Accounting Basics

Every individual and business needs some types of accounting system in order to keep track of what they have spent and to predict whether they can expect a profit or loss from their business. Basically, accounting is information published periodically in business as an income statement or profit and loss statement.

Much of accounting is also concerned with basic bookkeeping. Bookkeepers prepare what are referred to as source documents for all the operations of a business - the buying, selling, transferring, paying and collecting. They also make entries of the financial effects into journals and accounts. In addition, bookkeepers prepare reports at the end of specific period of time, such as daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually. Bookkeepers also compile complete listings of all accounts. The final step is for the bookkeeper to close the books, which means bringing all the bookkeeping for a fiscal year to a close and summarized.

A balance sheet is a quick picture of the financial condition of a business at a specific period in time. The activities of a business fall into two separate groups that are reported by an accountant. They are profit-making activities, which includes sales and expenses. This can also be referred to as operating activities. There are also financing and investing activities that include securing money from debt and equity sources of capital, returning capital to these sources, making distributions from profit to the owners, making investments in assets and eventually disposing of the assets.

How is accounting used in business? Well, it's important to understand how the business makes a profit. A company needs a good business model and a good profit model. It's important not to confuse profit with cash flow. Profit equals sales revenue minus expenses. A business manager shouldn't assume that sales revenue equals cash inflow and that expenses equal cash outflows. In recording sales revenue, cash or another asset is increased. The asset accounts receivable is increased in recording revenue for sales made on credit. Remember that some budgeting is better than none. Budgeting provides important advantages, like understanding the profit dynamics and the financial structure of the business. It also helps for planning for changes in the upcoming reporting period.

My Thoughts on Accounting

My guess as to what accounting is:

Almost everything we do in everyday life has something to do with accounting.

Example 1: Mum or Dad bring home the pay check then sit down and work out what money get paid to who. That is accounting.

Example 2: Time for pocket money, parents work out the payment the child gets for what tasks he or she has done. That is accounting.

It doesn't have to money orientated either. Imagine haggling (bartering)for something at a swap meet or yard sale, the idea being save some money and either buy something else or keep what's left. That's my idea of simple accounting.

But accounting is a very sought after position at institutes of higher learning (University). In fact it is one of the most sought after courses.

There is so much an accountant has to know such as the Tax laws a very complex system that baffles me endlessly. If I could start my education over again it would certainly be my top choice to study.

Didn't I do accounting at School? Maths is accounting in a way, so would Science I guess with formulas and stuff. Knowing what you can spend and what you can't is accounting.

Now let me see I have 1 calendar month with 20gb of downloads allowable with my ISP, if I wanted to know how much I can use each day so as not to exceed my limit I would use basic accounting (maths) to divide 20, 000kb by 30 and there I have my daily quotas.

Wow I am an Accountant.

Merchant Accounts for Service Industries

So much time and money is spent addressing merchant processing and related issues for retail and product oriented vendors. Service industries transact business just the same as product related merchants, yet are faced with more challenges. Today, just as we buy products online and over the phone internationally; we are starting to do the same with service providers, and many customers are finding great satisfaction in doing so.

Banks, processors and merchant service providers rate service related merchant accounts into two basic categories; the first being a merchant that retails or wholesales products and at the same time sells a service to accompany the product, or vice versa. A good example of this type of merchant would be an auto repair business; where the mechanic fixes your car and sells you the parts involved with the repair. Other examples are any type of salon where a product accompanies a service. You get the drift. Many times, the products sold pose little threat of customer dissatisfaction due to the fact that quality control is at a higher level than the retail level. Services provided are however circumspect and subjective, thus always have and will always find themselves on the bubble when it comes to customer satisfaction indexes.

The second type of merchant is a service only merchant, where there is only a service charged on the card. Examples of this type of merchant would be a law firm, hotel or a business that charges admission, where there is inherent value, but no product. These service only businesses tend to be more of a risk for banks, due to a lack of quality control or tangibility. Chargebacks are more of an issue, due to the fact that the service is usually rendered before the complaint is filed with the issuing bank or processor. Service only companies almost always like to believe that the quality of service is consistent and many times it is; however, customer expectations are as varied as customers' themselves. These reasons alone inch banks toward higher discount rates and security funds held for impending chargebacks. This should in no way affect a service only merchant from obtaining and maintaining a merchant account. Good bookkeeping, solid customer communication and a well defined business plan listing detailed services provided and possible customer expectations to the bank will go far in terms of lessening chargebacks on the merchant's end. While this won't stop chargebacks , it creates a more defined business transaction, where the gray area of customer dissatisfaction and satisfaction much less.

Walking into a business to purchase a service and/or product seems somewhat of a moderate risk, but how about online merchants selling their services over the internet? Today, with the world getting that much smaller, service industries are thriving. The internet has allowed many clerical, sales and customer service related businesses and even professional services such as legal and laboratory and mechanical services to take the lead in their industries. Customers are now able to do their research to find the best company for the job, not just the most local one, while hoping for the best.

Some services are domestic, just not local to consumers; while other services are sourced out to other countries. It depends on the level of skill, or technical knowledge that it takes to complete a project that determines pricing and lead times. By researching and seeking out specialty service businesses, those merchants may see lower chargebacks and higher customer satisfaction indexes.

Accounting Methods – Cash and Accrual

When starting a business, you have to determine the method you are going to use for accounting and paying taxes. The two choices are the cash method and the accrual method.

Cash Method

If you are looking for simplicity, the cash method is probably your best accounting choice. Generally, income and deductions can be claimed when payment is actually received or made. This is best shown with an example.

I open a small business and have to order business cards and stationary. I receive the products and pay the invoice on November 18, 2005. Under the cash method, I can deduct the cost on my 2005 tax return.

Some businesses are restricted from using the cash method. C corporations may only use the cash method if they have less than $5 million in gross revenues for a particular year. Professional Service Corporations can use the cash method without limit, while farming corporations can due so if gross revenues are less than $25 million. Tax shelters are prohibited from using the cash method.

Accrual Method

The Accrual Method of accounting is a bit more complex. Under this method, the focus in on the date the expense is incurred, not paid. Although this may seem a small difference, it can play havoc with your books and piece of mind.

Using our previous example, assume I order business cards and stationary on the December 18, 2005. I receive the products on December 30th, but don't pay the invoice until January 20, 2006. When can the expense be claimed? It depends on when economic performance occurred.

Generally, economic performance occurs when goods or services are provided to you. In the above example, economic performance would arguably occur when the business cards and stationary were delivered with the invoice on December 30th. Thus, I would be able to deduct the expense for the 2005 tax year.

In Closing

As you can see, the cash method is the easier of the two accounting methods. To determine the best method for your business, speak with a tax professional.

9 things you must do to maximize your chances of obtaining a small business loan

To get approval for your small business loan application, you must be able to meet the lending criteria set down. Some organisations are more risk averse than others, and will therefore have more stringent criteria.

To vastly increase your chances of a successful funding application, you will need to present the following information:

1. The reason for the loan. The lender will be looking for something that fits within the normal range and expertise of your business. The amount may cover a number of items, so you will need to cover each.

2. The amount required, and the repayment term of the small business loan you want. (e.g. $10,000 term 5 years, payable quarterly).

3. Details of how you will repay the amount borrowed. For example, "From the increase in profits of reduced running costs of the Whizzbang Go4It"

4. Details of security you will be able to offer to the lender. This will act as reassurance for the lender. If you're not prepared to put up some aspect of security, then why should they?

5. You will need to include your business plan which will serve to answer essential questions relating to management capabilities, information about the market you operate in. What kind of business you are in etc.

6. 3 Years financial statements. You will need to present quality financial information from your accounting software, preferably signed off by your accountant or tax advisor.

7. Latest Set of Management accounts. Again produced from your accounting software.

8. Accounts receivables (debtors) and payables (creditors) ageing reports.

9. Principals financial statements. - Particularly required if some form of security is necessary.

If you are a new company, the emphasis is going to be on your business plan , and the security (also called collateral) you or your business can provide against the loan.

You must take the time to practice presenting your case to the bank or lender to iron out any glitches. Practice on your colleagues and family (you never know, they might be so impressed, they'll invest or lend!). It may help to role play thelender and come up with as many pointy questions as possible. The more time you take the better your chances will be. (But remember, don't fall into the analysis paralysis trap!)
