ACCOUNTING METHODS

Cash basis vs. accrual basis accounting

Cash Basis Accounting

Generally recognizes income when received and expenses when paid, subject to applicable accounting and tax rules.

Accrual Basis Accounting

Generally recognizes revenue when earned and expenses when incurred, regardless of when cash changes hands.

Which method applies? The appropriate method depends on your business, applicable reporting requirements, and tax considerations. Not every business may freely choose either method, so review your situation with a qualified professional.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is business accounting?

Business accounting is the process of recording, organizing, reconciling, and reporting a business's financial transactions so owners can see how the business is performing.

What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?

Bookkeeping focuses on the day-to-day recording and categorizing of transactions. Accounting is broader and includes reconciling accounts, preparing financial reports, and organizing information for analysis and tax purposes.

Does my small business need monthly bookkeeping?

Many do. Monthly bookkeeping keeps records current, makes reconciliation easier, and avoids a large backlog at tax time. The right frequency depends on your transaction volume and needs.

What financial statements should a business review?

Most businesses benefit from reviewing a Profit & Loss Statement and a Balance Sheet regularly, and many also review a Cash Flow Statement and aging reports. Which reports are available depends on your records, accounting method, and agreed scope.

Can NetFintax help clean up overdue bookkeeping?

Yes. Historical cleanup is available, and we can review your records to discuss what is needed. It is separate from ongoing monthly bookkeeping, and timelines and fees depend on record quality, transaction volume, and scope of work.

How often should bank accounts be reconciled?

Most businesses reconcile monthly when statements become available. Businesses with high transaction volumes may reconcile more frequently.

Can NetFintax work with QuickBooks or Xero?

Many businesses use QuickBooks or Xero, and software setup considerations can be discussed in a consultation. Software setup, subscriptions, migrations, and integrations depend on the agreed service scope. Please confirm the specifics with us before enrolling.

What documents are needed to get started?

Helpful items include bank and credit card statements, existing books or reports, invoices and bills, prior tax returns, and a list of the accounting software you use.

What is the difference between cash and accrual accounting?

Cash basis generally records income when received and expenses when paid. Accrual basis generally records revenue when earned and expenses when incurred. The appropriate method depends on your business, reporting requirements, and tax rules.

Can accounting services help prepare my business for tax season?

Organized, reconciled records can make tax preparation more efficient. Accounting support does not guarantee any particular tax result.
