Good morning, everyone! I'm using Sage 50. There comes a question that I need your help. I am going to compare the profit and loss for this quarter and the same quarter of last year. But I can only get the data for this year. How can I get the data for last year or only previous years? Thank you!

Hi One of my clients has acquired a couple of large machines which would have cost him around 10K. He purchased a £30K machine from one of his suppliers and had quite a few problems and they gave him these two machines by way of compensation. I am not sure how to show these in the accounts as I have no invoice...

A builder has got subcontractors he regularly uses & takes the CIS tax off them so their payments are coded to 6002. Which code do I use for when the builder for example uses a one off plasterer as part of the house he is doing up? Would it be code 6000 productive labour or 5000 materials? Many thanks

I went to see a new sole trader client yesterday. I had a look at the records and saw that he had been using QB incorrectly resulting in a much higher COGS than it should be. It looks like this has been happening for a few years now and the previous accountant didn't notice it. He has disappeared off the...
