Bookkeeping is the recording of business transactions over time. A bookkeeper records financial operations systematically, while an accountant plans, summarizes, and analyzes the records. To start bookkeeping, a business owner must determine their assets, liabilities, and net worth. A balance sheet lists assets and claims against them (liabilities and proprietorship) on a given date, dividing them into three sections - assets owned, debts owed, and the owner's equity.
