Will You Add? - Banish Those Bookkeeping Blues
Are you experiencing career burnout; Does it bother you that you simply do not care one way or the other what happens at work, you just do your job because they pay you and then go home and try to forget about it? Well then you need to get back into the zone in your career. When I say getting back into the zone, yes I am referring to the sports connotation of being in the zone, where you

It is useful to go into an understanding of some of the finer points of maximizing responses to produce business when you want it.1) Position - There is an ugly phrase that is based upon some measure of a truthful principle It is "last liar has the best shot".

Follow my tips below and you'll soon have that simple and easy-to-manage bookkeeping system that won't bring you out in a cold sweat whenever you hear the words 'tax return'. And I promise you, it works!
Gather your supplies!
Get hold of a large ring binder, divider cards, A4/letter-sized paper, stapler, pen, all your business receipts and invoices, plastic folders and a large coffee (or whatever else you prefer!).
Then lock yourself away for a couple of hours.
Get organised
You now need to organise your ring binder into the following sections:
Invoices - Unpaid -- this section is for your outgoing business expenses that have not yet been paid i.e. supplier invoices. Write on the top of each invoice the date it needs to be paid by and place all unpaid invoices in 'date to be paid' order with the earliest one on top.
Invoices - Paid -- this section is for your outgoing business expenses that have been paid or you've paid at the time service was rendered, i.e. that ream of paper that you bought from the office supplies store. Staple each receipt on to a blank piece of paper rather than just putting them directly into the ring binder. This just makes it easier to see at a glance all your receipts and you can also make notes on the paper. Also write on the top of each invoice/piece of paper the method of payment.

Sales are the life-blood to every business. Without sales there would be no income, and no means or justification for the business to exist. To justify the position of “sales representative” it is based upon one truth:“The purpose of a sales representative is to close the sale. It’s the only reason why the job exists.”Without this truth, the job of salesperson cann

However, there are many things that can be done to help beautify and enhance the office space

Oh Grand and Glorious Southern Guru, I am perplexed. What ails thee, my peabrained little grasshopper?

Close your eyes for a moment and think of the smell of freshly baked bread – what does that wonderful warm smell remind you of? Perhaps it takes you back in time to your childhood, to Sunday mornings when you used to walk down to the corner bakery to buy a fresh loaf dusted with flour.In the same way that an everyday aroma can instantly take us to another place and time in our min
Receipts - Unpaid -- this section is for all your invoices that you have sent to clients that have not yet been paid. Write on the top date payment is due and put them in date order so that it's easier if you have to chase overdue invoices.
Receipts - Paid -- this section is for all your invoices that have been paid. Write on the top the date it was paid and how it was paid i.e. bank transfer, cheque, credit card etc.
Bank Statements -- this section is self-explanatory! Just keep everything in date order.
Schedule It In
Now that you've got your system in place, schedule in each week/month to keep your bookkeeping binder up-to-date. In between updating place all your receipts and invoices in a plastic folder so that everything is together when you come to update your system--it would be too time-consuming to add each receipt as you get it!
What Next?
Depending on how far you want to handle your own accounts, you can either hand your very organised bookkeeping binder over to your accountant at the end of the financial year for them to prepare your final accounts, or you can maintain your own books with the use of financial accounting software.
Either way, you've now got a bookkeeping system that is simple and easy-to-manage and won't cause you to break out into a cold sweat at the very mention of the words 'tax return'.
