    My Website

    I like your website, I think a bit of background info on you is good and I dont think its too much. I think its nice that potential clients can get to know a bit about you before having their appointments as I feel they may feel more relaxed knowing a little about you. I have noticed though...

    Accounting Record Book and Receipts?

    I use a WHSmith Ledger book which I find easy and straight forward. It has 2 ledger columns so I use one for income and one for outgoings and 2 years later I still have plenty of pages left. I just store it in a concertina file which I store all receipts in month by month.
