HI, everybody, I need your advice please. one of my clients wants to close his limited company. this company has been set up for over a year, he hasn't submitted any year end accounts when his year end came, as his company didn't do any business during the year, doesn't even open a bank account. now, i'm...

Hi All, I have just completed my AAT Level 4 qualification. I work in the accounts/admin of a business (not in practice). I am thinking of setting up to offer a book keeping service for local sole traders and partnerships alongside my full time job. Any advice on starting up would be great!

I am working for a client that has hire purchase agreements. I just want to check that what I have done is correct. I have put a vat only invoice on the system as you can claim the vat back in one go.

Using SAGE 200, previous bookkeeper accrued at year end being DEC 31.....then the accrual account was credited and the Reservice profit in the year account was credited. I have reversed some of these year end accruals - I debited the accrual and credited the reserves. Now invoices are received bu...

Hi all, I picked up a potential new client on Friday night, whom has a self contained (converted Barn) building on her land, and has decided, now she has children, it will be a valuable way to boost their income, to let it out as a holiday home. I explained a little about how I operate, and what she needs to...

Hi everyone - I'm new on here and don't find blog things easy to use. Hope you will bear with me as I am an AAT L3 student and have just started a job full-time in Accounts using SAGE 50. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to sort out a Petty Cash account on SAGE that hasn't been reconciled since 2008...

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place but I'd like advice if possible.

The only problem...

Hi All We have received a supplier invoice from a UK supplier but its in Euros.

I am temping at a small company who uses Quick Books, never used this software before and am at a loss on how they enter the wages and on costs. There are no nominal code numbers as in Sage which I find really off putting so any help will be most gratefully received.

I'm trying to set up a new bank record for a second credit card (using Sage Instant Accounts). I understand that I should use numbers between 1240 and 1250 - but everytime I try to select a number it tells me that "the bank code is outside the range of the chart of accounts, therefore its balance will not b...

Hi Could anyone please advise, we've bought some goods and the invoice is in euros then converted to GBP. The total on the invoice is £141.31 but the payment that has been taken is £146.31 and my question is how do I post the £5 currency conversion amount to sage accounts. many thanks Sue

Good afternoon. I have just taken on a new client for both bookkeeping and payroll and have been asked to perform year end. The net wage totals do not tally with what has actually been paid and when I asked the director why this was, he said to write the difference off to expenses. He can't produce any rece...
