Imagine Kayla starts a small snack shop near her school in Barbados. She buys juices, pens, and snacks for $1,200 and sells goods for $1,850. One big question now appears: Is the business truly doing well, or does it only look busy? Accounting helps answer that question. It turns day-to-day business activity into clear financial information that can be understood, checked, and used to make better decisions.
