Accounting Systems set-up, Chart of Accounts and General Ledger

  • Proper accounting and bookkeeping begin with a proper set up of an accurate chart of accounts.

    At IKRG, we can help you set up your accounting system with a proper chart of accounts, relevant to your business type.

    The general ledger is the core of your company’s financial records.

    These records constitute the central “books” of your system.

    Since every transaction flows through the general ledger, a problem with your general ledger can throw off all your accounting.

    We perform diligent periodic reviews of your general ledger system, and fix any discrepancies before it can snow ball into any major problem.

    Thus we help keep your books always accurate and your accounting reliable, to power your business sustenance and growth.
