Bookkeeping and Accounting for Your Small Business

Bookkeeping and Accounting for Your Small Business was written because most guides to book-keeping, even those aimed at small businesses, describe a complex system of formal double-entry book-keeping. The system described in this book is the one that most accountants advise small businesses to use; an 'analysed cash book'. If you can read your bank statement, you can understand this way of keeping accounts.

Bookkeeping and Accounting for Your Small Business teaches small business owners how to keep the books and prepare accounts. The accounts included follow the layout of the new Inland Revenue self-assessment tax return (effective April 1997) and are based on examples from real business owners.
