Skimlinks adds tracking to some, primarily retailers' links, to show they come from this forum.

For some retailers, instead of using Skimlinks to turn the link into a tracked link, we use affiliated links set up through other third parties. Then if it generates revenue from that, this site is paid. The links don't change the content, or what you see or track individual data? So we hope you choose to switch it on.

Sole trader, accounts spreadsheet? Hi, Has anyone got a link to a simple but decent free spreadsheet to use for my accounts?

Ive always done them on paper before but since using a personal budget spreadsheet from this website I'd like to use one for my business. There are currently no thanks for this post. If not already, I'd get familiar with Excel. If you can grasp the basics, you will be able to put together what you need. If you simply get one delivered to you, you will probably not spend the time to understand how it works that is not a criticism just a fact and when it goes wrong, because it will, or when you need to change it, because you will, you won't know how to get from where you are to where you want to be.

And that day will be just before you have to hand in your accounts! Users saying Thanks 1.

I do have Excel just havnt managed to work out how to make my own yet tho Im Ok with using one which aready exists! That's all foreign language to me. I went on one of the HMRCs short courses free for the newly self employed and they gave us a spreadsheet to use which I found really helpful. I use Open Office by the way, works really well. It's among the handouts here: Another alternative is to post this question on a forum where lots of accountants live eg ukbusinessforums and they will all send you simple freebie spreadsheets.

By the way, I found the whole HMRC course really useful, not just about the tax aspect, but they're very knowledgeable about lots of things to do with small businesses, and it was helpful to meet others in the same situation. Users saying Thanks 3. Are you ok with formulae and syntax?

I think it is like a foreign language. You need to know "enough" to get started and then you are forever learning more as you push your knowledge forward. That looks like a very difficult foreign language, maybe an evening class is in order here!

How about Solar accounts? Quite easy to use and full double entry. Click of the button VAT return, if you are registered for VAT. Good online cloud accounts packages are: Now that sounds daft, but I use it for free as I have a company that I use PayPal to invoice, therefore, Freshbooks only needs to have PayPal as my one 'client'.

Freshbooks is probably the best 'simple' accounting tool you could use for a small business to keep good basic records. I've used all of these and they all work very well for small businesses and you can send invoices that look professional if you need to! The joy of these are that you obviously can use them from anywhere as they're cloud based. Honestly, the best spreadsheet is the one you make yourself, as you'll understand it fully.

It doesn't need to be fancy, just date, who, what for, amount gross, vat, net if vat registered will do. Understanding your data is much more valuable than pretty templates with gizmos if HMRC ever investigate. It's why I stopped using one commercial accounting package as it wasn't clear what it was doing under the covers, so if I was ever asked to justify a vat return or similar I'd be in trouble!
