  2. What is Bookkeeping? Bookkeeping is a very stable profession, and if you are good with numbers and spreadsheets then it could be a good line of work for you. Bookkeepers usually have to record and organize the financial transactions made on a daily basis by a business or company. However, they can be asked to do a lot of extra work like filing tax papers as well as preparing invoices or the payroll of a company’s employees. In order to become a bookkeeper in Australia, you need to have certain qualifications and accreditations.

  3. Double Entry Bookkeeping? The task of the bookkeeper is to simply record and organize the receipts and keep track of invoices and bills. It is the duty of the accountants to make sense of the data collected and organized by the bookkeepers. They turn the raw data into business reports which are then used to determine the company’s financial standing. There are various concepts used by bookkeepers and accountants to perform their jobs correctly. One of these concepts is double entry bookkeeping.

  4. How Double Entry Bookkeeping Works If the company is making a sale then the transaction would be debited to both the company’s cash account as well as to its revenue account. On the flip side, whenever the company borrows an amount from the bank, the amount is to be entered into the cash account of the company and also credited to the company’s accounts payable. In double entry bookkeeping, no matter what transaction is entered, the assets of the company always equate to its liabilities plus equity. Here, assets of the company are the cash account while the liabilities and equity are the accounts payable and revenue account respectively.

  5. Benefits of Double Entry Bookkeeping There are various benefits that double entry bookkeeping offers to bookkeepers. For starters, it makes it a lot easier for you to locate data entry mistakes. Since the transactions are being recorded in two different accounts, any mistakes made during entry will become evident when the assets don’t equate to the equity and liabilities of the company. Moreover, it also provides a comprehensive record of all the transactions made by the business and their relative impact on the business’s financial standing.
