Sole trader bookkeeping – What does it contain?

According to the Accounting Act, every company is obliged to keep records of its business or professional activities. In principle, all accounting entities must do double-entry bookkeeping, but it is still possible for a private trader to do single-entry bookkeeping under certain conditions. Despite the legal obligation, bookkeeping is also useful, as it allows the entrepreneur to better stay on top of the profitability of his or her own business.

Sole trader bookkeeping: in-house or outsourced?

There are numerous ways to handle private trader bookkeeping. If the business is small-scale or part-time, the entrepreneur will be able to manage it personally, in which case it will not be necessary to acquire an accountant.

Alternatively, private trader bookkeeping could well be outsourced to professionals, so you don’t have to lose sleep due to bookkeeping troubles. You can focus on just your core competencies and what you really want to do.

Regardless of the accounting company, the entrepreneur is always personally responsible for the bookkeeping, even if it has been outsourced.

The easiest option for private trader bookkeeping?

As an UKKO Private Trader user, your bookkeeping is handled automatically and you only pay for the service based on your turnover. After registering for the service, you can immediately send the first invoices online.
