    VERY LATE invoice payment after year end

    Hi Kevin, thanks again - yes I realised it was the reverse situation, but had no idea how to work it out in freeagent. Thanks so much - this is making my arduous and onerous task much easier today!

    VERY LATE invoice payment after year end

    That's great guys - thank you. Can I ask a another quick question? I rent a room for half a day a week at this clinic and the guy who runs it is not too organised. At the very end of the tax year (ie on April 3 or 4) he finally invoiced me the costs for the year. Which I immediately paid...

    VERY LATE invoice payment after year end

    Hi, Thanks for your quick reply. So I have already created an invoice in Freeagent for this money - is this what you mean by including it in my sales? I have no idea how to create a balancing entry in accounts receivable? (this is why I have now employed a bookkeeper!)... Sorry for being...

    VERY LATE invoice payment after year end

    Hi, I have just realised while finalising my tax return that I requested by invoice a relatively large payment in Oct 12 and didn't receive it. I am not sure how I managed to miss it (embarassing) but I work really closely with the company concerned, so I am certain we will get it sorted...

    Do I need an accountant or bookkeeper?

    Hi, everybody, thanks for all of your replies, I have had a proper look at the qualifications of this bookkeeper, and they are qualified and also registered with the professional body who posted (ICB). They also work within a company with an accountant so hopefully there is that back up too...

    Do I need an accountant or bookkeeper?

    Hi, I run a small sole trader service based business. So my understanding is that it is a relatively simple business, no employees or VAT or even stock to worry about. However, I hate doing my accounts. I just find it a bad use of my time and skills (or lack of). Currently I have an...

    simple invoicing payments question

    Oh blast! I don't think it will work - the transactions go into Freeagent automatically through bank feed, and so automatically are included as part of the actual account data in Freeagent, is there another way of doing this (I am so sorry for taking up your time like this) Thanks

    That is an absolutely brilliant way of doing it, and one I wish I had thought of! Thanks ;-D

    simple invoicing payments question

    Hi StevensOnIn1, My diary is online, and sometimes ends up being inaccurate if people do not attend, but in addition I keep a written list in a little book, updated each day about who attended and how much and which method they paid - will this be OK, or should I go through my diary and cross...

    simple invoicing payments question

    Thanks StevensOnin1, you may have just made my January! So, just to clarify, (and because it seems so much easier than I imagined I can't quite believe it) - I can just whizz through all of those entries in freeagent and list them as sales receipt - no further information needed? Do I need to...

    simple invoicing payments question

    Hi, I am a sole trader. I work in 2 different clinic venues where my clients pay the clinic and then the clinic pays me. One is monthly by bank transfer, one is ad hoc by cheque. This means that although I do keep a log for myself of who has paid what, and what I am expecting to receive...

    Alternative to a URL redirect?

    Hi, I am going to be opening a new clinic session one day a week in a different town. My current website name works very well at the moment, because it consists of the type of business I am, plus the area I work in. Once I start advertising in this new town, I think having the old web...

    laptop on interest free credit and freeagent/self assessment

    Thanks faraday, however (and I know I am being dumb here!) I don't understand? I am new to freeagent and accounts so still a bit woolly... Could you tell me what you mean by dr and cr? Thanks

    laptop on interest free credit and freeagent/self assessment

    Hi, I decided in December to buy a laptop for the business from my catalogue on interest free credit. I plan to pay a monthly amount from my business account to catalogue account for the laptop in order pay the amount while it is still interest free. How do I record this correctly on...
