Your Bookkeeping Community ... Your Meeting Place

This is your spot on Bookkeeping-Essentials.com ... your online community bookkeeping forum ... more like of a bunch of mini-discussions really ... as there are multiple bookkeeping forums ... arranged by subject matter.

Here is where I open up the site to bookkeepers and small business owners to contribute and participate ... because I don't know everything ... I know it's hard to believe! LOL

So welcome to my version of a bookkeeper's forum for work from home business owners doing their own books ... or the work from home bookkeeper looking for someone to touch base with.

Ask and Answer Questions on Bookkeeping

In The Bookkeeping Forum, Recording Corporate Income Tax and GST Exempt Services were discussed.

Questions on Corporate Dissolution Final Transactions and Organizing Paperwork From Clients are still unanswered.

Post YOUR bookkeeping question ... RESPOND to bookkeeping questions posted ... so other site visitors can help and be helped.

Let us nod our head in agreement ... because we've all been there.

Forum
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?

... or maybe you have a CRA horror story about a tax audit. Share it ... please!

Share your story. Share your expertise.

Forum
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.

For my US visitors, I recently 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.

Add a picture if you think it improves the presentation of your information.

Are you learning how to use QuickBooks®?

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

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.

How self publishing your own web page works
is explained further down this page.

Thanks so much for your comments!

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

Self Publishing and How The Bookkeeping Forums Works

Each contribution becomes it's own web page using the software provided by SBI! ... you don't have to be tech savy. Others can comment on, respond to or rank your submission turning it into a discussion ... You have the opportunity to share ideas on bookkeeping issues that are important to you.

If you want to take the time to be a bit creative ... or to make your web page look better ... add a picture of yourself ... or a screen shot of your problem ... or post one of your own drawings that captures the essence of your problem. It's your web page.

All contributions are moderated to ensure original, good quality content. They may be edited for grammar, spelling or presentation. Your contribution will appear once it has been approved by the web master ... that's me. :0)

You have to "play nice", respect copyrights ... and your contribution must be in good taste. If you don't follow the rules, your contribution may be deleted. :0(

My sincere gratitude to all my readers ... without you I'd have no website. Blessings to you all ... whether you participate in the bookkeeping forums or just continue to visit the site regularly!

Reach for your dream. Move out of your comfort zone. Expect abundance.
