In the world of finance and business, your accounting is an important role. Within bookkeeping, there are two ways: single-entry bookkeeping or double-entry bookkeeping.

Although both methods serve the same purpose of having your accounts in order, they are quite different. In this article, we take a closer look at the difference between these two methods.

Single-entry bookkeeping<\/strong>, also known as simplified bookkeeping, is a simple method of keeping your accounts. The principle behind simple accounting is that each transaction (a purchase or sales invoice, for example) <\/strong>is entered, but not linked to the financial transaction. So while you are going to stop all purchases and sales in your accounts, the bank statements are not an essential part of your accounting. This system is especially popular with small companies and freelancers because of its simplicity. In single-entry bookkeeping, only income and expenses<\/strong> are registered<\/strong>, resulting in simple, uncluttered accounting<\/strong>. This method provides basic insight into a company’s financial health, but it can fall short of providing detailed analysis needed for larger organisations. Consider, for example, the number of days customers are paying late. You can obviously monitor this through Dexxter, but if you want to apply large-scale analysis to it, you need to go to a full-fledged double-entry accounting system.
