Can anyone tell me what is involved in "doing someones books". I have been offered a small job and have been told that i am required to do a landlord of a pubs books. Sorry if i sound a bit thick but does this just mean keeping invoices and recipts up together or is there more to it than that - VAT returns etc. I am a newly qualified technician but I have never "done" someones books before and im not sure if i have the confidence to do this as i wouldnt want to do it all wrong - im not sure whether i should take the job or not. Any advise would be really appreciated.

    It depends. Before you say yes or no I'd find out what he wants you to do and also to see if you can do what he wants. Also I'd ask about the money, you don't want to be paid next to nothing for the sake of a pint and some nuts!<BR><BR>Don't want to sound rude but if at anytime you are asked to do something and your not 100% sure what he/ or she means it's always best to double check.<BR><BR>Kind Regards<BR><BR>Richard

    Hi Klou,<BR>If I am asked to do the books I usually presume they mean to Trial Balance including VAT returns if necessary but I would check with the client what they require exactly. Does he want payroll too? What about tax Returns?<BR><BR>I "do the books" for a client and go up to Trial balance, bank recs, prepare a rough P&L, VAT returns and payroll. I will also be helping him with his tax return.<BR><BR>If you want any other help, I would be pleased to help,<BR>Regards,<BR>Sarah
