Does your business need a bookkeeper or accountant?

Bookkeeping 

Bookkeeping is the process of recording and organising financial transactions. It involves keeping track of income and expenses, reconciling bank statements, and maintaining accurate records. Bookkeeping is essential for any business, regardless of its size or industry.

You can handle your own bookkeeping if you're a small business owner by using new platforms like Thriday, which automatically categorises your transactions, determine your GST position and assign expenses to a chart of accounts. If you have complex financial needs such as offshore entities, hiring a bookkeeper can help you stay on top of your finances and ensure that your records are accurate. Generally speaking, however, for most small businesses, you can use Thriday.

Accounting 

Accounting is a broader term that encompasses bookkeeping and includes the analysis and interpretation of financial data. Accountants can help you with tax planning, financial forecasting, and strategic planning. They can also provide valuable insights into your business's financial health.

If your business is growing and you need more advanced financial services, you may want to consider hiring an accountant. However, this can be expensive, and many small businesses may need more money to afford it. Suppose your business is simple: you spend money and earn money and don't have a complex asset structure or foreign income and operations. In this scenario, next-generation accounting software like Thriday should be more than sufficient for your needs. In this case, we recommend setting up on Thriday, and if you need any strategic help from time to time, you can engage an accountant. This way, you get the biggest bang for your needs.
