Question : “ What should I use: single-entry or double-entry bookkeeping?”
 
Cheryl's Answer :When you start a small business, one of your first financial decisions must be whether you are going to use single or double-entry bookkeeping. If finance isn't your strong point, you're likely not looking forward to dealing with the accounting side of the business. However, businesses need to keep a detailed accounting of their financial transactions. This process is known as bookkeeping. The survival of the business depends on the owner’s ability to establish good accounting practices.  Learn more here!
