1.0 out of 5 stars A document from the dark ages, 22 Jan 2006

By A Customer

Oh dear. There are three pages in the appendix that include "useful website addresses", "2005/6 tax rates" and "Computer bookkeeping software".
This is the almost the only evidence I could find that this book has in any way been updated in the last fifty years, although it was allegedly revised as recently as 2003.
All records are supposed to be kept in hand-written books of account, with the occasional reference to carbon copies. Spreadsheets? They don't even rate a mention.
As an accountant trying to help small businesses, I feel that HowTo Books should withdraw this completely irrelevant volume from sale, as anyone starting up a business who reads this will at best get a headache and at worst follow the instructions and waste a lot of time that should be spent in the 21st century.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview on HOW to Keep Your Books, 20 Aug 2003

By	Zordano - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Run a small business or planning one? Need to build competence in setting up and running your books? Need to really understand VAT?

This book is the best of the many available. It won’t scare you - you’ll learn a great deal and build confidence.

It's clear and comprehensive. It also addresses finance and accounting matters and the record keeping you need in relation to both of these.

It also briefly addresses various available pre-printed paper record keeping books and book-keeping software and offers guidance on where to get these.

I found it invaluable when preparing to get my small retail business off the ground (I read it twice beforehand) and I still use it as a reference work.

This is a newly updated edition of a book I found indispensable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Typical archaic methods of accountants, 5 Jan 2006

By A Customer

Example: He advocates using exercise books to keep accounts.

In 2006 this is unacceptable and possibly negligent advice.
Use a spreadsheet at a minimum, at least then you can create backups.

The book would be fine if you wish to have the pain of record keeping and accounts by hand, or it were still the 1950s, but it isn't and there is no need to perpetuate the out-dated and laborious methods cited in this book.

I'm going to look instead for a book about computerized accountancy.

The basic accounting principles and methods outlined in the book are still valid.

However, they are sometimes poorly illustrated. Read more
