I'm looking to get a business started. My main issue is that I have no clue what I need to do for the accounting/bookkeeping for my business. I have no clue where to look, what documents I need, nothing. If anyone can point me to the right resources on how to do accounting/bookkeeping for my business I'd appreciate it.
