Updated with tasks.
I actually didn't mean to open #120 as a PR yet, but there's so much to document there that I might submit it this week, and then add blocks to the md
as I encounter them (e.g. there's a tricky process for reconciling wages/payroll, but that happens all in one go at the end of the year)
Good to have PRs up so other people can see/expand on your work if you're not always around 👍

Why?
In order to pass all of our accounts onto our accountants for auditing/year end filings or anything else that is required, we need to first reconcile our accounts with the bank feeds so that they know we can account for each transaction.
What
Bank reconciliations are a charming world unto themselves.
This is the act of matching each transaction from our bank account with the relevant receipt, bill or invoice, filing them into the correct category. This then allows our accountants to go through the accounts and determine what is tax deductible (i.e. counts as a business expense) and what is not ('client entertainment' for example, does not count as a business expense), allowing them to then calculate how much corporation tax we need to pay at the end of the year.
We don't have this documented yet but it is a necessary process, so we must do so.
Making this a
priority-2
as we are currently finalising our reconciliations and this is an effective time to write this up! Moving this here from https://github.com/dwyl/hq/issues/414
