      @@AccountingStuff What's next when don't pay? Could I get a chart & examples for when don't pay eg. Pre reminder letter/invoice, Reminder Letter & invoice, Outstanding letter &/ invoice, statement to include with for new charges or payments made to accompany letter or invoice, & invoice or letter with late fees do up another invoice or statement, I really like to know every single step, do also send agreement to refresh their memory & if so, what stage? Do have all examples or samples do have link/s? How many steps are there in total?.
      Also, does it matter if I did an invoices for companyA invoice no. 01, another different companyB invoice no. 02, then companyA again for new service/fees on invoice number 03? Like it is in a cash receipt book, or does have to be eg. CompanyA invoice numbers 01, 02, 03 & CompanyB is same invoice numbers 01, 02, 03 or 04, 05, 06?
      What to do if already stuffed up the invoice numbers if did wrong or invoice if wrong & they already received? 🙏🙏

    • @AccountingStuff
      @AccountingStuff  5 лет назад +7

      Thanks for your question! That's an interesting one. To be honest, I've never really had to distinguish between Event and Transaction before. After having a read online it appears as though event can be interpreted in a couple of different ways which makes the term a bit ambiguous.
      Definition #1 (Broad Definition) - An event is a 'thing' that happens. This may result in a transaction if it affects the financial resources of a business. So a transaction may or may not result from an Event.
      Definition #2 - An event relates to the result of a transaction on a companies balance sheet. It sounds like you are using this definition. So when you say 'left with closing stock of $8000'... that would describe the event. Whereas 'the sale of goods of $5000' would be the transaction.
      Does that make any sense?

    Great video explaining all the details about correct invoicing. However, I think QuickBooks, Xero and Freshbooks are often overblown for a lot of small business owners. They're complex and require quite a bit of learning to not mess up things. A simpler invoicing-only system such as InvoiceBerry is not only easier to get used to, but it helps the business owner to focus on their job and leave some of the heavier accounting part to their accountant/bookkeeper at the end of the year.

    Great video.... but no where can I see where the client should pay? No bacs option. Can you add this on the invoice. ? I’m confused by the QuickBooks options.

    Hi James, I'm a self-employeed software engineer in Canada. My "emplyor" requires me to send invoice at the end of month for payment. Can I create invoice on QuickBook online by myself?
