Get a better overview of your company's finances.

2
00:03.690 --> 00:06.346
Wouldn’t it be nice to keep track of how much money

3
00:06.346 --> 00:09.787
that comes in and out of your business every month?

4
00:10.886 --> 00:12.585
And how much you can withdraw in salary

5
00:12.585 --> 00:17.125
and still have money left over for taxes and future investments?

6
00:17.835 --> 00:20.111
How do you keep track of this?

7
00:20.486 --> 00:22.665
Well, with your bookkeeping.

8
00:22.827 --> 00:25.998
Bookkeeping is a tool that helps you reconcile

9
00:25.998 --> 00:30.000
whether your business is making a profit or a loss.

10
00:32.895 --> 00:36.940
There are many different programs that can help you with your bookkeeping

11
00:36.940 --> 00:40.355
and you can also take the help of an accounting firm.

12
00:41.168 --> 00:43.438
The more often you do your bookkeeping,

13
00:43.438 --> 00:47.167
the better you can follow up on how your business is doing.

14
00:47.533 --> 00:53.010
In your bookkeeping, income and expenses are recorded under different accounts.

15
00:53.581 --> 00:57.857
When you book, you can see where the income comes from

16
00:57.857 --> 01:00.854
and what you have used the money for.

17
01:01.759 --> 01:08.000
The bookkeeping is also useful if the company's results do not turn out as you had planned.

18
01:08.256 --> 01:14.000
For example, it can help you identify unnecessarily high costs,

19
01:14.000 --> 01:19.010
so the information you get from regular bookkeeping can help you

20
01:19.010 --> 01:21.010
lower your costs

21
01:21.010 --> 01:23.717
and improve your results.

22
01:24.060 --> 01:29.315
Based on your analysis, you can then plan for future income and expenses

23
01:29.315 --> 01:31.451
by making a budget.

24
01:32.332 --> 01:35.265
You can compare accounting to a map.

25
01:35.341 --> 01:38.670
Your analysis of the accounting is like a compass

26
01:38.670 --> 01:42.366
and your budget is the very rudder with which you steer.

27
01:43.000 --> 01:45.864
By regularly doing your bookkeeping,

28
01:45.864 --> 01:48.767
analyse your income and expenses

29
01:48.767 --> 01:51.883
as well as plan the future with your budget

30
01:52.034 --> 01:56.000
you can get a better handle on your company's finances.
