Book keeping

[Ian]

I've started threads on this subject before, mainly because I'm a massive spanner when it comes to keeping them up to date. In a last ditch attempt to get on top of them, I've purchased the invoice 2 go, pro package iPad app, which basically does all the hard work and all I need to do is feed it some numbers! It cost £35 which nearly made my Scottish side weep uncontrollably but, I've just done 6 months worth of books in 2 hours. I highly recommend it if you are as bad as I am with keeping up to date with paper work

I used to get my wife to help do them but, we'd always end up falling out! Mainly because I had no idea which receipts went with which invoice, because I'd left it for so long :lol:

She don't put receipts with invoices Bri, all receipts are put under a heading fuel, materials etc and earnings...thats it and the accountant has never complained.

My accountant charges less if I do a bit more of the leg work, I'm sounding like a right tight git tonight :lol: I'm going to get the crumbs out of the bottom of the toaster in a minute, I'm feeling a bit peckish :lol:

I do my books every 4-5 months.......that's ok isn't it. rrr:

I then sit down and sort out all my receipts and put them in date order.........then the wife takes over.

I just throw a cardboard box of everything in with the accountant once a year and let him sort through it. :lol:

Bit of a bonus to add on to this story. I needed a wireless printer to go with my new book keeping app so, I took the family on an outing to Currys yesterday afternoon, after a bit of deliberating I opted for a Canon printer (because it had 45% off :lol: £100 down to £55), paid the money and went back to the car. On the way back to the car we came across a stray dog and thinking it was quite likely to get run over, bundled it into the car and took it home. The wife circulated a description on a Facebook lost and found pets page, we didn't have much luck finding the owner until this morning. It turns out it belonged to one of the towns biggest drug dealers and he was happy to get her back (the dog not my wife), gave us £40 for our troubles and went on his way. Total cost of a printer for me...... 15 quid

In my younger days i used to find an old dog or two i had to take home, sometimes ended up with more than i expected.
Dealers knocking on my door in the early hours asking for her back.

I use and recommend the Solar Accounts package. It was about £125 from memory, a one off payment and you download the programme to your pc. It is easy to use and does all my books including bank reconciliation, trial balance and p & l. Once done I copy everything onto a memory stick and my accountant checks it and submits it and my self assessment to the taxman. They also have a forum so you can ask other users if you get stuck.
