Basic Bookkeeping Starting up a small business? Working as an office administrator? Bookkeeping responsibilities can be overwhelming! In this course we will teach you the basics of bookkeeping. Learn what your accounting responsibilities are, basic accounting terminology, the basics of financial statements and how to prepare your files for year end

Business Organization Types • Proprietorship • Partnership • Corporation

The Fiscal Year • A Fiscal Year is an accounting time period that is one year long • Fiscal year ends may vary from the calendar year • Corporate Tax returns are due 6 months after the corporations fiscal year end

Account types • Accounts track all of your accounting transactions and allow you to categorize your transactions • There are standard account types which are the main categories that all businesses follow Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Revenue, Expense

Account types • Asset Accounts (What you own)– include bank accounts, petty cash, equipment, buildings and land • Can be liquidated for cash • Are generally valued over $500.00 and usable for more than one year • The balances in asset accounts carry forward from year to year until the asset is liquidated • For tangible assets the value of the asset is amortized or spread out over multiple years

Account types • Liability Accounts (What you owe)– include loans, mortgages, lines of credit, account’s with suppliers, payroll expenses payable, GST and taxes payable, and your accounts payable account • Your accounts payable account tracks all of your outstanding bills; tracked by vendor name

Account types • Equity Accounts (Value of the Business)– the difference between what a businesses owns and what it owes • Equity accounts include owner or shareholder’s contributions, draws, and retained earnings which are profits left in a business • At the end of each year the net profits (or losses) from a business are transferred into the retained earnings or owner’s equity account

Account types • Income Accounts (Revenue)– Revenue or Income is earned through business activities such as the sale of merchandise or services • Some businesses earn all their revenue by selling products, others offer services, and many offer both products and services

Account types Expense Accounts (The Costs of Running a Business)– Expenses are tracked through 2 main categories; cost of goods sold and operating expenses The expense accounts will vary between businesses but often are very detailed so that a company can evaluate its profitability effectively

Practice Let’s practice recognizing account types by completing the exercise in your handout on page 3

The Chart of Accounts • Because each company is different, the types of accounts they have and how many of each type of account they have are also different • The Chart of Accounts lists the accounts for a specific business • Accounts are often assigned numbers that identify where the accounts are in the ledger or list of accounts

The Chart of Accounts General Accounting Principle’s state that the accounts be organized in the following manner to create consistency amongst businesses. This order is also useful when preparing financial statements. • 1. Assets are listed First; when numbered, begin with the number 1 • 2. Liabilities are listed Second; when numbered, begin with the number 2 • 3. Equity Accounts are listed Third; when numbered, begin with the number 3 • 4. Revenue accounts are listed Fourth; when numbered, begin with the number 4 • 5. Expense accounts are listed last; when numbered, begin with the number 5 or greater

The Chart of Accounts

What are my responsibilities as a bookkeeper? Accounts Payables • A/P Transactions record expenses for your company • Bills and Cheques are the main ways company’s record expenses. Credit Card transactions are also popular • Expenses are tracked by Vendors

What are my responsibilities as a bookkeeper? Inventory • Inventory is goods on hand which a company intends to sell or use for their services • Inventory is a unique type of expense account as it is often referred to as Cost of Goods Sold which measures the direct cost of a company’sincome

What are my responsibilities as a bookkeeper? Accounts Receivables • A/R Transactions record revenue or income for your company • Invoices and Sales Receipts are the main ways company’s record revenue • Income is often tracked by Customer

What are my responsibilities as a bookkeeper? Payroll • Payroll are expenses incurred by a company to hire staff • Payroll expenses include wages paid to employees as well as payroll liabilities

The Trial Balance • A Trial Balance is a list of Accounts and their balances at a specific time • In accounting some account types will have a debit balance and others will have a credit balance • In the Trial Balance Report the total of all debits will equal the total of all credits

The Trial Balance

Debits VS Credits Assets, Equity Drawings and Expense Accounts: Debit to Increase Credit to Decrease Liabilities, Equity Contributions and Income Accounts: Credit to Increase Debit to Decrease • This is so that all journal entries are balanced equations.

General Journal Entries • Any accounting entry results in a Journal Entry • Most entries in a computerized accounting environment will be completed automatically in the background of the program as the user will enter their information through forms • When recording a complex accounting transaction a manual journal entry is completed • When completing a manual journal entry you must remember that all debits must equal all credits

General Journal Entries The following 5 steps will help you through drafting a manual journal entry: 1. Determine all of the Accounts within your Chart of Accounts that will be effected by the entry. 2. Next determine what type of accounts the identified accounts are. 3. Determine for each account used will the account receive a DEBIT or a CREDIT. 4. For each account determine the amount for the entry. 5. Finally, draft your General Journal Entry

General Journal Entries This is a sample General Journal Entry. The sample entry records a loan payment.

General Journal Entries PRACTICE DRAFTING A GENERAL JOURNAL ENTRY FOR THE FOLLOWING SCENARIO Scenario: Your company purchases a new company vehicle from your local car dealership. You issue the dealership a $10,000 cheque for the down payment on the vehicle and the remainder of the cost is financed through Ford Credit as a vehicle loan. The cost of the vehicle is $60,000.00 plus $3,000.00 GST.

General Journal Entries Step One: Determine all of the Accounts within your Chart of Accounts that will be effected by this purchase; there are 4 in this example. • Chequing Account • Ford Credit Loan Account • GST Paid • Fixed Asset – Company Vehicle

General Journal Entries Step Two: Now you will need to think about what type of accounts these are. Account Account Type Chequing Account Asset (Bank) Ford Credit Loan Account Liability (Loan) GST Paid Liability (GST Owing) Fixed Asset – Company Vehicle Asset (Fixed Asset)

General Journal Entries Step Three: Next determine for each account used will the account receive a DEBIT or a CREDIT. Account Debit or Credit Chequing Account Credit Ford Credit Loan Account Credit GST Paid Debit Fixed Asset – Company VehicleDebit

General Journal Entries Step Four: Now for each account determine the amount for the entry. Account Amount Chequing Account $10,000.00 Ford Credit Loan Account $53,000.00 GST Paid $3,000.00 Fixed Asset – Company Vehicle $60,000.00

General Journal Entries Step Five: Finally, Draft your General Journal Entry Account DebitCredit Chequing Account $10,000.00 Ford Credit Loan Account $53,000.00 GST Paid $3,000.00 Company Vehicle $60,000.00

General Journal Entries Here is a sample of what the previous General Journal Entry may look like in a computer software program such as QuickBooks.

Reconciling Accounts Reconciling Accounts • Reconciliations should be prepared for all bank accounts and credit card accounts • Account Reconciliations keep your accounting records accurate, complete and up to date • Bank Reconciliations will help you identify: • Outstanding Cheques and Deposits • Errors to entries • Bank Errors

Reconciling Accounts Steps to Reconciling Accounts • You will need your bank or credit card account statement • Enter your Opening and Closing Balances • Next you will go line by line, checking to ensure your accounting records from your bank or credit card accounts ledger match your statement • Adjust any incorrect entries • Enter any transactions that have not yet been entered • When your records match your bank statement - your account has been reconciled

Goods and Services Tax - GST Goods and Services Tax • GSTis a type of tax charged by businesses that register for a GST number and meet the eligibility requirements by Revenue Canada for a GST Account • See Revenue Canada’s Website www.ccra.gc.ca for information on whether your business qualifies for a GST Account or not

Goods and Services Tax - GST Goods and Services Tax Assuming your company has a GST Account here are your responsibilities: • You must charge your customers and report GST on all taxable products and services • You must record and report all GST your company pays on eligible expenses • You must prepare and file your GST report and remittance either quarterly or annually, a personalized GST 34 form will be mailed to you by the CRA • GST Remittance amounts that are due must be paid within 30 days of the filing period end date to avoid penalties and interest charges

Manual Bookkeeping Options Manual Bookkeeping Options Although most businesses utilize accounting programs such as QuickBooks®, Simply Accounting®, AgPro®, and AccPac® to name a few often small businesses begin by utilizing a manual bookkeeping system Manual bookkeeping is the paper-based and traditional way of bookkeeping. Business transactions are recorded manually by hand using manual or paper book of accounts, such as journals books, ledger books and worksheets

Manual Bookkeeping Options Manual Bookkeeping Options • Many opt for manual bookkeeping because it is cheaper and easier to maintain • Double Entry Accounting is a term often references when referring to manual bookkeeping • Double Entry Accounting introduces the concept of debits and credits, which means that for every transaction there is something received (debit) and given up (credit), as such, each recorded transaction affects two or more accounts

Manual Bookkeeping Options Below is a sample ledger that could be set up in a notebook or as a spreadsheet.

Manual Bookkeeping Options Here are points to consider when setting up a manual ledger or bookkeeping system: • 1. Most businesses have a separate spreadsheet for each month • 2. Income transactions are entered as a positive amount and Expense transactions are often entered as a negative amount • 3. By subtotalling each column you can check your work and ensure that you balance

Manual Bookkeeping Options Here are points to consider when setting up a manual ledger or bookkeeping system: • Separating the GST collected column from the GST paid column makes preparing and filing a GST return simple • Remember to only record the Subtotal amount under the income and expense columns • You can have as many income and expense columns as you need however often its best to keep it as simple as possible. Columns should not be created for vendors or customers only general expense or income types

Practice Complete the exercise on page 12 of your handout by entering in the ledger below each of the following transactions. As a final task prepare a GST Filing for May 2013.

Practice Prepare the GST filing for May 2013

Understanding Basic Financial Statements Income Statement or Profit and Loss Statement   • Income Statement or Profit and Loss Statement presents the revenues and expenses, and the resulting net income or net loss for a specific period of time • Revenue and Expense accounts are accounted for within a company’s fiscal year and the balances of these accounts are not brought over to future years • If you were to look at a Trial Balance Report you would use all Revenue and Expense accounts and their corresponding values to generate an Income Statement or Profit and Loss Statement

Understanding Basic Financial Statements

Understanding Basic Financial Statements Balance Sheet • A Balance Sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity at a specific date • After a company’s yearend is completed all Revenue, Expense and Drawings accounts are cleared as the Owner’s Equity Account is updated • A Balance Sheet report summarizes the company’s activity from year to year. The report calculates how much your business is worth (your business's equity) by subtracting all the money your company owes (liabilities) from everything it owns (assets) • If you were to look at a Trial Balance Report you would use all Asset, Liability and Equity accounts and their corresponding values to generate a Balance Sheet

Why is bookkeeping important, components of bookkeeping, how to become a bookkeeper, how to find a bookkeeper, best bookkeeping services, frequently asked questions (faqs).

Bookkeeping is the practice of organizing, classifying and maintaining a business’s financial records. It involves recording transactions and storing financial documentation to manage the overall financial health of an organization. Most businesses use an electronic method for their bookkeeping, whether it’s a simple spreadsheet or more advanced, specialized software.

When an effective bookkeeping system is in place, businesses have the knowledge and information that allows them to make the best financial decisions. Tasks, such as establishing a budget, planning for the next fiscal year and preparing for tax time, are easier when financial records are accurate.

  • Bookkeeping vs. Accounting

While they seem similar at first glance, bookkeeping and accounting are two very different mediums. Bookkeeping serves as more of a preliminary function through the straightforward recording and organizing of financial information. Accounting takes that information and expands on it through analyzing and interpreting the data.

While any competent employee can handle bookkeeping, accounting is typically handled by a licensed professional. It also includes more advanced tasks such as the preparation of yearly statements, required quarterly reporting and tax materials.

Bookkeeping tasks provide the records necessary to understand a business’s finances as well as recognize any monetary issues that may need to be addressed. Proper planning and scheduling is key since staying on top of records on a weekly or monthly basis will provide a clear overview of an organization’s financial health.

For every type of business, bookkeeping includes several components and steps, including:

  • Documenting every financial transaction (payments and expenses)
  • Recording all debits and credits
  • Sending invoices and processing payments
  • Preparing financial statements (balance sheet, income and cash flow)
  • Maintaining and balancing a general ledger
  • Conducting daily banking activities
  • Completing payroll functions

Bookkeepers work with a variety of clients and are responsible for handling the daily financial activities associated with a client’s business. They oversee and record all incoming and outgoing transactions, create budgets, balance ledgers and may even manage payroll . Becoming a bookkeeper starts with a strong understanding of both finances and organization as well as a love of numbers.

While there are a myriad of courses available for bookkeeper education and training, a good deal of bookkeepers are self-taught since there are no required certifications needed to work as one. The skills needed to become a successful bookkeeper are often acquired through working in a career in the finance industry or even by balancing your personal budgets. Many bookkeepers hone and develop their expertise over time while others opt to complete seminars, read books or take online classes.

Bookkeeping for Your Small Business

Keeping up with the records in your small business might be a task you are willing and able to tackle yourself. The system you choose to use doesn’t need to be complicated and the ledgers should be straightforward, especially if you have just a few or no employees. The most important parts of doing your own bookkeeping are staying organized and keeping track of the details.

Start by deciding on the system you want to use, whether it’s an online program, paid software or a spreadsheet. Next, set aside a dedicated time either weekly or biweekly to review your bookkeeping, reconcile transactions and complete necessary data entry. Finally, you’ll want to decide how all receipts and documents will be stored. You can either keep hard copies or opt for electronic files by scanning paperwork.

Start Your Own Bookkeeping Business

If you find that you have a talent for and enjoy the process, you may consider starting your own bookkeeping business providing this service to others. There’s always a demand for experienced, efficient bookkeepers in nearly every industry. Companies often outsource the organization of their finances to independent professionals, then hire accountants for more complex issues and tax filing.

Before launching your new bookkeeping business, take the time to familiarize yourself with different accounting software, have a strong understanding of profit and loss, know how to run financial reports and decide what type of clients you are interested in working with.

When first starting out, market yourself as a professional who is well-versed in managing accounts, reconciling transactions, providing financial overviews and balancing budgets. Ask for testimonials from people who have utilized your services in the past and spread the word about your offerings through a website or social media.

If you’re ready to take bookkeeping off your plate and delegate this task to someone else, it can be hard to know where to look. Start by reaching out to other business owners for recommendations, searching online for providers and checking out reviews on Google or Yelp. If you don’t feel comfortable with a freelancer, there are many firms that offer bookkeeping services as well.

In this day and age, the providers you contract with don’t need to be in the same city, state or even time zone as you. Remote work has expanded across nearly every field, including bookkeeping. If you find someone who is a good fit for your business needs, it doesn’t matter if they are in California while you work from New York. You’ll want to create a contract that outlines details, such as deadlines, rates and expectations so that everyone is on the same page.

Online bookkeeping services might be the exact solution you need to save both time and money. The service you decide to use depends on the needs of your business and may include extra features such as payroll or tax documents.

There are dozens and dozens of bookkeeping options available and the choices may seem overwhelming. We’ve analyzed and rated the best online bookkeeping services to help you make the best decision when choosing the right one.

Bottom Line

Since bookkeeping is a more straightforward process than accounting, it is something that many people can (and do) opt to take care of themselves. As your business grows and you begin making higher profits, hiring staff and handling more transactions, however, it may make sense to outsource the details of bookkeeping to someone else.

If you enjoy organization and numbers and have experience with bookkeeping, starting your own business offering this service might be a smart career choice.

What is bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is the ongoing recording and organization of the daily financial transactions of a business and is part of a business’s overall accounting processes.

Are bookkeeping and accounting different?

Bookkeeping focuses on recording and organizing financial data, including tasks such as invoicing, billing, payroll and reconciling transactions. Accounting is the interpretation and presentation of that financial data, including aspects such as tax returns, auditing and analyzing performance.

What skills does a bookkeeper need?

Unlike accounting, bookkeeping does not require any certifications. Individuals who are successful bookkeeping professionals are highly organized, can balance ledgers accurately, have an eye for detail and are excellent communicators.

Can I do my own bookkeeping for my business?

A small business can likely do all its own bookkeeping using accounting software. Many of the operations are automated in the software, making it easy to get accurate debits and credits entered.

An organization’s success lies in meeting customer demands to their utmost delight, but its achievements are measured financially. Business planning starts with the right investment into the right market, with making profit the clear gain, and aim. Money is the energy an organization requires to stabilize business. Whether to draw up a budget for your business, allocate resources, or keep count of receipts, financial transactions occur on a regular basis.

To record these financial transactions, one needs an accountant or bookkeeper who can store, organize and analyze financial activities. That is where the process of bookkeeping comes in. Bookkeeping is an essential part of accounting as it helps an organization look at financial aspects of the business in the long run.

10 Ways to Build Top Presentation Skills in Accounting and Finance

Man using presentation skills in front of group

Today’s accounting and finance professionals are taking on more strategic roles in their organizations and interacting more frequently with other departments. As a result, strong presentation skills are more critical than ever to make compelling points, package information and explain technical information to non-financial stakeholders.

If you work to sharpen your communication with others on your team or with those you supervise, that sets a good example for your entire office. And if you want to build influence in your company, sooner or later you’ll need good public speaking skills to present your ideas to your bosses, colleagues or clients.

How to improve your presentation skills

Here are five practical tips for boosting your presentation skills. Then, because it's likely you work with Excel more than PowerPoint or Keynote, keep reading for five more tips.

  • Face your fears. If you have anxiety about public speaking, the best way to overcome it is to, well, speak in public. Begin by making short presentations to your closest colleagues or friends. When you feel ready, volunteer to give a quick talk or make an announcement at a professional association or civic organization you belong to. Consider joining Toastmasters International, a public speaking organization, to get even more practice. Share tips for presentations with members you meet there. Attend networking events to practice your communication skills.
  • Do your homework. You’ll have much more confidence during your business presentation if you’re well prepared. To get ready for your talk, learn as much as you can about your audience. This will help you determine how you’ll present your information to get your points across. Use concrete facts and quantifiable information from white papers, surveys or case studies from reputable sources to support your points. If you’re trying to win new business, let your audience know how you’ve helped companies or clients reach their goals.
  • Practice, practice, practice. Practice your presentation until you know it inside and out. Rehearse in front of a mirror. Run through it with a colleague or friend. Ask for honest feedback about both your content and delivery, and make any necessary adjustments. Then practice some more.
  • Stand and deliver. Remember one of the basics of giving presentations: “Tell them what you’re going to tell them. Tell them again. And then tell them what you told them.” Keep your audience in mind at all times. Speak conversationally and don’t use jargon. Show enthusiasm for what you’re presenting. Your audience will respond to your passion. Season your talk with some quick asides, jokes, metaphors and anecdotes when appropriate.
  • Anticipate questions. Your presentation isn't necessarily over once you wrap up your prepared remarks. Colleagues or clients may have questions, concerns or points of resistance about information you presented. Anticipate these by being an expert on your topic. No matter how well your presentation went, it could end on a low note if someone asks a question you can’t answer. Again, proper preparation is the key.

How to create strong presentation slides

If you want to build influence in your company, sooner or later you’ll need to present your ideas to your bosses, colleagues or clients. And you’ll likely want to include some visuals. Knowing how to create engaging presentations can help you get your points across and hold your audience’s attention from start to finish.

Here’s how to make the most of your slides when creating a presentation.

  • Begin with a clear outline. We’ve all seen presentations that go nowhere fast. That often happens because the presenter doesn't have a handle on where to go with the presentation. Grab a pen and paper before you open your presentation software. Start creating your presentation by writing an outline, with specific focus on your goals and what you want to accomplish by the time you’re done. This will help you stick to the script when it’s time to put the deck together.
  • Let your titles guide the way. Each slide’s title should provide context and explain the slide’s content, including the conclusion. For example, “A Third of Managers Regret Not Taking Enough Vacation Time” is better than just “Vacation Time.” A more descriptive title keeps your audience focused on the message. Also san-serif fonts that are easy to read. Titles should generally be between 36 and 44 font, and other content should be at least a 24-point font, with a 20-point font for captions,
  • Keep your slides succinct. Don't overwhelm your audience with too many words and numbers on your slides. Yes, you love your numbers , but don’t go number-happy. When deciding what to place on a slide, remember your slides should support what you’re saying, not the other way around. A slide with too much information is challenging to read. You’re essentially asking your audience to read and listen at the same time. Again, don’t make your audience work. If your presentation needs to be shared as a handout or forwarded to others, consider making two versions: a slimmed-down version to talk through and a sharable version with more explanatory text.
  • Make it visually engaging. No, a page or screenshot from Excel doesn’t really count as an image. Use simple photos or illustrations that support your message. A well-chosen image is a nice break from text that can grab your audience’s attention and help reinforce your message. You can find professional stock images on sites like Shutterstock. Also consider colors, and make sure your text and background colors contrast well.
  • Provide a next step. Don’t just end your presentation by saying thank you; give a call to action. Close your presentation by including a slide that mentions what you’d like the audience to do with the information you shared with them.

Once you improve your presentation skills, you can assume you've added valuable skills to your career toolbox. Not only will that help you succeed in your role, it will also help you advance in your accounting and finance career.

Four Steps to Delightful Accounting Presentations

By Charles Hall | Technology

  • You are here:

In this article, I provide you with four steps to delightful accounting presentations–even if you are a CPA. Yes, this can be done!

four steps to delightful accounting presentations

If you’ve read the book  Presentation Zen , you know that many speakers –without intending to– hide their message . In watching CPE presentations and board presentations, I have noticed that (we) CPAs unwittingly hide our message. How? We present slide decks that look like intermediate accounting textbooks–chock full of facts, but too much to digest. And do we really believe that those attending will take those slides back to the office and study them?

Probably not.

My experience has been those slides end up in the office dungeon, never to be seen again. We  have one chance to communicate–in the session.

It is the presenter’s duty to cause learning .  So how can we  engage our audience (even those sitting on the back row playing with their cell phones)?   Let’s start with the slide deck.

1. Make Simple Slides

Make simple slides.

I try to have no more than two points per slide , and I leave out references to professional standards (at least on the slides).

What happens when you see a slide that looks like it contains the whole of War and Peace ? If you’re like me, you may think, “Are you kidding? You want me to consume all of that in the next three minutes. Forget it. I will not even try.” And then you begin to think about your golf game or your next vacation. So, how much information should you include on a slide?

Nancy Duarte recommends the glance test for each slide . “People should be able to comprehend it in three seconds.”

2. Include a picture related to the topic

Include a picture.

For example, if I am presenting to auditors, I might display a picture of someone being bribed. Verbal information is remembered about ten percent of the time. If a picture is included, the figure goes up to sixty-five percent. Quite a difference.

power of pictures

3. Tell a story (and ask questions)

Tell a story and ask questions.

People love stories. If your presentation is about bribes and you have not audited a bribery situation, Google bribes, and you will find all the stories you need. If you can’t find a story, use a hypothetical. Why? You are trying to draw your audience in–then maybe they will put that cell phone down (your most triumphant moment as a speaker!).

Telling your story at the right pace and volume is also important.

Also engage your audience with questions. Stories get the juices going; questions make them dig. And, if they answer you, there is dialog. And what’s the result? Those talking learn, the audience learns, and, yes, you learn.

Move. Not too much, but at least some.

A statue is not the desired effect. Moving like Michael Jackson is also not what you desire (moonwalking was never in my repertoire anyway). But movement, yes. I walk slowly from side to side (without moonwalking) and will, at times, move toward the audience when I want to make a point. So, am I constantly roaming? No. Balance is important.

Now, let me provide a few thoughts about presentation software and handouts.

Presentation Software and Handouts

Presentation Software

If you have an Apple computer, let me recommend Keynote  as your presentation software . I do think PowerPoint (for you Windows users) has improved, but personally, I prefer Keynote.

Another option—though there is a cost—is using Canva to create your slide deck . Your creativity is almost unlimited with this software—pictures, graphics, templates, colors, resizing, and more. Once the slides are created, you can download them as a PDF. Then present the slides (in the PDF) using the full screen option in Adobe Acrobat . I’ve done this a lot lately. Love it. 

Here’s a sample Canva slide:

Canva

If you need to provide detailed information, give your participants handouts (examples of what you are discussing).

I prefer not to provide copies of slides. Why? Your participants will read ahead. You want to keep your powder dry. If they already know what you’re going to say, they’ll stop listening.

Your Presentation Tips

What do you do to make your presentations sizzle?

very good introductory course. It really helped me understand the basics of bookkeeping. I wish there were more examples and practice questions (with more detailed explanation on the case)

Reviewed on Feb 18, 2023

Very instructional, especially for a beginner! Sometimes it would be hard to follow- the screen a bit fuzzy, and some people's voices were a lot quieter than others. Good information- okay format.

Reviewed on May 28, 2022

I got stuck at the end. When adding all of the debits I had to choose the multiple choice that was closest rounding down. all of my ither answers were correct based off of my journal entry.
