Invoice items
Bookkeeping for a clients whose books had to be corrected before it was possible to do the accounts. For the last years accounts which we did Jan 23 my assistant has spent over 40 hours sorting out issues ranging from non syncing accounts in online software, incorrectly recorded petty cash and invoices, duplicated transactions and advising the clients how to avoid these issues in the future. The client paid for Bookkeeping for this year to Feb 23 but at that time there were unresolved issues, the Bank account had only been given to my assistant to the end of December and not all advice had been acted upon. Their year runs from June 2022 and they acknowledge that there are still issues that we will need to do additional work but cannot afford to pay for it. We know that they have not uploaded any further transactions since my assistant last worked on this in February. I pay my assistant £12.61 per hour which £250 would cover 19 hours of her time and she would be happy to sort out this year on the proviso they take onboard what is needed for the future for £250 donating extra hours, knowing it will probably take longer to sort out. Whilst still supporting the other CICs she does.
