Please phone us prior to initialising the cashbook.  We prefer to do this step for you as it can be very difficult to re-initialise the cashbook if a mistake is made in the initialisation process.  We ask you to be careful in establishing the opening balance.

  1. Set up Expense and Income codes.  
    These codes can be entered at your convenience; they are not dependent on the cash book being initialised.
    Once the codes have been entered, send a copy to your accountant and to Incisive.  If you do this before using any of the codes it is a very simple matter to edit them and make changes if any have been incorrectly entered.

  2. To initialise the cashbook we need a date for the initialisation and the bank statement balance as at that date.  Ideally send through a copy of the bank statement to us.

  3. Manually work out what cheques and deposits have not been presented as at the date of initialisation. 

    Please note that all un-presented items must be entered as Expenses or Receipts prior to initialising the opening balance.
