Bookkeeping
What is Bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is the practice of recording financial transactions, forming the foundation of the accounting process in any business. These transactions include purchases, sales, receipts, and payments by individuals or organisations. Common bookkeeping methods include single-entry and double-entry systems, ensuring accuracy and transparency in financial records.
At Ray Accounting Group, we simplify the bookkeeping process, providing tailored solutions to meet your business or personal needs. Whether you’re managing a small business or require individual financial tracking, we offer expertise and support to keep your records accurate and up-to-date, empowering you to make informed financial decisions.
Single-Entry Bookkeeping
Single-entry bookkeeping is a straightforward system used to track a business’s finances. Each transaction is recorded as a single entry, typically reflecting either incoming or outgoing funds.
Ray Accounting Group can assist you in implementing single-entry bookkeeping when appropriate, ensuring accuracy and simplicity for your financial tracking needs. Our tailored support helps you maintain clear records, allowing you to focus on growing your business.
Double-Entry Bookkeeping
Double-entry bookkeeping is a more detailed system where every transaction is recorded in two accounts, ensuring balance. For example, a purchase is entered as both a debit in one account and a credit in another, offering a complete financial picture.
At Ray Accounting Group, we specialise in managing double-entry bookkeeping to provide businesses with reliable, balanced, and comprehensive financial records. This approach helps you gain deeper insights into your finances and supports informed decision-making.

The bookkeeping process involves systematically managing financial transactions to ensure accuracy and organisation. It begins with analysing transactions and assigning them to appropriate accounts, followed by recording these entries in a journal while ensuring that debits and credits are balanced. The next step is posting these entries to the ledger for a comprehensive financial overview. Finally, adjustments are made at the end of the accounting period to reflect accurate account balances. At Ray Accounting Group, we handle each step with precision, ensuring your records are accurate and tailored to your business requirements.
