What is bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is the recording of an organisation’s financial transactions on a day-to-day basis.

Why is bookkeeping important?

  • To help you manage your organisation’s finances
  • To comply with tax requirements and preparation of annual accounts (and possibility audit)
  • To comply with requirements from Companies House and/or regulators
  • To show funders how their money is being spent
  • To show external stakeholders that you are practising good financial management
