Hi I have been very happy working with VT+ for the past few years, however, all my work has been for end clients, who basically have no idea what I am using! However, I have started to talk to local accountants to see if they have any work they would like to outsource. My only concern is if they want me to use...

Hi, Does anyone us Payroo software and if so is there a box to tick to say you want to use the cumulative method for NI when processing payroll for directors? If not then I may use HMRC basic tools. Elaine

I have accumulated a large credit in expense accounts. I want to inject money to pay off the expense accounts. Initially I thought this should be Capital Introduced NC 3010, but now I'm thinking it's not Capital as it for expenses. Am I correct, and if so where should I show this? Thanks Michael

Hi everyone I'm trying to set up the Chart of Accounts in Xero for a LLP, coming from Sage 50, and I'm struggling to get my head round the partners' capital and current accounts - it's been a while since I did partnership accounts, and I'm definitely rusty! I'm thinking that the partnership capital acco...

Hi, The owner's original plan was just to start using Sage 01-Dec, so we started with bank account O/Bs from 30-Nov. Then the owner decided to drop the entire year into Sage, so we need to post the entire year's transactions. Will Sage "know" that transactions prior to 01-Dec are before th...

Sometimes my brain just shuts down and won't co-operate with me. I can't figure out the "proper" way to post a supplier refund. I mean, electricity overpaid and the electricity company pay the overpayment back by cheque. (Actually, it was by BGC - but it's the same idea). I've taken a backu...
