What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting
Bookkeeping and accounting are both important parts of managing your finances. At first glance, the two can seem quite similar, but there are a few main differences. Bookkeeping focuses on recording and organising financial data. Accounting is the interpretation and presentation of that data to business owners and investors.
Bookkeeping typically consists of:
- payroll
- invoicing
- receipts and bills
- recording business transactions
Accounting typically consists of:
- financial statements and reports
- budgets
- tax returns
- analysing business performance
