I hold a Master of Business Administration degree from Henley Business School, and I acquire, restructure and sell businesses for a living. My niche is in the low end of the market, where the costs of professional services need to be kept low for the deals to break even and make a profit. Whenever I spin off or sell a new company, financial reports have to be made on that date and signed by chartered accountants. Many reports are needed in order to meet legal, tax, financing and buyer requirements. I could afford the initial cost of an advanced accounting package, but what I found I could not afford was the cost of IT maintenance and learning-curve delays of professionals associated with such a package. To keep costs down and flexibility up, I developed methods and routines to do the entire bookkeeping and reporting for all my companies and their holding company using Excel. Journal, ledger, profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow, explanatory notes, VAT, rolling budget, fixed budget and consolidated group reports are documented and explained in this book, for you to use. I hope you will be as happy with this solution as I am. For me, the decision to go with Excel has meant that I can match any reporting requirements including my own quickly and at very little cost, and that I am completely in control of the technicalities and IT issues that might otherwise create confusion.
