Chart of Accounts. What is it? Why is it important?

What will happen to your company if you were to retrieve specific financial records done a year ago? There will be a lot of panicking and going through a big pile of paperwork. You might spend time sifting through the records to find the exact one. It will be annoying if you realize that you were not organized with your record-keeping because some documents might be missing.  The situation will be very stressful if you were not using a chart of accounts. A chart of accounts helps you allocate each transaction from your business to some category (Rylee, 2017). You can see precisely where your business generates and spend money. No matter the type of business, you should have a chart of accounts.

Percent Income Statement

What is an income statement? An income statement is a financial statement that is used to summarize all the incomes and expenditures of a company over a given period. It takes into account the cumulative impacts of revenues, gains, expenditure, and loss transactions. The income statement is also known as a profit and loss statement (P&L) statement as it reports the profits or losses made by a company within a particular accounting period. For comparison purposes, the P&L statement is usually prepared quarterly or annually for comparisons between periods or analysis of financial trends over time (Stobierski, 2020).
