Depreciation vs. Amortization: Unlocking Key Differences in Asset Accounting Ever noticed how some assets lose value on the balance sheet over time while others are recorded differently? That’s where Depreciation and Amortization come in! These accounting practices help spread the cost of assets over their useful lives, improving financial clarity and planning. Understanding them is essential for accurate profit reporting and smart asset management. 👉 Swipe through the carousel to learn: Depreciation is used for tangible assets like equipment and buildings, reflecting physical wear and tear. Amortization applies to intangible assets like patents and copyrights, showing value decline over time. 💼 Why This Matters: Real Profitability – Spreads asset costs across periods, giving a clear picture of profit. Tax Efficiency – Reduces taxable income, helping optimize cash flow. Better Planning – Tracks asset value to aid in informed replacement and investment decisions. #AccountingEssentials #DepreciationVsAmortization #FinancialLiteracy #BusinessFinance #AccountingTips #TaxStrategy #AssetManagement #FinancialEducation #LinkedInCarousel #TaxPlanning #FinanceEssentials #AccountingConcepts #Finance101 #LearnAccounting #AccountingBasics #linkedin #Education #Finance #FinancialServices #Investing #FinTech #WealthManagement #PersonalFinance #FinancialEducation #Economy #BusinessFinance #TaxTips #FinancialLiteracy #FinancialFreedom #Accounting #MarketTrends #MoneyMatters

Business Owners & Consultants: Review your depreciation schedule annually. Ask your accountant to indicate fixed asset disposals on your depreciation schedule, even if the asset is fully depreciated. The schedule is not only used for tax purposes, but is also a listing of the assets you own and is used in the valuation process. I have found that depreciation schedule littered with previously disposed of fixed assets is the “sticking point” in the valuation process. Update the schedule. No need to leave “Typewriter” purchased in 1978 on your schedule unless it’s truly owned and being used by the business. #BusinessValuation #BusinessAppraisals #BusinessTips
