Book-Keeping Made Easy |
£6.62 + VAT |
|
This is a handy guide to book-keeping for new business start-ups. This book is different from most on bookkeeping because it's written primarily for the entrepreneur. Whilst students and those entering book-keeping and accountancy careers for the first time may find it of interest, it's not a textbook. It's really aimed at small business owners. Apart from showing how to set up accounting records and explaining the jargon used by those in the profession, it also demonstrates the practical uses to which a goahead businessperson can put the information stored within the accounts of a business. Keeping an accurate detail of all your business transactions should never be classed as a job to be done only when you can fit it into your busy schedule. Your business paperwork needs to be updated daily because it's the gauge of the financial health of your business. It's no good moaning that time could be more profitably spent making sales, because if you sell goods or services at a loss due to poor accounting procedures, what is the point of being in business? Did you know that more businesses fail in their first year or two because of insufficient financial control than for any other reason?
