It is probably certain that small business owners don’t go into business for the joy of managing their own business accounting. However, good accounting is absolutely essential for the success of every business, small and large. 

What Are the Key Objectives of Business Accounting? 

The main objectives of business accounting are: 

-Record all transactions in a systematic, accurate, and complete way to give owners a clear picture of the organization’s financial health. 
-Provide critical information for budgeting and planning. Financial resources are never unlimited, so being able to productively allocate resources is critical to reaching a company’s goals. 
-Assist company leaders in making good business decisions. 
-Provide information that will be useful in assessing business performance and in determining a company’s financial position. 
-Provide controls that will protect a company from losses due to fraud, theft, losses, and mismanagement. 
-Meet legal requirements including tax liabilities. 

The bottom line is that poor financial management is a major reason for small business failures. Good accounting is essential to successful business management. 

Why Stay on Top of Taxes? 

One of the key functions of business accounting is to keep track of taxes owed and to pay them in a proper and timely manner. If proper tax procedures are not followed, expensive fines and penalties can be levied which could jeopardize a business.
