The Chart of Accounts (COA) is an essential tool for service businesses. It provides a digital representation of the different accounts associated with the business and its activities, enabling more efficient and accurate financial reporting. The COA contains an outline of all the main financial categories including assets, liabilities, owners’ equity, income, cost of sales, and expenses. This comprehensive system allows pertinent information to be easily accessed and managed, enabling better-informed decision-making. With the right COA in place, your service business can ensure that its finances remain well managed and up to date – so you can stay one step ahead!
