Bookkeeping involves the recording of economic activities. It is a mechanical process that does not demand much creativity. Bookkeeping is part of accounting, but accounting of data. Accountants classify and summarize the data. They interpret the data and report them to management. They also suggest strategies for improving the financial condition and progress of the firm. Accountants are especially valuable for income tax preparation and analysis. So accounting involves the gathering and recording of transactions and the periodic preparation of financial statements that summarize those transactions.

And now about What Bookkeepers do?

If you were a bookkeeper, the first task you would perform is to divide all of the firm's paperwork into meaningful categories. Those categories would probably include the following:

Sales documents (sales slips, cash register receipts, and invoices).

Purchasing documents.

Shipping documents.

Payroll records.

Bank documents(checks, deposit, slips).

Business trip expenses.

Entertainment records.

So you would have several piles of papers. You don't want the piles to get too unmanageable, that is why you must begin to record the data from the original transaction documents (the sales slips and so on) into record books. (Thus the term bookkeeping). These books are called journals. They are the books where accounting data are first entered.
