17 bookkeeping stinkers and how to avoid them in your business

How much is good information worth to you?

If you think about it, we are all constantly making decisions and the better information you have the better decisions you can make.

When it comes to business it's vital you make good decisions because your business has such an impact on your life. The results of your business will determine where you live, where you go on holiday, how often you can go out for diner and eventually when and how you can retire.

Most people work in the hope that some day they will be able to retire. But, unfortunately according to Government research that day will come much later that expected. This is because the UK has a pension crisis - basically, people are not saving enough. Or, rather people are not able to save enough because of day-to-day living costs.

Luckily because you run your own business you have choices and can do something about it. Put simply, you can make more money, not by working harder but y working SMARTER. But, to do this you need better information and you need to understand what it means and how to use it.

Why is StinkyBooks free?

StinkyBooks has been written to encourage you to change. Not just any old change, but the type of change that makes a lasting difference. The reason it is free is because we didn’t want to put up a barrier and it is sponsored by our good friends at MORE SOFTWARE. We hope you will give their software a try if you decide to change.

MORE is simple video-guided bookkeeping software distributed for free by a network of accountants including The Long Partnership. Find out more about MORE and their software via the Website www.freebookkeepingsoftware.co.uk. Then, contact us for a demonstration and set up.

Stinky Books does not include ongoing plugs because this book is not about MORE. It's about YOUR Stinky Books! For change to work it needs to be fast. Now just download the book, the rest sort of happens naturally because, once you realise there’s a better way to do something it's difficult to get it out of your head and you know you've just got to do something about it.

So, after you’ve finished reading the book you will know what you are doing wrong and why it’s not good for you. When you know this you will be ready to make the change; not because we say so but because you want to.
