Mainly this includes invoicing, payroll, accounts receivable and accounts payable. What does all that mean? In a more general sense, Christina tracks all income that is owed to a business and all liabilities that a business owes to others, like their own staff. Bookkeeping is an exact science, so a knack for numbers and a finely tuned attention to detail are paramount to being a working professional. If you have a head for business and numbers, bookkeeping might be a good outlet for your skills. Tune in to learn more!
