Check email.\n\nSort your tasks and projects --do the SHORTEST and SIMPLEST ones first.  Remember to log your time for each task.  Most of these are done on the computer.  Tax research itself is normally done on the computer nowadays.  A lot of the complicated accounting is done on "computerized spreadsheets" such as "Excel."  A lot of the accounting records reviewed and organizaed by an accountant these days are electronic in nature ("Quick Books" or "Quicken" or one of the computerized packages).  Most accountants and all young CPA's are very good with computers and databases.\n\nDocument your answers, research, and calculations (usually done electronically).\n\nAttend any training or meetings necesary.\n\nTalk to clients or other accountants on the phone about their problems and answer their questions.\n\nReview your time log before leaving for the day to insure its accuracy (this directly affects who will be billed for how much work).\n\nLeave at the end of the day.

As the head office is dealing with most of the transactions, there is no need to maintain much books in the branch. A petty cash book and a bank book for your local bank will be enough. An imprest system of accounting will be suitable for these type of organizations.

getting hold of customers and asking them to settle their debts, you'll probably start in processing of sales orders and invoicing, which is simple accounting as you will just raise invoices from orders received and enter into the debtors individual accounts, your company will have to first of all show you their entire debtors system from input to output, you must remember that the accounts receivable department is one of the core departments of any business if sales are made on credit of course.\n\nyou must first find out about their system and where you fit into the system, they will allocate your responsibilities and tell you what they expect of you, but accounts receivable is pretty simple you'll get into it very easily, good luck

Its not something that can be explained completely in a small space, but the basic idea is that you're carefully keeping track of all money coming in and going out.  \n\nYou might consider taking a class at your local community college if you want to learn some of the techniques that have been used in the past.\n\nBut, the easiest way of doing it in the modern age is to get a bookkeeping computer software program like QuickBooks, which is the standard for most small businesses in America.  Best of luck to you.

First get the business logic in hands or the documentation if you have, because you might need to redesign it again.\nBut if you do want to keep the client/server by it self and you know how the system works, then you can create a web services touching some of the important business logic.

While what you want to do could be done with Access, programming Access to do it -- make the forms, the queries and reports needed -- is very difficult, if you don't have fairly advanced database / Access skills.\n\nAlso, you're going to want this product to have rock-solid support -- because once you start using it, you'll be tied to it, and if it fails, you'll need it fixed ASAP.\n\nAs a result, you're not going to find something like what you are asking for out there for free, and having it custom programmed is going to cost more than buying it off the shelf -- at least, if the programmer is worth his salt.\n\nInstead, you should look for an off-the-shelf solution.\n\nQuickbooks -- http://www.intuit.com -- is one option; it technically is bookkeeping software, but it has advanced inventory management features and can handle purchase orders / autodepleting inventory based on purchase orders.\n\nIt will cost several hundred dollars to purchase, but you will find, again, that even so, it's one of the more affordable solutions.\n\nShort of that, there are lots of other software packages out there; most will cost even more than Quickbooks.\n\nA final option might be to find a college student who is in a database administration or programming course, and see if he's be willing to build this for you on the cheap. But remember, you get what you pay for.

Quickbooks is really popular, but I've found that Microsoft Money is MUCH simpler and does the job if you have an accountant.\nPeachtree is another popular one.
