What Is Double-Entry Bookkeeping?

Every transaction affects at least two accounts — a debit and a credit — keeping your books balanced at all times.

A Simple Example

When you sell goods for cash, "Cash" increases (debit) and "Sales Revenue" increases (credit). The two sides always match.

Why It Matters

Double-entry bookkeeping makes it possible to generate accurate Profit & Loss statements and Balance Sheets — both built into ElevenPOS automatically as you record sales and expenses.
