Easy business record keeping.  Possible, or an oxymoron?  Are you running a business on the go?   If you’re using a smartpone, iPod Touch or iPad, there could be an easy way to record your business expenses.

Several companies have recognised that keeping paper records is a chore you don’t want to face at the end of a busy day, and developed apps to help.  Some of these have been around for a while, some are free, and some are simpler than others. You can choose which is best for you.

So, if your business is not VAT registered and you want a simple solution for recording income and expenses, why not try them out?

HMRC lists a few on their website here:  http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/softwaredevelopers/mobile-apps/record-keeping.htm

There are many others including https://www.expensify.com/, which can be used by employees to record expenses and submit claims.

Whichever you use, remember to download, back-up or save your data regularly.
