So BACS isn't free - its an hour of your time - and current willy waving posts indicate thats £60 P/H

or even at minimum wage thats costing you £10.50 + pension etc...

Darran

But the wife isn’t earning £60 per hour  like already mentioned admin is always going to be needed the bigger the business the longer it will take but checking off payment s is a very quick process.

Read the post - I did say paying wages @ minimum wage etc..

but i'm sure you will tell me you don't pay the wife.

thankfully we have choices - those that want to use bacs and then do admin and those who like the fully automated go careless approach

all depends on your mentality regards time/money balance

Also I always reconsile the GC payments too, so no time saved really for me.  Always worth checking in case there is an issue.  I remember someone on here a few years back who had just realised one of his clients payments never went through which meant a years worth of free cleans had been done.

I can't rest my mind if I just leave it to it's automatic devices.

well your  talking  about 30 - so I see that there is no real issue - either way

Exactly Dazmondo. All small businesses do admin etc. I do mine when I get home and I know it's all up to date. I couldn't bare doing it all in one day on a Friday though.

So are you saying that there is no admin with your business?.. doing quotes, keeping records , tax ,vat, rams , insurance and so the list goes on , sorting out who has  paid  and who owes and crossing that off a list is just a few  muinits  per week with hundreds of jobs per week . You still need to keep an eye on go cardless payments from what ones who use it tell me ,my website  manager uses it and says it’s not fool proof.

So you have no intigrationwith bacs - surely that’s a fair bit of your time checking payments

Darran

Go careless is great but bacs is free and with squeegee I can reconcile around 120 transactions an hr which seems to work out cheaper than gocardless fees at the moment until the bank start charging per bacs payment which some already do
