Unanswered Bookkeeping Questions

Lucy's comments to me have stuck in my head for the last two years. I too don't know the answers to all the questions my visitors post.

I'm hoping Lucy and other bookkeepers just like her will take the time to share their expertise with others on this site.

A bookkeeper can "sign" their post with their name and the name of their business when they respond to any post on this site.

The best and the worst
home office file organization experiences

Do you have a filing system that works? Were you ever in a horrible mess? How did you climb out of it?

Maybe you hate filing but have come up with a lazy man's solution that works for you ... because filing is a chore that has to be done if you own a small business ... and want to stay in business. It would be really mean :0( if you had perfected such a filing system and didn't share!

There is one question on organizing paperwork for clients that needs some visitor feedback. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have a great story about when you were audited?

Did you change any of your procedures after you experienced an audit? In hindsight, do you wish you would have done things differently from the start?

Do you have a favorite bookkeeping resource?

Do you have favorite bookkeeping resources you use or refer to time and time again? Or a favorite bookkeeping tip that tipped the scales for you? Why not take a moment and share one or more of them with us.

Are you knowledgeable in a specialized area of bookkeeping ... such as farming, rental properties, construction or daycare ... and want to write an article about it?

One site visitor made a contribution to the bookkeeping forum about how banking can assist you with your business record keeping.

For my US visitors, I added information about where to find useful U.S. tax deduction lists by occupation and access to a team of experts on Best Small Biz Help.

Are you learning how to use QuickBooks®?

Two recent questions in The Learning QuickBooks® Forum were Problem Filing GST Reports and Recording Interest Received.

Post your QuickBooks® question or tip ... respond to QuickBooks® questions or tips posted so we know whether it works or not ... let's help and be helped ... because I don't always have the time or money for training ... and I'm thinking you may be in the same boat.

Visitor Comments From the Mailbag

I LOVE your website and the path you've taken.

I started out working from my home office 6 years ago and have had some ups and downs but I'm always finding it difficult to get answers to various questions that come up.

Your site has been a soft landing spot for me and I actually took 10 minutes out to read through it instead of just coming here to pick out my answer and leave.

I have many more things to read but I just wanted to thank you for giving us a place to go.

Good Luck to you!

Lucy from Markham, Ontario, Canada, February 2009

P.S. Many questions have been answered. It's (this site) marked as one of my favourite go to websites and it will be a current up to date place to go when I need quick answers.


Lucy, thanks for your kind words ... and I hope you use the bookkeeping forum to help you find answers to your questions. ;0) Lake
