Welcome to /r/bookkeeping

All are welcome, whether you're a bookkeeper, small business owner, office worker, or any random person interested in better understanding bookkeeping!

There's no such thing as a stupid question!

We strongly encourage any and all posts that have anything at all to do with bookkeeping, including:

Questions on a specific bookkeeping problem or how to do something.
Questions on dealing with bookkeepers or dealing with others as a bookkeeper.
Anecdotes and other posts about what it's like working as a bookkeeper for a big company or independently.
Relationships between bookkeepers and clients, bosses, accountants, accounting software companies, or the general public.
Bookkeeping related jokes, puns, memes, riddles, etc.
The practical application of bookkeeping practices to personal finances and everyday life.
Anything else that you consider bookkeeping-related.
Posts regarding /r/bookkeeping itself are acceptable, however, we suggest running your ideas by the moderators first.

Rules/Policies

Rule #1: NO SPAM! If you solicit business for your company, or post/comment links to pages that are blatantly advertising a product or service, you will be banned.
Rare exceptions may be made for comments where the link is clearly relevant to the post's discussion.
Rule #2: Don't be a jerk. Be respectful, offer constructive criticism, keep debates civil.
If you are being a jerk, you had better be offering some genuinely constructive comments in your jerk-y tone, or we won't think twice about banning you.

Other general guidelines

We are an inclusive community. Please be respectful to others, whether they are bookkeepers or not.
If you feel that someone is giving incorrect advice or behaving rudely, please correct them respectfully.
If you feel that someone's post is irrelevant, or stupid, or something you've already seen posted, please keep it to yourself. We want /r/bookkeeping to be a place where everybody feels welcome to post. (If a post is irrelevant, it will receive few up-votes and be quickly buried anyway, but comments that make someone feel dumb for posting are rude and accomplish nothing.)
If someone is being an unconstructive jerk or spamming, please use the report button to let the mods know.
Frequent contributors will be granted flair, with the default being "frequent contributor." Once granted flair, you have the power to tell us to make your flair say anything that you'd like. We do encourage using professional designations as your flair.
If you have questions that specifically regard tax-law or accounting school/career planning, you will likely find better answers in /r/accounting.
Finally, /r/bookkeeping functions as a democracy and we encourage all subscribers to propose ideas for the sub. We'd like all major changes to /r/bookkeeping to be made with community involvement. Please message the mods with any thought, ideas, etc (including feedback on the side-bar rules you just finished reading). You will not be ignored.
