Accounting is the recording, interpretation and reporting of financial transactions. Every business must keep proper records of all such transactions. There are several branches of accounting such as financial accounting, managerial accounting and tax accounting.
Whether your business is a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation, businesses must file income tax returns and pay income taxes. Proper record keeping and accurate tax returns are beneficial in maintaining a good business reputation and on the other hand, poor records can result in underpayment or overpayment of taxes.
