Importing accounting data
There are a number of options available to get your historical accounting data set up on Clear Books.
Manageable volume of transactions
If you have online banking you can import your bank statements into Clear Books and explain all the transactions. This will populate your monthly income and costs and also ensure your bank balances reconcile.
If you do not have online banking you can manually input the data to re-create a bank statement and then follow the same procedure.

VAT Changes
VAT is changing on the 1 January 2010 with a return to 17.5% from the temporary rate of 15% imposed since 1 December 2008. This will affect VAT registered Clear Books users in the following ways.
Normal Invoicing
We have always had the option for both 17.5% and 15% in the VAT rate select boxes. Remember to use the 17.5% rate from 1 January 2010. We’ll warn you in the system if you enter an invoice date post 1 January 2010 and forget to use 17.5%.
Presets, Defaults, Recurring Invoices & Bank Import Rules
Where the rate is currently 15% we will automatically update to 17.5%.
Flat Rate Scheme
For users on the flat rate scheme we will close off your scheme so that from the 1 January 2010 you will be forced to enter your new flat rate percentage before you can continue using the system. The appropriate flat rate percentage will be applied to invoices dependent on invoice date (or payment date if cash accounting).

It was a great event and from walking round the venue it was clear that accounting software was well represented in both online and offline forms.
One thing that caught our eye was the speed networking event.
Clear Books meets Enzo Calzaghe
He has trained one of the most successful British boxers of all time (Joe Calzaghe - 46 fights, 46 wins) and he has picked up a BBC sports coach of the year award along the way. He is Enzo Calzaghe and last night Clear Books bumped into him during a strategy meeting… in the pub.
He saw a lot of fighting spirit in this candidate…
…and thought these two would go the distance.
