Analysis
Bookkeeping Reset for a Lisbon Specialty Coffee Roaster
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Using the supplied transaction log (provided as a CSV), record each item using double-entry bookkeeping in a journal, post to a general ledger, and prepare an unadjusted trial balance, followed by simple adjusting entries (depreciation on the roaster, prepaid rent, accrued wages) and an adjusted trial balance. From there, produce a basic income statement and balance sheet for the quarter. Constraints: use Portuguese SNC chart of accounts categories at a high level (or IFRS-equivalent), all amounts in EUR, and document any assumptions in a short notes appendix. Success means trial balance debits equal credits, statements tie out, and an external reviewer could trace any number back to a source transaction.
