Specialist accountants Danbro are setting their sights on success in prestigious national awards for the accountancy sector in 2009 after being pipped at the post this year.
The firm, which specialises in working with contractors and freelancers had been shortlisted in the Small Firm of the Year and Best Use of Internet: Practice categories in the 2008 Accountancy Age Awards, which were announced on the evening of 12 November at a ceremony at Battersea Park Arena, London.
The awards recognise the very best accountants in business, practice and in the public and voluntary sectors across the UK.
Managing partner Damian Broughton said: “While we are disappointed not to have won, being shortlisted for two Accountancy Age awards is a real achievement in itself and demonstrates the dedication shown by the whole Danbro team. Now we are hoping to go a step further in 2009 and become an award winner.”
Danbro’s shortlisting for the awards was another significant event in an excellent year for the company. During 2008, Danbro has opened a London office, been ranked one of the fastest growing private companies in the UK in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 league table and rated in the top six in the best accountancy firm and best umbrella service categories by voters in a poll on the Contractor UK website.
Its high quality support was also recognised in an independent compliance audit by Professional Passport, which described Danbro as providing “compliant solutions combined with excellent customer service” and it received HM Revenue & Customs’ seal of approval after a successful December 2007 compliance visit.
For more information contact Danbro at their head office on 01253 600140 or their London office on 0207 836 8400.

Hey, this was fun. It’s like part 1 of the Money as Debt movie that shows how the goldsmith became a banker.
The classes are not hard. I bet you have done more harder college math classes. Accounting was invented by the same person who invented Algebra. So basically, it an equation. Revenue -expenses =Owner's Equity.
You did not specify what type of job you applying for. Accounting related job requires basic knowledge of accounting . So I would get those two classes out of the way. Also, knowledge of basic accounting software will be plus i.e. Quickbooks or Peachtree and Office 2007. The more accounting related skills you have to offer the easier it will be to land that first job.
Good Luck!
The accounting procedures are same both in Government and firms.
But the pressure of work will be far less in government as the work is set to a pattern, whereas the accounting in firms is commercially oriented !
Because most teachers aren’t very good….teachers…lol, silly really.
From a UK perspective we have three or four categories:
Unqualified
Qualified by experience
Accounting Technician
CCAB Qualified Accountant
Accounting Technician is a distinct qualification offered by The Association of Accounting Technicians.
Qualified Accountants are usually Chartered Accountants, Chartered Management Accountants, Chartered Certified Accountants or Chartered Public Finance Accountants
Qualified Accountants qualification is more advanced than a degree.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the free lessons.
It probably starts with you placing an order for some goods. When the goods arrive, you need to pass a journal entry in the purchases journal to record the purchase of merchandise inventory. This will find its way subsequently into the general ledger (GL). In the course of business, you'd need to make payments to other vendors and employees. These entries will be in the cash book and subsequently into the GL. When you make a sale, you need to pass journal entries too. These will be in the sales journal which will again find their way into the GL. When your customers pay you, these are again cash book entries, again ending up in the GL. From the GL you extract your trial balance, then pass adjusting journal entries, then you'll have your adjusted TB from which you can prepare your income statement and balance sheet. This is as brief as I can make it.
You’re a dolt. You come to an accounting video to talk shit about white people? Sorry we are smart enough to make money legitimately rather then killing, stealing and selling drugs. And even when we sell drugs, we don’t mix it Windex.
Get educated, it’s no one else’s fault if you let someone “siphon” or steal your money but your own. I’d of thought someone who was smart enough to correctly spell siphon would have more of an understanding.. Maybe you used a thesaurus (that is not a dinosaur)
This woman is good!
how come when i took accounting in school, it sounded so confusing?
Yes, it is a very good idea. I am the Dean of a business school, and I can tell you that this year, despite the bad economy, every single one of our Accounting majors who graduated last week has a job in their field.
CIA created crack, it’s a fact
the french run away if the numbers get to big?!?!?!
<—-falls down lol
The difference is that at a community college it will cost you much less. And they won't have advanced classes, If you have any questions, ask your community college and then talk to somebody from the department at your transfer school.
you don't say if you are attending school during the day or at night. If you are attending during the day, focus on your studies and try to get into a CPA program. Pass that and you join a public accounting firm for a min. 2 years. Learn all aspects of the audit and you can stay or move into private industry. Either way, its a win-win for you as CPA's are in greatest demand and highest on the incoming wage scale.
On the other hand, if you are taking evening classes, then by all means switch out of retail. There are 2 basic approaches, go to specific company web sites and check their job postings. Not sure of companies in your area? Go to the web and type in "companies located in NYC" for example.
The second approach is to find employment agencies specializing in entry level positions in your area. You can locate them rhe same way as the companies or you can look thru your local newspaper. The agency fee is typically paid by the employer, don't settle on one that wants a ffrom you.
probably because you care more about it now
Now I can understand why you drop out of school,don’t work,sell drugs,steal,beat your women,neglect your children,don’t vote,drain the welfare system,over crowd the prison system,exploit affirmative action,collect food stamps but somehow top all American ethnic groups in obesity, insist rap is music,believe OJ is innocent,wear your pants around your knees,refer to on another as nigger,believe the Feds created crack to feed to the blacks and the one that really annoys me pronounce ask as “axe”.
No- every country's economy and method of accounting is so different that there is no chance that we will have a universal accounting standard
