Catch up the bookshop's bookkeeping before next Y/E - doh!

I blew it. 13 months ago

Year End was May 31st. I think I still have data from March, April & May to enter. Sigh…

I don’t know if I’ll get to it before the end of July. Thankfully the accountant doesn’t usually show up until October or November.

Still, I’m disappointed. I so wanted to stay on top of this.



January - done! 14 months ago

I can’t seem to get beyond being three months behind, but at least I’m keeping up being ONLY three months behind.

Mandala’s year end is May 31 so it is looking less and less like I’ll be caught up entirely by then, but lucky for me, our accountant is as delinquent as I am – he rarely shows up before Oct/Nov! hahaha

I admit, I wasn’t very dedicated this week. I could have stayed longer and done more. Next week, for sure.



December was quite unsatisfying 15 months ago

I had to plug $5.34 – only about the fourth or fifth time I’ve ever allowed myself to give up hunting for that last lost penny or nickel, and by far the largest amount I have ever plugged. But, it’s another month down, so I’ll take it as an accomplishment.

Bring on the 2008 data!



November's books balance 15 months ago

and December’s invoices are entered.

I’m now optimistic that I’ll be entirely caught up by Y/E (May 31).

Yay!



November 16 months ago

Entries are inputted, but … sniff, sniff… it didn’t balance, and I didn’t have time to stay and begin the error hunt. Sigh…

Next week will make a push to finish up 2007.



October's entries... 16 months ago

inputted and balanced. Phew! Four months to go.



Clock's ticking 16 months ago

Year end is May 31st. I think I’m up to entering September’s or October’s data… the weeks are just flying by so quickly right now, I can’t seem to get ahead!

Each month takes me about three hours to enter, reconcile and balance. Assuming I have actually finished September’s entries, I have only 15 hours of work to catch up to now.

“Only” – yeah, right – because 15-hours’s grow on trees!



July is not only done... 18 months ago

but it balanced first try – woo hooo!!!!

Aug through Dec/07 left to go.



June down, July through Nov to go! 19 months ago

Finally found the errors and balanced June’s entries, so it’s on to July.

As tedious as this work can be sometimes, it feels good to have started catching up again.



June's books 20 months ago

I started this week on June’s books. Despite being rusty from having had such an extended hiatus from this work, I entered all the data in just under three hours. Unfortunately, I didn’t balance in one account, so I have to hunt down the error next week. Shoot – I really wanted to knock off one month’s work each week, but oh well. Some progress is better than no progress :o)
