    Denise<BR><BR>Why don't you put them on a spreadsheet in excel, I do some bookkeeping for a preschool and I have set up all sheets on excel which I can send you if you like. Just mail me (address in profile) if it would be of any use to you.<BR><BR>For your project, it costs better as most pc's have office on them somewhere!!<BR><BR>Annette

Sage is useful yes, but only if your going to utilise it fully.<BR><BR>I'd ask - do you reconcile his bank, and is he VAT registered. Sage can make these easier, but only if you know the basic principles to carry these jobs out manually.<BR><BR>If you just want to have what is essentially a "computerised cashbook" I'd say Excel wins. Just when providing the information to your Chartered Accountant for final accounts production, I'd provide the spreadsheet on a floppy disk rather than handing over printouts.<BR><BR>I'd be very happy to send you a template.

    Hi<BR>Same sort of thing really - i do the books for my partners window cleaning business and am using DOSH accounts at the moment which is not that brill really as it keeps losing invoice numbers and the reconciliation pages. Any chance i can have a copy also of the Excel rec as i think it might help me too.<BR><BR>Regards<BR><BR>Louise
