WHAT KINDS OF RECORDS SHOULD YOU KEEP?
The following are various records every business should keep:
Salaries : A business owner is expected to keep a record of the amount paid to self and to all employees.
Cash Balance : The owner should keep track of how much cash is available at any given time to determine if bills can be paid.
Accounts Receivable : Under certain conditions, the owner extends credit to some customers. The money owed is called accounts receivable.
Accounts Payable : In some cases, the owner collects credit from some suppliers. The money owed is called accounts payable.
Government Requirements : The owner must file annual financial statements for government records and tax purposes.
Sales: this deals with keeping records of all your transaction history and incoming revenue
Stocks : These are the stock-in-trade and other raw materials. You can track inventory in two ways. Either periodically where you make a physical count of the inventory daily, monthly, yearly or any other period that matches your business needs. Or, whenever you make a sale - do whichever is easier for you and your business.
