Bookkeeping for Startups


“We’re starting a new business! We’ve got a great idea which we’re sure is going to make a lot of money, and we haven’t really thought of anywhere to operate from, but that’s not really that important! Our book keeping is solid!” How many times have you heard this? We imagine this is not a statement that most accountants in North Wales or beyond hear very often at all.

If anything, it is quite the opposite.

In today’s business culture, start-up businesses, microbusinesses and small businesses, are on the rise and rise and generally considered, quite here to stay. While indeed partially brought into the mainstream by the recession of 2008 (and a side effect of many people losing work for larger businesses and reacting to it by bouncing back and starting up for themselves) these businesses have been on the rise and have emerged from the lengthy shadow cast by the global economic crisis, but with small businesses comes a unique set of challenges. The first, of course, is not paying adequate attention to book keeping or accounts.

One of the most common mistakes made by small businesses is the fact that putting off something, especially when you work for yourself, is absolutely fatal when it comes to accounts. Book keeping must be addressed on an ongoing basis, as the work piles up and up and doesn’t cease.

A surprising thing about fledgling businesses is the fact that DIY book keepers really use quite an old and outdated method of the trade. Believe it or not, a calculator will get you absolutely nowhere with your book keeping, and specific systems aren’t really there for the purpose of decoration.

They are there to help, and indeed they do help. Significantly. A good accountant in North Wales will have a plethora of programs and tools to make light work of any accounting puzzle, saving you hours and hours of crunching numbers.

Private Rehab Clinics for Alcoholism

One of the greatest fables about rehabilitation is it is a simple matter - a matter of simply not taking substances and getting on with it. There are very many underlying issues which cause addiction to any sort of substance, and an unmanaged, solo effort is one of the very best ways to turn an addiction into a lifelong ordeal through relapses. In the case of alcohol addiction in particular, a solo effort can be very dangerous as well. Alcohol addiction in particular just so happens to be one of the trickiest addictions to manage, to detox and to treat. Treatment for alcohol addiction must keep quite a few things in mind, and there are a great many Private Rehab Clinics across the UK which keep this in mind in order to safely treat alcohol dependence in an effective manner. 1 – Rehab for alcoholism is not the same as other substances. While indeed the symptoms of withdrawal are far from pleasant for those suffering from opioid addiction, the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, w...
