A regularly updated Manual intended to assist the start-up, small business and charity with the establishment, maintenance and application of their accounts

All too often such enterprises are put off from doing their own accounting by the implication that it is difficult and can only be handled by those specially trained to do so. For the type of enterprise this Manual is aimed at that could not be further from the truth and that represents some 70% of all business in the UK !!

If you or your employees or co-workers can use a pencil/pen to copy figures from one piece of paper to another and use a calculator03-Jan-2011

Better still if you use a Personal Computer with a suitable spreadsheet application then the task is even easier

Generally a start-up, small business or charity finds the job time consuming but with the simple disciplines explained in this Manual that time will be a great deal less than you thought and you will come to find it time well spent when you are

able to determine how well, or otherwise your enterprise is performing without delay

able to make the mandatory reports to such as Her Majesty's Customs and Revenue in good time

As the Manual develops we will provide commentary on side issues of interest such as 'Working with Banks' . More detailed information will be available through links that will have been researched to find the most reliable and relevant articles for your further reading and more in depth study at your leisure
