Keeping financial record is essential to any kind of business as it helps in monitoring the finacial health of the business, it used to track the operational expenses and income and it help in the decision making of the company when it comes to finances. It also helps filing taxes accurately and avoiding any legal or financial issue. Usually here in my country we need to keep the financial documents in within 5 to 10 years as mandated by the Bureau of Internal Revenue for future audit.
Yes, that is one of the functions of having financial records archived in the long term, we can easily calculate how income and circulation of money and goods increase in our business, we can monitor it in days, weeks, months, quarters and annually and or every shift of season, if we keep financial records in a structured and neat manner we will be able to see differences in financial circulation in business at any given moment or certain season.
I completely agree with the importance of maintaining records of every type of businesses, regardless of its size or scale. By tracking record of transactions, it becomes possible to get insights of business operations, identify the areas where improvement is needed for efficiency, and make informed decisions about making investments. In summary, financial records are essential tool for any business owner to manage finances effectively.
Actually, if you look further, this is a basic thing that must be owned.
Regardless of any expenses and income in the business, it is clear that there must be a record because the benefits of it are clearly very much.
Apart from us not messing around in daily, weekly or monthly reports on the other hand this is also to see the progress of the business we are running whether it is developing or not.
We certainly have to know and manage this well because even though things like this look trivial, this will actually have a very big impact and the risk if we don't do something like this is quite clear, apart from us being confused we also won't know about the progress of what we are doing.
I agree with you, no matter how big or small money we manage in business or no matter how small the business we do, having financial records is the main thing to do for a business person if he wants to grow in his business, and indeed it has many the benefits that we get if we have financial records.
I don't think so, financial records are not only for business people, financial records are important for anyone, both businessmen, students, workers and even housewives to monitor financial flows, and with that we will have awareness of the money control we have every day, week, month, and yearly.
