction records to prepare the financial statement. These analyses and reports will be needed for the business's audit and allow the business to conduct better future forecasting to make better financial decisions to ensure the business's stability and growth.
 

Overall, both bookkeeping and accounting complement each other. Organised financial records and correctly balanced finances from the bookkeeping process, combined with wise financial strategy from the accounting process will contribute directly to a company's long-term success.

Importance of Bookkeeping to the Business

  1. Comply legal requirements

    Under Singapore Companies Act and Income Tax Act, all companies in Singapore is required to prepare and keep a book of accounts. Failing to comply with the required Singapore financial reporting standards will result in fines and penalties.
     

  2. Track financial health

    Bookkeeping tracks all business transactions and financial activities. This lets business owners know how much money was spent and made and whether the business is making a profit or loss.
     

  3. To make a better decision

    With access to the bookkeeping records, business owners can analyse and identify the opportunities or issues (Eg: which products generated the most profit or did the business overspend), then allowing the business owners to make a sound decision for the business development.
     

  4. Tax Preparation

    With accurate, organized, and up-to-date bookkeeping records, filing for your taxes would be a lot easier and you can confidently know the correct amount of tax to pay.
     

  5. Funding for the business

    As a business, especially a startup, capital is essential to expand the business and keep the business running. There are times when business owners would need to secure a loan or investment for the business. These banks, lenders and investors will want to see the business bookkeeping records to get a sense of your business's financial health and stability.

Benefits of Outsourcing Bookkeeping Services in Singapore

It is difficult for a growing small business to handle everything from financial management to business development. Here are the benefits of having outsourced bookkeeping services for your business:  

  1. Professional Consultation

















    You can unlock the potential of your business by leveraging bookkeeping experts with a wealth of skill and experience to transform this critical aspect of managing finances.

    Not only will they provide professional guidance tailored to you, but they also ensure that essential tasks such as payroll, tax compliance and financial reporting are managed with expertise and precision.
    Plus, their insight can even help streamline efficiency through vetted software or automation tools!

     

  2. Save Time


















    You will save a lot of time for your business in a few ways: 
     

    1. Save time in hiring, training and managing in-house bookkeeper staff to focus on other areas of business.
      With the costs and time associated with hiring, training and managing an in-house staff of bookkeepers, you may want to consider saving yourself stress by outsourcing your business’s financial management needs. This way you spend less time on administrative tasks so that all research energy can be channelled into making better decisions for your company's growth.

      ​Outsourcing for expert help will ensure a smooth, uninterrupted operation so you can rest assured that all is running smoothly!
       

    2. Save time due to efficiency and accuracy
      Bookkeeping services give business owners an edge when it comes to managing their finances. This form of accounting streamlines and simplifies the financial management process, making it easier for businesses to stay on top of their books and maximize profits in the long run.

       

  3. Cost-effective


















    Outsourcing your bookkeeping tasks to a professional accounting service provider is more cost-effective than having it done in-house, especially for small businesses. It helps business owners to reduce:
    1. Payroll cost for each full-time bookkeeping staff - salary, sick leaves, insurance, bonuses, etc.  
    2. Cost for additional infrastructure - hardware, software, office space, etc.
    3. Training cost for staff

    On top of that, bookkeeping firms often have a team of professionals with specialised bookkeeping knowledge and skills, making them more cost-effective than hiring a single employee with the same level of bookkeeping expertise.

  4. Flexibility


















    As your company's needs change, you have the flexibility to scale up or down your services when you outsource the bookkeeping or accounting tasks.
     

  5. Reduce Errors


















    Inaccurate or delays in financial reporting and fiscal uncertainty are the issues you may face that are caused by inefficient bookkeeping systems or undertrained or overworked staff.
     
    Also, professional bookkeeping and accounting firms use specialized software and tools to manage balance sheet, financial records and store financial documents, which is far more reliable than manual data entry methods.

When Is The Right Time To Start Engaging a Bookkeeping Service Provider

  1. In the early days of your company
    Getting help with bookkeeping can be a wise choice when your business is in its early stages. As your business flourishes, it is important to ensure that you are spending money in the right places. To streamline this process and ensure the accuracy of financial transactions and paperwork, consider engaging an accounting firm during your company's growth stage. This will help set up strong financial foundations for future expansion opportunities!
     

  2. When making strategic preparations to advance

    Strategic planning to improve a business requires reliable financial data. Engaging the services of an experienced bookkeeping professional is essential for making informed decisions and forecasting future needs with confidence.
     

  3. When having problems with time management
    If you're feeling overwhelmed and spending too much time on bookkeeping instead of focusing on your main business goals, it may be a sign that the right time to engage a professional accounting firm has arrived.
     

    Doing so will enable you to excel at what matters most, allowing peace of mind that essential accounting processes and financial statements are taken care of efficiently.
     

  4. The absence of devoted bookkeeping staff

    As a business grows, the challenge of bookkeeping can quickly become overwhelming. Allocating resources away from what you or your employees do best to manage invoices and payments is not an efficient use of time - so why wait until it's too late? Outsource your bookkeeping sooner rather than later will save both time and money in the long run by ensuring accurate record-keeping that won't lead to employee dissatisfaction.
     

  5. When there is a brief slump or downsizing
    When faced with economic slumps, cash flow problems or downsizing, many businesses find themselves in dire need of quality bookkeeping services without the capacity to fill those roles internally. Outsource your bookkeeping can help keep your business on track and ensure uninterrupted operations - even during challenging times.
