Accounting Services

The Accounting Cycle Made Simple

Managing your books doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Our step-by-step accounting process ensures nothing slips through the cracks, giving you peace of mind and accurate financial insights.

1. Identifying and Analyzing Transactions

Every financial journey begins with identifying business-related transactions. We sort through the noise to focus on what matters, ensuring your accounts reflect your business activities.

Example: We won’t include personal loans or unrelated transactions—only what impacts your business.


2. Recording Transactions in Journals

We use the double-entry system to document your financial activity with precision. Recurring items like sales, purchases, and expenses are streamlined into specialized journals, while unique transactions are safely recorded in general ledgers.

Pro Tip: Accurate journal entries save time and prevent costly errors during audits.


3. Posting to the Ledger

Ledgers compile all account activity, offering a clear snapshot of increases, decreases, and balances. With Smartbookkeeper dot com, you’ll always know your exact cash flow and account standings.


4. Unadjusted Trial Balance

Before moving forward, we test the balance between debits and credits to catch errors early. While this step ensures equality, we go the extra mile to identify mistakes such as double entries or missed transactions


5. Adjusting Entries for Accuracy

At the end of each period, we ensure expenses and income are properly accounted for, even if they haven’t been invoiced or paid. Adjustments like depreciation, prepayments, and accruals guarantee your financials are accurate.

6. Adjusted Trial Balance

After adjustments, we verify debits still equal credits, ensuring your financial statements are built on a rock-solid foundation

  • Income Statements

We close out temporary accounts (like income and expenses) to prepare your books for the next period. Permanent accounts remain intact, ensuring your business’s financial history stays consistent.


9. Post-Closing Trial Balance

To wrap up, we test the final balances. By now, all temporary accounts are cleared, leaving your records clean and ready for the new accounting period.

10. Reversing Entries (Optional)

If needed, we reverse specific adjustments at the start of a new period, streamlining the process for consistent, worry-free bookkeeping.
