Product Description

Product Description
Intended for the small business owner with no knowledge of, or real interest in, book keeping and accountancy, this guide can be used by the smallest of businesses - part-time as well as full-time - and by those with no aptitude for figures. Avoiding jargon and confusing language, it provides practical examples of real businesses to show, step-by-step, how to record each transaction. It offers an alternate system to double-entry bookkeeping which, the book argues, is overly complex, open to error and very time consuming. There is also extensive advice on pricing goods and services, including the mistake of underpricing which is common among smal businesses.

About the Author
Mike Truman is a chartered accountant and fellow of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, as well as a professional writer in accountancy and taxation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spend less time on paperwork, more time on doing business, 15 May 2004
By M. J. Strawbridge "philoxenic" (Ely, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent little book. Unlike some others, it is aimed at people running small businesses, rather than at trainee accountants or book-keepers.

It presents a no-nonsense scheme for recording income and expenditure in a way that makes it straightforward to transfer it to your tax return. Three real-life examples - a builder, a shopkeeper and a taxi driver - are used throughout, showing how the ideas work in practice, and highlighting how these different businesses can all use variations on the same approach to their record keeping.

I paid full price for my copy, and consider it a bargain. Why not get yours here and save £3.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not useful for a Limited Company, 15 May 2006
By R. Dewing (Hampshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sorry but this book does not do what it says on the tin. I run a one employee limited company - that's a small business in my book, but in this book it is stated that the simplified bookkeeping system described is not suitable for a limited company. This not made clear in the Amazon description so I'm afraid I will be sending it back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great help!, 5 Jul 2006
Having struggled on 'doing the books' for my husband out of neccessity, not desire, I decided to give this book a go. At last, plain talking easy to understand literature that I can now use in my daily bookkeeping and I can also understand the principle behind accounting. I already use spreadsheets but there is only a small mention of those in the book however it is so easy to follow that you can set up your own system and I have adapted mine. Will soon be doing the accounts without an Accountant!!!!!!!
