INTRODUCTION
📊 What is Accounting and Bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is the process of recording a business’s daily financial transactions in an accurate and systematic manner. Accounting, on the other hand, goes a step further — it involves summarising, analysing, and presenting this financial information through financial statements.
Whether you’re a freelancer, a small business owner, or running a large enterprise, maintaining up-to-date and precise financial records is crucial. It not only keeps your finances organised but also helps you stay compliant with statutory requirements.
Proper account maintenance is vital for everyone — from industrialists to home-run businesses. It is always recommended to seek professional help to ensure you meet the required accounting standards and avoid financial discrepancies.
Advantage
Advantages of Accounting and Bookkeeping
Determine Revenue & Expenses
Understanding your income and expenses helps you maintain financial transparency and efficiency. It allows businesses and individuals to plan, strategise, and utilise their financial resources wisely.
Quick Access to Operational Data
Accurate and updated records mean that business owners and managers can access important operational data at any time — even if they’re not directly involved in every transaction. This makes monitoring the business smooth and effective.
Regular Reconciliation for Better Decision Making
Regular reconciliation (monthly or quarterly) helps management analyse what’s working and what’s not. Reviewing profit and loss statements makes future decision-making more informed and justified.
Reliable Financials to Attract Investors
If you want to attract investors, your financial statements must be clear, accurate, and up-to-date. Inconsistent or inaccurate books can be a red flag for potential investors, so proper accounting is key to building investor confidence.
Be Ready for Timely Compliance
Well-maintained books make it easy to extract data and submit returns on time. This supports smooth compliance with statutory filing requirements, periodic inspections, and other legal obligations.
A LIST OF DOCUMENTS
📄 Documents Required for Accounting and Bookkeeping Services
To maintain accurate and compliant books of accounts, you’ll need to provide the following documents:
✅ Company/Business Incorporation Documents
Proof of registration like Incorporation Certificate, MOA, AOA, or Partnership Deed.
✅ Bank Statements
Bank statements for the relevant financial year or monthly statements with remarks for easy reference.
✅ Purchase & Sales Invoices
Copies of all invoices raised and received for sales and purchases.
✅ Expense Bills
Proof of any operational or business expenses.

✅ Bank Statements of Partners/Members
If any partner’s or member’s bank account is used for business transactions, those statements (with remarks) must be shared.

Keeping these documents organised helps your accountants prepare error-free books, maintain statutory compliance, and provide timely reports.
