Hello! I hope all are doing well, I am a little disappointed; I recently opened my new office on April 18th. I have no clients but I am doing marketing with flyers and business cards. How long does it takes to get clients? I am a graduated person with a Masters in Business Administration and I am bilingual and would like some one to give some ideas and if there is someone who wants to join me, he or she is welcome to share my space. I rent a space at Los Amigos Swapmeet in Bakersfield, California. Any one? Thank you.
Sorry to hear that things aren't going as well as you'd hoped. However, you've posted this on a UK bookkeeping website, so not sure how much help we can be.
agree with previous reply but I hope your business picks up soon! Itis a tough market at the moment but keep with it and I am sure clients will come once the economics environment loosens up a bit!
Thank you Mr. Nick, this is Leonila. I still new to this system. What is the UK? Now tell me what is the benefit of being a members. How does this work. Do you need to take a test?
I have a question for the experts. I resently started doing bookkeeping for a small business and while looking at these invoices I noticed that the owners did not charge taxes on new items, should I leave them the way they are or should I talk to them and maybe minimized the price so I can have taxes added to these receipts. What is the problem if owners did not charge taxes? Is it a disadvantages for the owner because they still have to pay taxes or is there a problem with the IRS? Also I remember I have an 800 number to called but I didn't find it. If you have it can you send me an email at rualeonila@yahoo.com? Thank you.
Leonila, We are all in England so can't really help with US tax questions I'm afraid. Perhaps there is a forum like this based in America that you could look for?

I think you'll find find some of us aren't in England.

Ahh, erm, clearly by England I was clarifying the UK part of the question....!
Obivously I meant we are all in England apart from those of us that are in Scotland (cue complaints from the Welsh.....)

How about all of us come under the laws and regulations set in England!... Sorry, Just winding you up matey. I spend most of my time working in Scotland (Edinburgh) and know how sentences like that go down.
Paraphrasing for Jenny. I think maybe we all work under UKGaap would be more apt... Even though I'm sure that quite a few have already adopted IFRS so can't even use that one.
Ok, just we are all in the (not quite so) United Kingdom.
There you go, knew that we would get there eventually.
P.S. before reading anything into the above remember that I'm Welsh (and still don't even remotely fancy your sheep even with the stockings and heels!).

No compaints from the (psuedo) Welsh contingent. (born in England but from Welsh stock on both sides).

I know in bookkeeping terms this is true but we do have a seperate legal system up here in Scotland although even that is in dispute now. The English must be envious of our "Not proven" verdict. I just had a quick look at Wikipedia and it sums up "not proven" as "not guilty, but don't do it again". (or "everyone knows you did it, we just cannae prove it).

It was a light hearted comment but it depends who you speak to. It's not a question I would ask out loud in a busy pub (well not between October and March, when it's mainly locals in there)
There has been a lot of debate down here about it but the region has always had it's own language, national flag and until not that long ago, its own mint ,and it's own parliament, independant of Westminster. There are serious legal wrangling going on about the legitamacy of Westminsters control of the Duchy, to the point that MPs are not allowed to raise questions in the Commons about it (so much for freedom of speech)
Even Lisa Simpson recognises Cornwall as an independant country. In a 2004 special Christmas greetings speech Lisa chanted Rydhsys rag Kernow lemmyn ! (Freedom for Cornwall now !) and holding a placard saying "UK OUT OF CORNWALL".

Just made a slight edit to last post, to kake sound less like i was on a soap box
I am a hybrid myself ( a case of east meets west), my dad being Cornish born and raised and I was born here (but not raised here ). My mums from King's Lynn , so I knows all about Norfolk .
Thank you all of you; I figure out what to do with the uncharge taxes but here is another question. What are the main bookkeepers duties? Like I said this is my first time being self employed as a bookkeeper. I know it depends on what the owner or company wants but small businesses many time do not have all information we need but want all information they can, which is good that's why we are here but what are the main duties? Do I need to help owners keep tract of every single income and expense in detail. I am a litle confuse. My point of view was to help owners and give detail information of their business, but they do not want to pay too much and that's why I asume some bookkeeper do not give detail information and do not inform owners about how busines are doing. Thank you.
Thnak you Mr. Phil, I understand it is a lot more work than what some employers think. As a first time selfemployee person I am learning the lessons. As bookkeepers we know tha a detail information takes a lot of time; however I should ask more question to employer and find out how much detail information they want in their reports and give them an stimated time it will take to accomplish their job. For me, detail information is important and easier to explain. Thank you very much and God bless you.
A bookkeeper (or book-keeper), also known as an accounting clerk or accounting technician, is a person who records the day-to-day financial transactions of an organization. A bookkeeper is usually responsible for writing the "daybooks." The daybooks consist of purchases, sales, receipts, and payments. The bookkeeper is responsible for ensuring all transactions are recorded in the correct day book, suppliers ledger, customer ledger and general ledger.
The bookkeeper brings the books to the trial balance stage. An accountant may prepare the income statement and balance sheet using the trial balance and ledgers prepared by the bookkeeper.
