Do you run a very small business, so small that you're not registered for VAT?

Would you like to know how to keep your records really simply?

Bookkeeping doesn't have to mean buying expensive desktop software.

If your business has only a few transactions a month, you can keep your records easily on a nice simple Excel spreadsheet.

This series contains four lessons to show you how to do this:

Lesson 1: Learn how to keep a list of your sales.
Lesson 2: Learn how to keep a list of what you've bought, i.e. your purchases.
Lesson 3: Learn how to keep lists of the money you receive and the money you spend.
Lesson 4: Learn how to agree your money lists back to your bank account.

Buy the whole series to receive a 25% discount on the price of the lessons!

Included in the price of the series are the videos and a fully illustrated .pdf document for each video.

Hi, I'm a Chartered Accountant by profession and have now branched out into making screencasts.

My "Sage Tricks for Accountants" video series came about after having learnt these tricks the hard way as I struggled to turn a set of records on Sage into a set of balancing accounts.

And my "Really Simple Bookkeeping" video series was inspired by the number of really small businesses who just don't need to buy expensive desktop software to keep their books.

Fantastic. I can now get started. If you could do one including VAT that would be very useful!
