Welcome to The Book-keepers Forum! - The Book-keepers Forum (UK)

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 everyone - I'm considering starting the AAT level 2 and 3 foundation certificate Bookkeeping distance learning course with Premier training - reading the forums they seem to have good feedback - any advice would be gratefully received. Realistically how long will it take to qualify doing about...

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 there, I just wanted to introduce myself.. I am new to all this, am working in an accounting company but have only been there for six months. I'm currently studying AAT but as I have absolutely no prior experience in accounting I do struggle with work sometimes. Im sure I'll be asking daft ques...

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place but I'd like advice if possible. I am hoping to start a bookkeeping business from home due to other commitments, I'm AAT qualified and have been employed in accounts and bookkeeping for over 6 years so I feel I have enough experience. The only problem...

Hi All We have received a supplier invoice from a UK supplier but its in Euros. We have requested from the supplier that the invoice needs to show the UK GBP VAT equaivalent so we can reclaim the vat but i wasnt sure how to actually post the invoice onto our ledgers, ie what the journals would be? Any help g...

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Simon and I've just found the forum on Twitter. Looks like a really friendly and useful place to hangout.

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 everyone, i dont know if im in the wrong place but i need some help. I have been self employed (sole trader and not vat registered) for 5 years, ive happily done my self assesments no problem.

Hi, I have just completed ICB Level 2 and looking to start Level 3 in the near future but have also set up a very small pet sitting business and have got myself a bit confused putting the theory into practice! I am more familiar with Sage but have recently bought Quick Books as I plan to do more bookkeepin...

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

As promised in another thread here is my first draft of some site ethics.I am sure that you have all read the site rules but the issue with rules is that they can be circumvented where ethics are based in principles.For example, a rule of the road would be one must drive at 70 mph or less.

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...

We use Sage Instant accounts and i have to correct this this month now he has submitted his expenses. She knew she did it and i asked her be...
