You can ask us to prepare your annual accounts from these basic books and records, but the efficiency of our work increases as the quality and organisation of your records improves. We recommend that you prepare basic accounting reconciliations. These will enable you to check the accuracy of the information as you go along. Not only will it save you money in accountancy fees, it will also help you ensure that you have collected all the money that was due form your sales, and that you are paying only what you owe.
You will probably find it easiest to maintain your books by using a computerised accounting package. We discuss this issue (and more) in our running a business section.
