General Discussion

Over the last week a car with Book Keeping service sign writing on has appeared driving around Dawlish and sourrounding area`s.

I would like to warn every body that she is not qualified, and does not actually have any experience.

You obviously have the evidence to back up your claim?

You don't necessarily need a qualification for book-keeping. Book-keeping to trial balance can be learned when you are working; a lot of it is simple common sense and good mathematics. After the trial balance a qualified accountant usually takes over. This is how I learned it but I am not the person that orchid lady is talking about!

Cassandra,
Well said.
I learned for myself when I had my own company and subsequently kept books for someone else.

When I look into my crystal ball, I did not see Roy or FEL-699, coming to orchid lady's rescue. Fiction is far from fact, but it can be sometimes closer than you think.

It's a bit early for the gin, even for you Viaduct...

I, for one, didn't realise that she was a damsel in distress - I assumed that she's a competitor to the new kid on the block, and was using this forum for a dirty tricks campaign.

Though I'd have thought that 'Book-keeper Wars' would be a bit more sedate than the recent similar 'Taxis Wars'...

i am not a fellow book keeping competitor. But this girl does not even have gcse qualifications in maths and has tried to do simple books for a local business who is now struggling because of her.

I have put this on here to let local businesses know that she is a liability. You can listen to this warning or think that im a competitor. Just remember youve been warned.

no your not who i am talking about. you do a very good job on your book keeping. i have proof and evidence that this person is not capable of doing the simplest of even maths equasions.

I wonder if she can spell equations though?

Orchid Lady,
Would this be a reasonable summary of posts to date?

For those who need a book-keeper, it is an important function requiring someone who is competent. As such, it is sensible to check carefully before you engage someone to do it on your behalf.
