Hi all, I have just got my first client today as a result of making phone calls and sending letters to local businesses i am glad that the perserverence has paid off at last. However from looking at the books thay are in a mess there is about 18 months worth of stuff in a carrier bag to sort out .

My first client was like that, I took them on in April of this year and they hadn't done anything with their accounts since March 2006. It was a lot of work but I got there and I like a challenge luckily. I hope that you get up to speed with it soon
Hi Kris, Thanks for the words of support.He is a lanscape gardener. i am half way through sorting out receipts and it is a mess but i am determined to work hard at it and do a good job Thanks again stephen
Well done for getting your first client, nothing like being thrown in at the deep end eh?
I had a similar situation but with only six months worth of backlog and the VAT man hounding the door. I must say that now I'm up to date I do find that I am missing the challenge a bit.
I too have just got my first client and he hasnt had a bookkeeper for about six months and trying to pin him down to explain payments on his bank statementsand how he accounts for other items plus not having last years figures as a base is a certainly a challenge!
Hi Thanks for the kind words it is good to get a client but it will be hard work sorting the mess out.I am glad things seem to be picking up for everyone and hopefully it will continue.
