Messy Account

[Nurul]

I was working in education sector, and the company currently using manual accounts. But, they want to start using accounting software.

Problem is, I new here. I don't have so much information about this company. But, the problem is they made a payment using director credit card, cash, online banking and by cheque without payment voucher or tracker.

Anyone please help me, where to start and how to start.

Any time you start an implementation you will need to cleanse/review the data. This might be the wrong way to go about it, but I would enter the transactions on an excel spreadsheet and pull the statements to reconcile the accounts and then use the clean data as part of your import.

I'm not sure how much time and effort you want to spend on the receipts, but you should be able to get copies of all the receipts on the credit card and anything you paid by check. I would have the AP accountant reach out to the vendors and ask for a copy of the bills/invoices. Otherwise you could dispute the credit card charges (haha this is not a nice thing to do, but sometimes necessary) and then they will be forced to provide the credit card company with some form of receipt, which is then sent to you.
