Atricle Dump - Ten Bookkeeping Mistakes Made By Small Business Owners
Operating construction jobs is a great deal of work, not just in terms of using a level or nail gun. Managing those construction duties is just as time consuming and sometimes aggravating. Small and medium sized contractors have a need for the most help, which will definitely benefit the use of construction estimating software. While there are many software packages used for estimating residential and commercial construction options, they can sometimes

Here is a light hearted history and trivia on the ball valve. Read it and you will never take your natural gas or electricity for granted again, ok so maybe you will…Ball Valve mystery? The humble ball valve has a checkered history and somewhat murky origins. It may not be cloak and dagger stuff, but it’s not without mystery… Take a look around to see where the ball valve is indispensable. For example, the ball valve is crucial to the petroleum
The business owner and/or their spouse try to do it all themselves (even though they don't really understand what they should be doing, even though they really don't like doing it, and even though they are busier than they've ever been in their lives before trying to do all the things that go with running your own business).
2. Buying goods or services with cash or personal credit card and then failing to record these transactions at all in the books, or recording them incorrectly.
3. Not properly dealing with employees.
If someone works for you, even for a short period of time, you need to consider whether they are an employee. If they are not going to go onto the payroll, make sure they are going to give you an invoice - no invoice, no payment!
The task of deciding whether someone is an employee is not made easier with the status indicator tool provided by the Revenue & Customs , for all but the most clear cut cases, this tool directs employment. Which of course is what they would say!
4. Not reconciling the bank account
Making sure that what is on the bank statements is the same as the books. This gives reassurance that no bank payments or receipts have been either missed or duplicated. It gives great reassurance that the books are right.

Let me begin by stating that this article is not a discussion about the military or the pros and cons of war. It is about learning some of the most powerful persuasion strategies in use today. And the truth is, military recruiters are some of the best salespeople in the world. They have to be. When you enlist, you agree to a four-year commitment. During this time, you give up your freedom. You must do what you are told no matter how much you might

If a group of 100 people were asked, “If you had the time, are there papers in your files that you could comfortably toss out?” how may do you think would answer yes? In my experience - 99 people would say “Yes.” But who goes into the office and thinks, “OK, today I don’t have anything better to do. I’m going to clean out the files?” Not only that, but if you do start to clean them out, someone will undoubtedly give you a look that says “Don’t you h

Not wanting to over-simplify the whole ‘running a business thing’, but I’ve developed a list (based on my own experiences, and that of my clients and other business owners), which covers some of the things we need to know for different stages of building a business:Start-up phase:- Start a business because you want to, don’t just fall into it - Do your homework – know what you’re getting yourself into, and who else is doing it too

While referrals are one of the most important sources of new clients for therapists and coaches, how to get them seems to be something of a mystery.

What is the best system for the business? For a business which needs to track credit given to customers and money owed to suppliers, it would be silly not to use a computer. For a business which can get by tracking just payments and receipts, it will still save lots of time using the right computer system.
6. Backup
If you are using a computer system - its essential to back it up. It costs very little and takes very little time. There really is no excuse not to!
In fact for details on how to get backup for free see this link, bookkeeping inform ation - www.book-keeping.org.uk/backup.html
7. Getting the right categories set up.
Bookkeeping is really organising information into pigeon holes. Keep your system simple and use it consistently. 20 to 30 account headings (or categories) is probably about right, 50 would usually be too many.
8. Not having a seperate business bank account
Yes you need a seperate bank account. Even if you just have one let property, I advise a seperate bank account. It makes everything much clearer and simpler and avoids unnecessary work.
Also should HM Revenue & Customs ask to see the business records, they would expect to see a business bank account. Having to provide statements for a 'mixed' private and business account would lead to requests to explain all the non-business bank receipts, and probably more explanations on top!
