Key Accounting Margins & Ratios Every Bookkeeper Should Know (Intuit Academy Certified)

As an Intuit Academy Certified Bookkeeping Professional , one of the foundations of accurate financial analysis is understanding the core accounting ratios and margins that drive business decisions.

Here’s a clean, powerful breakdown of the most important formulas every bookkeeper, small-business owner, and finance professional should master:

1. Profitability Margins

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit ÷ Revenue × 100
Operating Profit Margin (EBIT Margin) = Operating Profit ÷ Revenue × 100
Net Profit Margin = Net Profit ÷ Revenue × 100
Contribution Margin % = (Revenue − Variable Costs) ÷ Revenue × 100

2. Liquidity Ratios

Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio (Acid Test) = (Current Assets − Inventory) ÷ Current Liabilities
Cash Ratio = Cash ÷ Current Liabilities

3. Solvency / Leverage Ratios

Debt-to-Equity = Total Liabilities ÷ Total Equity
Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities ÷ Total Assets
Interest Coverage = EBIT ÷ Interest Expense

4. Efficiency Ratios

Inventory Turnover = COGS ÷ Average Inventory
A/R Turnover = Net Credit Sales ÷ Average A/R
A/P Turnover = COGS ÷ Average A/P
Asset Turnover = Revenue ÷ Average Total Assets

5. Returns

ROA = Net Income ÷ Average Total Assets × 100
ROE = Net Income ÷ Average Equity × 100
ROI = (Gain − Cost) ÷ Cost × 100

6. Cash Flow Metrics

Operating Cash Flow Ratio = OCF ÷ Current Liabilities
Free Cash Flow (FCF) = OCF − Capital Expenditures

7. Break-Even & Costing

Break-Even (Units) = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price − Variable Cost)
Margin of Safety % = (Actual Sales − BEP Sales) ÷ Actual Sales × 100

These ratios help monitor performance
Reveal financial health
Support better decision-making
Strengthen your bookkeeping accuracy
And elevate the value you bring to any business

Accruals Tracker Template (for Bookkeeping Practice)

One of the key principles of accounting is matching income and expenses to the correct period — not when cash moves, but when value is created or consumed.

That’s where Accruals come in.

To make my month-end process easier and more structured, I created this Accruals Tracker Template — a simple but powerful tool that helps me record and monitor accrued expenses and revenues accurately.

Purpose: To record and monitor expenses or revenues that have been incurred but not yet paid or received, ensuring they’re recognized in the correct period under the accrual basis of accounting.

Sample Journal Entries

1️⃣ To Record Accrued Expense (at month-end)

Date: 31-Oct-2025

Journal Ref: JE-001

Entry:

Account:

Electricity Expense ₦85000 (Debit)

Accrued Expenses (Liability) ₦85000 (Credit)

Narration: To record accrued power bill for October 2025.

2️⃣ To Reverse the Accrual (Next Month)

Date: 01-Nov-2025

Entry:

Account

Accrued Expenses (Liability) ₦85000 (Debit)

Electricity Expense ₦85000 (Credit)

Narration: To reverse accrued power bill recorded in October.

3️⃣ When Actual Payment Occurs

Date: 10-Nov-2025

Entry:

Account

Electricity Expense ₦85000 (Debit)

Bank Account ₦85000 (Credit)

Narration: To record power bill payment for October 2025.

How to Use the Template

List all month-end unpaid expenses (like utilities, rent, wages, internet, etc.) in the table.

Record the month they were incurred and the month they will be paid.

For each, make a month-end accrual journal.

At the beginning of the next month, reverse the accrual entry.

When the actual payment happens, record it normally.

Add journal references for easy cross-check in Xero, Zoho, or Intuit QuickBooks.

This tracker helps me close my books accurately each month and ensures my financial statements truly reflect what’s been earned and incurred — not just what’s been paid or received.

Every small tool like this deepens my understanding of accrual accounting and improves the quality of my bookkeeping practice.

My New Discovery: Building a Professional Accruals Tracker

One of the trickiest parts of bookkeeping for me used to be accruals — especially figuring out how to record expenses and revenues that have been earned or incurred, but not yet invoiced or paid.

At first, I didn’t fully grasp how accrued expenses and accrued income work. I would simply wait for the invoice or payment to show up… until I realized that doing so delays recognition and misstates both profit and liabilities.

That’s when I decided to build my own Professional Accruals Tracker Template, just like the Professional Prepayment Tracker I created earlier — to bring structure and accuracy to this critical part of the accounting cycle.

My Solution

This simple but powerful tracker helps me:
✅ Record expenses that have been incurred but not yet paid
✅ Record income that has been earned but not yet received
✅ Schedule and reverse accrual entries automatically
✅ Keep my month-end adjustments accurate and transparent

Why It Matters

Accruals are at the heart of true and fair reporting under accrual accounting.
They ensure income and expenses appear in the right period — not when cash moves, but when value is created or consumed.

With this tracker, I can now close my books confidently each month, knowing that all revenues and expenses have been matched correctly.

My Takeaway

Every new tracker I build deepens my understanding of how numbers tell the real story of a business.
This Accruals Tracker Template is another step forward in my learning journey — combining logic, structure, and automation to make bookkeeping more precise and professional.

My Learning Journey in Bookkeeping & Xero Accounting

My journey into accounting and bookkeeping has been one of consistency, curiosity, and growth.

Through hands-on practice and real-life Xero simulations, I’ve learned to manage complete accounting cycles — from invoicing and reconciliation to provisions, adjustments, and financial reporting.

Every journal entry, every balance sheet review, and every correction taught me more about precision, logic, and professional accounting judgment — skills that form the foundation of a true bookkeeper.

Beyond the practical side, my journey is backed by globally recognized certifications that validate my expertise in virtual accounting and bookkeeping:

Intuit Academy Bookkeeping Professional Certificate
Bookkeeping Exam Badge (Intuit Academy)
Bookkeeping Professional Certificate (Coursera)
Xero Advisor Certified
Xero Migration Specialist Certified

These achievements reflect my commitment to accuracy, financial clarity, and continuous professional growth.

I also owe special gratitude to my younger sister, Ujunwa, who introduced me to the incredible learning tool that changed everything — ChatGPT.
With its guidance, I gained the confidence to understand not just how accounting is done, but why it’s done.

Today, I stand 90% ready to serve real clients with strong expertise in Xero, Zoho Books, and QuickBooks Online, and the mindset of a lifelong learner who never stops improving.

Every entry tells a story — and I’m here to make sure every number counts.

Full Accounting Cycle of Provision for Doubtful Debts (Xero Practice Set).

✅ What is Provision for Doubtful Debts?

It is an expense estimate for accounts receivable you think you may not collect.

It does not reduce your bank or affect customers directly.
It adjusts your receivables to a more realistic amount.

Ever wondered how Provision for Doubtful Debts works in real accounting systems like Xero?

Here’s a complete breakdown of the full accounting cycle, just as we do it in real client books:

🔹 1️. Create the Provision

When some customers delay payment, we anticipate potential losses. We record:

DR Bad Debts Expense
CR Provision for Doubtful Debts (Contra-Asset)

This reduces Accounts Receivable to its realistic collectible amount on the Balance Sheet.

🔹 2️. Write-Off a Customer

When a customer is confirmed uncollectible:

DR Provision for Doubtful Debts
DR Bad Debts Expense (if extra amount)
CR Accounts Receivable (Customer)

This removes the balance from the debtor’s account and shows the true financial impact.

🔹 3️. Adjust the Provision at Period-End

At each month or year-end, we recalculate expected losses based on ageing:

Increase in provision → DR Expense / CR Provision
Decrease in provision → DR Provision / CR Expense

Keeps your receivables realistic and compliant with accrual accounting principles (IFRS & GAAP).

🔹 4️. Record Bad Debt Recovery

Sometimes, a customer you wrote off surprises you by paying later!

DR Bank
CR Bad Debts Recovered (Other Income)

This boosts your income and demonstrates strong record-keeping discipline.

🔹 5️. Review Financial Statements

✅ Profit & Loss:
Shows the Bad Debts Expense and Bad Debts Recovered
✅ Balance Sheet:
Shows Accounts Receivable – Provision for Doubtful Debts = Net Receivable

Key Takeaway:
Provision for Doubtful Debts isn’t just a journal entry — it’s a strategic control tool that helps businesses present true and fair financial statements while tracking customer credit risk accurately.

I built and practiced this full cycle inside Xero, where every entry automatically updates the reports — giving a complete real-time view of receivables health.

If you’re learning bookkeeping or Xero, mastering this cycle builds your confidence to handle real client files professionally.
