We can teach bookkeeping techniques, tips and technology, but if you don't like numbers, you'll never do your books. It turns out producing a website is much like a producing a set of books. At different stages in the factory, different people add value. In web development you have project managers, designers, UI consultants and developers. Accounting is no different. We just have a different set of people who are contributing. We have a bookkeeper, accountant, tax advisor, auditor and a company secretary. Some start-ups make revenue in year-one. However, even if you don't have revenue to count, you can count customers, and you can count you expenditure to make sure you are keeping in budget. There are answers in the numbers. If you analysis your company's management accounts every month, it can teach you insights about your product and services. Learn more.
