Alpha Law Vantage for Solicitors Account

Alpha Law Vantage for Solicitors Account

Didn't find your answer?

Hello All,

Good afternoon.

I am looking help regarding posting of expenses and other entries for bookkeeping using Alpha Law Vantage Software for a Solicitor Company.

Has anyone used the software and able to guide me. I am new to software to do bookkeeping. Please PM if i can email or call.

Also there is no tuturials on the web and the support is not provided for accounting of transactions but for software issues only.

I am used to VT+ but this is so confusing.

I need to enter only solicitors expenses.

All of Petty Cash

Miscellaneous/Sundry expenses  paid by credit /debit card : only receipts

Payment to suppliers on invoices are fairly easy so I am ok on that.

Payment overseas for various expenses. (with without receipts)

Drawings on Account by partner.

Payment of Salary and wages.

Payment to HMRC - tax, VAT, fines, PAYE of employees.

Payment for purchase of Assets .

If any one can help me how to enter these in the software, i would really really appreciate.

Many thanks in advance.

Sorry to be blunt

but you've only waited 2 hours for a response!

You're asking a lot of fairly basic assistance. Surely the software supplier can provide training?

More bluntness.

Why not carry on using VT? Have you contracted to do a bookkeeping job that you are not sufficiently experienced to do? 

As neileg suggests, perhaps you should pay for some training.

I dont mind

Hello James, neileg,

Thanks and its ok to be blunt & fair.

I cannot use VT because its his choice of software. I am recently hired to do bookkeeping work. I can do it manual and VT but the workaround for this particular software is really confusing. I cannot get the heads and tails.

Yah the training is £800 per day for upto 5 persons. The employer is not willing to pay and I dont want to pay all. wouldnt mind my share. but again the employer is not willing to share too.

I am contracted to this temporary job.

I am asking for training and other help from fellow experienced and senior bookkeepers and accountants.

Is there any other forum or platform where i can learn same software for accounting?

Yes most of the things are basic but when you are stuck it seems big problem. Once you know it , it seems trivial. :(

As i have asked all my connected peoples and most seem unaware with this software and even solicitors accounting. I am only looking for bookkeeping part of accounting. I dont have to do his final accounts.

There is no manual and video training in web like for other softwares. So basically I have to decline the offer to do this job then it seems.

Any help is most welcome.

Thanks every one again.

ive used and trained people in this
Your basically asking for full training in the package for free.

I don't think you'll find anyone willing to help you, invest the time needed to show you how to competently use it and answer queries you have etc for free.

I tend to agree if you can't use the package you shouldn't have taken on the work. I'd say yhe person employing you will find it very difficult to find someone you could use this package as its not very user friendly and does everything back to front

I am just looking for that

Hello all,

so if there is no one willing to give help then that is also not a bad news. As i understand not everyone has time for it and for free.

So as i did say if you can PM me if I need to pay for the training.

At least if I know the time and cost involved to get the training then I can see if its worth taking the Job of bookkeeping with that particular software.

As i said is there third party training centres or firm with use of that software who can train for a fee.

I called the Vantage support and they said they only train to the clients on their premise.

I dont want to buy software just for that and Client seems to unwilling to pay £800 for one day training.

So any other firms/individuals / training centres there ..then I am willing take training provided the costs are not higher than the benefit.

Best Regards to All.
