You may choose any recordkeeping system suited to your business that clearly shows your income and expenses. The business you are in affects the type of records you need to keep for federal tax purposes. Your recordkeeping system should include a summary of your business transactions. This summary is ordinarily made in your business books (for example, accounting journals and ledgers). Your books must show your gross income, as well as your deductions and credits. For most small businesses, the business checking account is the main source for entries in the business books.

Purchases, sales, payroll, and other transactions you have in your business will generate supporting documents. Supporting documents include sales slips, paid bills, invoices, receipts, deposit slips, and canceled checks. These documents contain the information you need to record in your books. It is important to keep these documents because they support the entries in your books and on your tax return. You should keep them in an orderly fashion and in a safe place. For instance, organize them by year and type of income or expense.

A good recordkeeping system includes a summary of your business transactions. Business transactions are ordinarily summarized in books called journals and ledgers. You can buy them at your local stationery or office supply store.

Balancing your checkbook, which is also known as reconciling your account, is basically about making sure that the records you have kept for your financial transactions match those the bank lists on your statement. There are several reasons for keeping such a record and balancing it regularly:

Balancing your checkbook used to be a chore reserved for a specific time each month: after receiving your monthly paper statement from the bank. With the statement in hand, you would compare the transactions you had listed by hand in your paper checkbook register with those shown in your bank statement.



The old-school method of checkbook balancing assumed that you would carry a paper check register with you everywhere you went, and that you would record your transactions by hand. It also assumed that your transactions consisted primarily of paper checks going into and out of your account.

If you struggle to get into this kind of habit, a number of modern banking conveniences can help remind you to check in once a day. For instance, the majority of modern banks offer smartphone apps that allow you to easily check your balance, see your transactions and even deposit checks via your phone. You also can sign up for email or text alerts that will let you know everything from when your transactions clear to what your current balance is. These amenities make it very easy to check your banking information each day.

One of the reasons why balancing your checkbook has become passé is because most people no longer carry a checkbook, or even paper and pencil. This means you have to remember to write down transactions when you get home, rather than record them as you make them, which is onerous and also a good way to forget transactions.

Not only does tracking your transactions help ensure that you are aware of how (and when) money is flowing in and out of your account, but also it gives you the baseline you need to detect problems and plan ahead financially. It may be that only old-school account holders still record and reconcile paper checkbooks by hand. But there are a number of options available to help you record and balance your accounting in order to stay on top of your finances.

Because recording transactions is part of the accounting process -- whether you record those transactions using accounting software or an accounting logbook or other transaction book -- they must be recorded timely and accurately.

The most efficient way to record your accounting transactions is to follow the accounting cycle, which is a process used by bookkeepers and accountants to make sure that all accounting transactions are recorded properly. The accounting cycle also provides a handy reminder of the necessary steps that need to be followed, which can be beneficial for those new to the accounting process.
