Overview

Bookkeeping involves the systematic recording of a business’s daily financial transactions, such as sales, purchases, receipts, and payments. It serves as the foundational step in maintaining financial accuracy and transparency, and ensures that every transaction is properly documented.

Accounting, on the other hand, goes beyond recording—it involves organizing, classifying, and summarizing financial data to generate meaningful insights for business decision-making. This process results in the preparation of essential financial reports, including the balance sheet, profit and loss account, and cash flow statement.

Accurate accounting plays a crucial role in ensuring timely compliance with tax obligations such as advance tax, TDS, and GST.
