  • Do both sets of records start on April 6th, or does PayPal include the whole of April?

  • Is it anything to do with what has been sold and what has been paid for?

    Do you check both sets against each other every month?

    Might be worth paying someone to look at your accounts?

    Nope, and nope as I require immediate payment for all items to keep things simple.

    Can I be brutal? If you can't afford an accountant on a £900k turnover, you're doing something wrong. Get one - then you'll be able to sleep at night, which is worth good money in itself.

  • Is this your first year or have you prepared figures before?

    You have until Jan 31st 2015 to reconcile everything, assuming that you file online.

    What do you mean reconcile?

    I don't reconcile the bank, I use purely excel for purchases/expenses.

    And ebay sales records that you can download for sales.
