Accounting & books
41 step-by-step guides for accounting & books.
Add a supplier
Set up a supplier, the businesses your firm buys from, with their name and TRN so you can record bills against them and reclaim VAT.
How to turn on your books
Turn on IzzyTap's built-in accounting so every invoice, payment, and expense is recorded to your ledger automatically.
Edit or deactivate a supplier
Update a supplier's details, or mark one inactive so it no longer clutters the new-bill list, while keeping all its past bills on record.
Understanding your chart of accounts
See the full list of accounts your books are organised into, grouped in plain English into what you own, owe, earn, and spend.
Bill statuses: open, partial, paid, cancelled
What Open, Part-paid, Overdue, Paid and Cancelled mean on the Bills page, and when a bill moves from one to the next.
How to read the trial balance
Read the report that lists every account's balance side by side and proves your books are internally consistent.
How to read your Profit and Loss
Read the report that shows what your firm earned minus what it spent over a period, ending in your profit or loss.
Why a bill shows as overdue
How a bill's due date makes it turn overdue on its own, and the only way to clear the red flag.
How to read your Balance Sheet
Read the snapshot of what your firm owns, what it owes, and what is left for the owners on a given date.
Record a part-payment on a bill
Pay a supplier bill in instalments, and how the balance and Part-paid status update after each payment.
Choose which account pays a bill
When the 'Paid from' picker appears, choose the bank account the money left, or record that it came from petty cash.
How to record a supplier bill
Enter a cost your firm owes a supplier but has not paid yet, so it is added to your accounts payable and your books stay accurate.
