And so it begins
So I officially started my bookkeeping side job last night. I have a feeling in about 2 weeks I’ll be trying to figure out what the heck I got myself into! I met with the owner of the company on Wednesday and everything was great. When I left a little over an hour later I had all of their 2007 financial info, a copy of Quickbooks for my home computer, and the promise to get it all organized and computerized as quickly as possible. Hmmmm….. Organized?? Yes, what I was handed was an entire years worth of customer receipts, supply receipts, bills, etc all just thrown together in a box. Although you could see there was an attemp to keep some months together it was still just a jumble. So needless to say it took me over an hour last night to go through it all, get it seperated out by months and in some sort of order I could work with. Then I got Quickbooks loaded and played with it for about 20mins b/c this is the brand new version that has a lot more features than the one at work. Lastly I started getting the accounts set up for recording. This si where the fun begins. There is a book that lists everything but what customers paid. It’s interesting cause it’s all in code!! LOL So it should be fun getting it decoded and transfered into the system. And then I get to start on 2008! At least we’re only a couple months into this year so hpefully that won’t be as unorganized. We shall see though!
