How do you 'Keep your Books'
« on: September 11, 2009, 09:50:46 am »
Which software (if any) do you use to keep your books. 

I use George successfully for scheduling and a very basic Excel spreadsheet for expenses. 

What I'm looking for is something easy to use that will record expenses on a daily/weekly basis.

George has a facility for expenses but I've not used it so far.  Do any of you use George for this and is it enough for your accountants.

Or is there a better way that's not expensive?

Thanks to all who replied, for your advice.

I will try the George Expenses section and see how I get on with that.

Ikeep my books in the oven at gass mark 1, I find that cooking them slowly is better than doing them fast ......... they don't seem to burn as much.  ;D ;D
I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

just use xl, your accountant should have no problems with XL.
I fill it out at the end of every day with work done and keep 1 sheet for debters and a diary for planning work easy .

Simple XL sheet with date and items ( attach receipts - you can throw them in a box but the acc will charge you extra for sorting them out. )


label each month as you go down the page or have a page for each month.

this is more than enough.

the more you do the less the accountant will charge
(if you have a decent acc. )
