Do you need a straightforward and reliable system for record-keeping?

Small Business Accounting is for small business owners and managers with no knowledge of - or detailed interest in - book-keeping and
accountancy.

The simple single entry book-keeping system explained here is
for real businesses that need a straightforward, understandable
and reliable system for record-keeping. It can be used by the
smallest of businesses operating part-time, as well as full time
ventures, and by those who have no aptitude for figures.
Provided you can more or less understand what a bank
statement means, you can understand the record-keeping system
outlined here.

Intended primarily for sole traders and assuming no prior knowledge of business records and accounts, the book uses practical examples of real businesses to show, step-by-step, how to record typical business transactions. The system will ensure that you can produce a complete and correct set of books for your business as well as providing guidance for completing your annual tax return.

· Designed for sole traders and small partnerships

· Includes case studies so you can see the system in use
· Build the confidence to handle basic and more complex transactions
· Move on to VAT, your tax return, cash flow forecasts and more at your own pace 'A clear, lucid guide to a field that for the first timer can be baffling and time consuming... a must for every sole proprietor' Independent
