Contractor accountant specialists Danbro got off to a racing start with a “getting to know you” event for recruitment agencies.

Many of Danbro’s contractor – or freelance – clients work through recruitment agencies and the Blackpool-based company already has close links with a number of these companies.

On 2 September, Danbro took an innovative step to help it explore ways of working more closely with recruitment agencies, to further improve services to their mutual clients, by inviting agency representatives to the Donnington Park race track in Derbyshire.

The Donnington Park MSVR Blast in the Park Championships featured a packed programme of motor racing entertainment, including two rounds of the British T Car Championship for 14 to 17-year-olds.

Danbro was supporting 16-year-old Joe Hopkins, who stands equal second in the championship points table after the Donnington Park event.

Damian Broughton, from Danbro, said: “We were delighted to welcome around 35 representatives from 11 different recruitment agencies – both new and existing contacts – to Donnington Park.

“We had a very successful day, which has proved extremely useful in building bridges with recruitment agencies towards our shared aim of giving our contractor clients the best possible service. We are delighted to have achieved such a positive and productive result.”

Business may be large or small in size it does needs an efficient accounting system. Accounting department is similar to the spine in the human body, without its support no business can function in a sound manner. You will never get to know what you have invested and how much gained. Let us see how small business accounting can be supportive in sorting out financial woes of your small firm.

In order to learn something, one should always begin from basics. So, the basic component of small business accounting that needs your attention outright is the General Ledger. It is the engine that regulates the fuel of financial figures and data into the entire mechanism of accounting. Some of the most important information which general ledger contains includes:

• Orders placed

• Items Received

• Inventory of sale/purchase

• Amount invested

• Profit and loss made

• Payable accounts

• Payroll of the staff

• Costing

• Fixed assets of the firm

Now, all these entries are referred to as sub ledger entries and the amount recorded into these entries must be equal to the amount filled in general ledger. If any of the financial entry goes wrong or erroneous, then it may lead to huge losses in the business.

There are two kinds of ledgers available in the business houses-

1. Manual Ledgers

2. Automated Ledgers

Manual Ledgers are the traditional sheets of paper wherein an accountant is required to enter the daily transactions records. On the other hand, an automated ledger is maintaining a balance sheet on computer. This is a computerized balance sheet and inventory list which is less time consuming then the manual ledgers.

For small business accounting it would be better to employ automated ledger system since , not only this will consume less time but will also deliver accurate results.

Second step towards marinating an efficient small business accounting system is to work in an organized manner. In most of the business firms professional accountants and CPAs are employed to do the accounting job. With computerized system and accounting software installed, it would be easier to make entries, organize, and track down the data in short span of time. You need not look into bundles of sheets just for a simple transaction.

More employees imply more distribution of work which in turn will take extra time for the compilation of data and financial records. Small businesses cannot afford expenditure of this much time and money on the number of accountants. So, to avoid such a huge mess it is better to limit small business accounting to a computerized system and hire a professional CPA who knows how to manage and handle accounting software and meet the deadlines without fail.

You will have three fold advantages with such an economic way of handling small business accounting

• Less the number of accountants, less is the scattering of data

• Cost-efficient

• Less time consuming
