For many years I have done the accounts for a small business run by me and my husband. It used to be very small indeed, but recently it has taken more of a front seat. So I have to get more serious on proper procedure! I am self taught on double-entry bookkeeping and use an old version of Sage. Sometimes I find it very hard work to do the books, but sometimes I get very into it and really enjoy making it all add up.
Hi i'm a newbie too. I have been doing my husband books for the last couple of years however i just use the collins book, so no real insight on proper book keeping, so i have now decided to train up, with Kaplan ICB course.
Glad that you enjoy it when you get into it. Been doing this for years and it still gives me a real buzz (and minor sense of amazement) when after all that data input a balance sheet does actually balance!
Hope to talk soon,
Shaun.
