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?

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.

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 .

Keep a record of everyday work , money in an out , throw all bills in a box , and  save  for  my acountant to sort out

[Smudger]

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. )
