A startup is an organization that is under control of one or more entrepreneurs and aims at bringing a new product or service to the market. In most cases, founders fund initially for setting up a startup. They invest a substantial amount of time and money in research. Mostly, young entrepreneurs are involved in the process. So, since the startups don’t have a strong background at the initial stage of operations, bookkeeping becomes important for them.
Bookkeeping is the process of recording financial transactions of a business on a daily basis that include sales, purchase, receipts, payments. It is a part of accounting that records financial affairs of the business in the form of journal entries. It is basically a means of entering data into the accounting system. Therefore, accurate and complete bookkeeping becomes a major source of information for any kind of organization including startups. However, many times it is seen that startups do not consider Accounting & Bookkeeping services an important task in the initial stage of operations and in order to avoid extra cost, they ignore the concept of bookkeeping.
