    Protocol for Taking over Client

    Hi You'll need written authorisation from the client to approach the accountant. You need not pass on a copy. Then write to the accountant, listing the paperwork you require, and asking if there is any reason why you should not take on this client. Note that sending this letter is a matter...

    Working as a self employed bookkeeper

    Best accounts package?

    It depends on your needs. Do you want to need it to create invoices or will you be doing that on MS Word (or equivalent)? Do you want it to grow with your business? Do you want to be able to extract information to assist decision-making without running to an accountant or bookkeeper? VT...
