Hi - I hope you don't mind me posting on here as I am still a student but I desperatly need your help.

A friend has asked me to help him with his accounts as he was less than happy with his accountant. Basically I will be doing the day to day stuff and a qualified accountant will be looking over it all at year end and doing the tax. He wants me to use a computer programme eg sage but i have herd some very bad reports on the CIS version . Can anyone recommend anything. The other thing is the cost. I need to get it as cheap as poss. Can I buy it second hand?

Any comments will be appreciated

    Is he a sub-contractor or main contractor?

    I use Integrity software, but it's aimed at the main contractor. When I was sourcing new software, I found a company called Clip-it Solutions. They have an excellent product - aimed at smaller businesses.

    We have lots of subbies as clients and have found excel is the best thing for bookkeeping. There accounts are rarely complicated enough to warrant sage or anything more specialised.

    I agree with Annette - subbies much bestt (and cheapest) done on XL - easy peasy accounts, and if they get a refund they think that you are the bees knees :lol:

    How do you guys deal with any retentions they've had deducted?

    I'm curious because very often subcontractors I pay don't have a clue why they are suddenly being paid more money. Others have fallen into a trap of raising sales invoices twice and overstating their turnover.
