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 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).
