When opening a business, you will need to explain that you will need a accounting system for financial transactions. Explain to them that there are two methods for income and expenses. One is cash basis and the second is accrual basis.
Cash basis, you will have to record all the income coming in and the expenses of each transaction. An example would be products only when a customer pays you for the product that you carry.
Accrual basis is the recordings of the transaction. When you make a sale and the expenses that has been made needs to be recorded. Either if you received cash or paid in cash it should be recorded. You will need to do a double entry of the accounting system and you will have two entries for every transaction that is made.
Everything will be compiled into statements. You will also have a review progress report and will be able to locate that transaction. You can even offer credit to the customers instead of getting payments of the point of sale. You can invoice then later.
Analyzing the transactions and entering the ones regarding a business entity. Examples are the loans that are taken for a personal reason that are not in a business document. You need to prepare all documents for the accountant or bookkeeper. You will need to create a journal entry in chronicle order. You need to mark if is a debit entry or a credit entry. To make this process easier, you will write down every recording transaction of all purchase, sales, and cash receipts. Also having a general ledger will keep up the current balances of every account. This is the final entry you enter.
There is also an adjusting balance and unadjusted trail balance entry. Unadjusted are arranged in a report such as debit and credit columns. This is located and rectified with errors that it contains. This will rectify the correct entries.
Adjusting entries will update all accounts and have it summarized in each financial statement. This be accrual of the income and expenses, deprecation, allowances, deferrals and prepayments.
This is how I would do this to form a business with some people in construction.
