Accounts help, please

[busy beauty]

Hi

I'm trying to sort out all my works accounts and get everything set up

I knew what I wanted at the beginning but I've now looked into it far to much by browsing websites and confused myself.

All I'm really wanting to to is keep a log of sales then purchases. Do you keep this in two seperate books or all in the one ledger?

I'm wanting to have it written as I dont have my computer at work so I'd like to write it down as I'm at work then when I get a chance when I get home put it on my spreadsheet.

The kids will be home in about 20 minutes and I've not got much time to suss it all out.

Any advice would be great

I was wondering if you keep a long of what each person is spending. I write it on their record cards but I have a spare cashbook that I'm thinking to write each customers name and amount spent so I can see at a glance when they were last in. I wont write what they had done, just really a cash long?
