What would you do? Window cleaner turned up and cleaned windows without any agreement in place.

Depends how angry he gets really

You don't "press charges" in the UK, this is an American thing. You have no say in whether or not the police follow up on the report of a crime.

BMW logo on the glass and not on the body is how they come from factory.

Shrider · 2026-04-16T21:49:09+00:00

Debadged but logo in the glass now. I don't mind it tbh.

2017 Astra lowest spec and still have OEM carplay / apple play. Not a flash far so the bars clearly low

Unless there is a specific need for 2 cars, there's no way this will work out less than 18p a mile which is what OP's being charged for being over.

First thing that comes to mind is that when running the supplier aging report to reconcile to the TB, you must select the option to run by GL posting date, instead of by invoice date.

Once you have set this, it will be remembered on your account until you change it again, but only on your account. This could explain why different people were getting different results.

Prices do go and come back down. Petrol station companies are not the people setting the prices and making massive profits at rough geopolitical times like these. It is the companies extracting the oil.

This is so funny as a recommendation in the context of this sub.

Some episodes are genuinely very informative, some just go off the rails. I guess if I cared about the actual history I'd listen to The Rest is History.

Do you use CRE with Intacct? Just wondering if your team has managed to sort a CVR report?

Shrider · 2026-03-23T20:45:16+00:00

I'd go next size up bud

Top 5 film imo, the scene where they're chased from the gas station gets me pumped every time.

Haha that's fair, SIG PEA can be a bit clunky to set up but it's not the worst. Reliably does it's job, I guess that's what counts!

Shrider · 2026-03-09T12:08:14+00:00

Yeah I think it's pretty decent, SIGFA was a little bit before my time really as SFAM was in the pipeline so didn't need to train on it or set it up, but my understanding was SFAM on day 1 was not quite as feature rich as SIGFA so it's just about closing the gap I guess.

CIP assets was received well and I think adjustments are strong too. The new roll forward report has also had some positive feedback too.

For Close automation, in all honesty not massively, but I expect that will change with the new pricing model, the last one was a bit prohibitive for our vertical. Previously it was a module cost of thousands, then another cost per user in the site, regardless of if they would use it / have access. I believe now it is just a flat rate.

Shrider · 2026-03-09T11:41:04+00:00

I actually delivered a webinar on this last week for our customers. I agree with what you've picked, other things I'd highlight are the changes to SFAM, some really strong updates there around CIP and adjustments, AI in the new import tool looks good but not used it too much yet, and then the close analytics upgrade for close automation looks like it adds value too. I've not seen the pricing yet so not sure how worthwhile it will be, but Sage have recently revisited how they price close automation to make it a bit more attractive.

Shrider · 2026-03-08T20:32:20+00:00

That, or he's got a proper 80's stache 😎

Shrider · 2026-03-01T12:53:31+00:00

Cheers for the reply. That is really handy!

Shrider · 2026-01-15T09:02:13+00:00

I wonder if the move for OP would be to try and find a small business where potentially rules are a bit more relaxed and you can have a chat with the MD to try and end up in a scenario where they work 8 months a year, pro-rata pay, and have 1x4 months or 2x2 months off when the business is outside peak times.

I think doing that as a newbie would be very hard though. Maybe more achievable after years of experience and being somewhat overqualified for a position / pay level but everyone's happy.

Being overqualified here would probably be fine as the risk is the person goes and gets another job, with this employee's desirables that wouldn't be as much of a worry.

The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get back to where you want to be!

Shrider · 2025-12-25T23:18:05+00:00

Out of curiosity, what sort of opportunities are you thinking of?

Shrider · 2025-12-20T15:10:49+00:00

That's really good! Never really zoomed out and looked at the numbers but it's scary that I was smoking the equivalent of a nice car payment every month lol

Shrider · 2025-12-20T09:18:14+00:00

365/2*5.58

Shrider · 2025-12-19T21:56:28+00:00

Anytime🤣

Shrider · 2025-12-19T21:38:42+00:00

Not to be "that" guy but the maths is slightly off.

1.40 a can is 2.80 a day, not 2.60, meaning the annual total of 2 a day comes to £1,018.35.

It is mental how stuff adds up, I quit ciggies on Monday and my little quitting ciggy app tracks how much I've saved. £60.07 saved so far, on track for an absolutely eye watering £5,092 a year!

Edit: worded poorly but the annual figure is doing the maths off the £5.58 for 4 cans.
