Accounting describes the financial maintenance, auditing and reporting of your monetary business activities. A small piece of advice: Don’t ignore this important part of your business! Keeping close track of your money allows you to stay in control and to plan ahead for the future. You can find an external accountant or hire someone to work for you in-house.
