I have received a called today from a potential client who has contacted me about my book-keeping and payroll service. They don't have any account software at the moment and are currently looking at Kashflow, but I haven't used Kashflow before so I would like to re-view this software so that I c...

Hey all! Does anyone know if I am correct in my thinking - On Sage, I would run a VAT return and then "reconcile" it, in order to flag those transactions as having been accounted for on a filed return. Does Xero call this "Publishing a VAT return"? Cheers me dears, hope you're a...

Thank you Shaun for introducing me to VT, it's absolutely brilliant. I've started a new company on it and have found it really easy and straight forward to use and I love the fact you can edit transactions without the hassle in Sage. One question - do you use the codes feature or not bother? Thanks again S...

Hi, I have had to take over our small companys book-keeping and have no qualifications so please excuse my ignorance. I was wondering if you could help me with how to go about putting our leased company vehicles on to Sage 50. Would I just do this as a recurring item through the bank or will I have to put...

Hi, I have always used Sage and most of the time I find it ok. However, I am starting out on my own and can't believe the price of the Sage multi-company software!! Does anyone have any advice on accountant friendly software for use with 5-10 clients? Thanks Sam

HI All, I have a new client who wants me to do their payroll. I have invited them to use Quickbooks as they are not currently using an accounting system and this is the cheapest option for them. However, if I set myself up as a payroll bureau then it gets very expensive using 'the payroll site' which integ...

Hi. I need a bit of advice from you guys...I have a potential new client who has two mobile phone shops. He is looking for an invoicing system which enables both sites to raise customer invoices which are held on one system which he or I can then see. I would guess a cloud based system is the way forward but I...

Hi, Please can anyone confirm what SAGE VAT code they use for eBay selling fees (which attract 15% Luxembourg VAT)? I am not a bookeeper but we do our own bookeeping. We posted the first couple using T8 but this seems to be increasing our VAT due on the return as 20% (not 15%!) of our eBay costs now appear in...

Hi all and I'm so sorry to be such a pain but is there anyone out there who could have a quick look at a Sage backup and the journals I have from the accountant and try and see what the heck is going on?

I'm sorry but I have to get this off my chest. As someone who spent many years in an accounts department back from 1985ish and managed to run many accounts departments easily and without fuss but never touched Sage I have to say what an absolutely convoluted system it is.

Hi all, I've just picked up a client who will fall under partial exemption. It will be a fairly big bookkeeping job and I normally put things on Sage but I don't think Sage will be great for partial exemption (or would it??) so I was thinking of trying to whip some sort of spread sheet up, however not being...

Hi I use VT+ and final accounts, but was wondering if there was an inbuilt report which analyses the data into monthly reports, ie column per month then a final column for yearly total. Thanks Lyndsey
