Keeping Income Records

Your operation may take in money from one or many sources, depending on what line of work you are in. Most of what you receive is called gross income or gross receipts, for goods sold. Your records should account for all gross income and also show the source of each item for instance, buck sales, doe sales and kid sales.

Keeping Expense Records

To make money in your business, undoubtedly you will have to spend money. It is important that you record all the expenses you incur, such as labor, vaccines, transport, etc. Theses are then deductible from your income to determine whether you are making profits or not.
