Clever Solutions Ltd will be organising free workshops with the aim of providing entrepreneurs and business administrators with the skills necessary to handle basic bookkeeping tasks in a company.

The first workshop will take place in mid-January 2014 and will teach participants how to carry out a number of bookkeeping tasks using Clever Accounting, an online accounting software that is customised for local taxes and regulations.

“Knowing how to keep track and manage the finances in a business is crucial to a company’s success,” said Carmelo Romano, managing director at Clever Solutions Ltd. “Unfortunately, many small businesses see accounting as an expense because they get very little value from having their books done for them.

“By further educating the market and creating success stories, we are looking to increase awareness of how one can make well-informed financial business decisions.

“Having access to the right skills and the right software are two important steps a business can take to improve decision-making in the company,” said Mr Romano.

Prior to the workshops, participants working in local micro-enterprises may also apply for a 12-month free subscription to the Clever Accounting software. Clever Solutions Ltd is waiving the subscription fees for 100 companies.

Individuals interested in a free subscription may apply at www.cleveraccounting.com/free100.

Clever Accounting provides small businesses with an easy-to-use and secure tool to handle various accounting tasks such as invoicing, bank reconciliation, VAT returns, credit control and reporting.

The company recommends that business owners take an active interest in the finances of their business using Clever Accounting, while at the same time work with certified accountants for tax and advisory services.
