A business ledger is the organised record of all your accounts — cash, every customer and supplier, and expenses. Here is what it means, the main account types, and how to keep yours up to date.
A business ledger is where every transaction is posted to the right account, so you can see balances and history whenever you need them. It keeps a separate account for cash, for each party you deal with, and for your expenses and income. Each party account's balance is simply their total Jama (in) minus total Naam (out) — new to that? Read Jama & Naam explained.
