ACCOUNTING FOR E-COMMERCE: FUNCTIONS
Accounting for e-commerce is important because it allows you, for example:
To analyze:
Analyzing your company's accounting conditions is the type of process that helps you better understand your business and improve it, that is, make it more effective. Reviews can be done before starting a business. But they can also be carried out when the company is already operating and even after closing its doors.
Legalize:
Making a business legal requires opening a company and obtaining a number from the National Registry of Legal Entities (CNPJ). Only with a CNPJ can you issue invoices to your customers, hire good suppliers and charge those customers who don't pay you. When opening your company, an accountant is essential to help you choose the tax system, among other things.
To register:
Accounting is responsible for recording the financial events that occur within a company, including e-commerce companies. Invoices, receipts, copies of checks, and other documents must be documented in writing and filed. Accountants are responsible for, for example, the accounting bookkeeping process, which is stipulated by Decree Law 486/1969.
Regularize:
Once opened, a company needs to maintain tax compliance. In other words, it is necessary to comply with municipal, state and federal tax laws. In addition, staying up to date with social security and the time and service guarantee fund is also crucial. All these services are done by professional accountants.
To accompany:
The day-to-day of a company requires the monitoring of various accounting processes, especially cash flow. The cash flow serves to control the outflows and inflows of financial resources of the company. Thus, it is possible to stay on top of the balance at all times and project future periods with more assertiveness.
See how important Accounting is? In fact, no company can survive without a good team of accountants and good accounting planning. So, you need to arrange this for your e-commerce as soon as possible.
For example, hire a freelance accountant or accounting firm in your district to get started. Or, if you prefer, partner with companies like Contabilizei Contabilidade , which offers plans with fixed monthly prices.
