Title: Glad that's over and done with
Post by: sunshine windows on October 30, 2014, 10:01:53 pm

Took the day off today to get my end of year accounts done. My year runs from October 1st 2012- September 30th 2013. Still submitted the same time as everyone else though.

Only took me 12 hours, as I don't touch them during the rest of the year. I just file the receipts and bank statements and put it all into a spreadsheet once a year.

How the hell anyone with a reasonable sized business can get their expenses below £5k is beyond me. I remember a recent posting with lots of people saying £5k was a lot of money to be spending each year. If mine was £5k I'd be a rich man this year  :o

Never got below 5k yet! Why don't you use software and an accountant? Two minutes to get end of year report. 12 hours of your time would pay for that.

Going to start logging all payments on cleaner planner once I have a bit of enthusiasm for it.

It's just dawned on me, I could do my next years accounts from October 1st 2013 - 30th September 2014, so another 12 hours should do it  :D
