Bookkeeping Is Not Accounting 

In summary, bookkeeping is the foundational process of recording financial data, while accounting builds on that data to provide insights, compliance, and strategic decision-making. Both are essential for a business’s financial health, but they serve different purposes.

BOOKKEEPERS record daily transactions, maintain ledgers and journals, and track income and expenses.  They record and organize financial data and focus on RECORDING.

ACCOUNTANTS prepare financial statements, analyze financial data, are involved in forecasts and budgets, ensure adherence to Accounting Standards, and work with businesses in their management and problem-solving.  Accountants normally possess certifications and higher education qualifications.  They focus on ANALYSIS AND REPORTING.

Many businesses settle for bookkeepers, when they can have more – professionals with long experience who can help them really understand their business.
