I personally keep an excel spreadsheet of my days jobs and associated expenses as I find it makes my end of month office time shorter and easierDo you all keep a running record each day of every house and amount charged? For each job or just a running total of daily takings for tax purposes?
I used to do it like that. If you declare income on a cash basis through hmrc you only need totals and not a broken down record of each individual payment unless your limited or vat registered. I now use cleaner planner and quick books so it’s all pretty much automated and done for me as I go.I use excel too, I just copy the prices part of my sheets from word and paste it into an Excel collum, I do it weekly though and not daily.
don't see the point in doing something 5 times week when it can be done once at the end of the week.

Haha. I remember when I was younger watching my dad pull out a big bag full of receipts when his accountant came round to do his accounts. Come to think of it, it was a right mess. So much simpler these days with everythin being digital. Anything I buy or spend as a business expense I always get through my bank as it’s easily traced and tracked by my quick books app so no messing about saving receipts etc. On the odd occasion I do have to use cash their is a feature in QB where you take a picture of the receipt and it automatically pulls all the info off it and converts it to your digital records and keeps the picture for a reference. The days are gone now where you need a filing cabinet to keep all your records in.I know, I just paste it all in so I can auto sum it to get the weekly total for each week, I have a sheet with week 1 to 54 on it and just put the total against whatever week it is.
That side of it I'm fine with, it's expenses that I get lazy with, I don't keep receipts so try get everything online so there's a record of it without the receipt. Usually I'm having to go back 12 months of statements when it's tax return time because I've not took 10 mins once a week to do it. Every year after having to go back through it all I think to myself never again, am keeping on top of it next year. And it's never worked that way yet.
