{ Advert: Accounting made easy }

We know running a business is hard enough. The last thing
you need is more paperwork, bureaucracy.

That's why Elan and Co have made it easy for you.

We provide an online accounting service with no additional
cost to you. This gives us easy access to your bank
accounts, cutting down on paperwork and making your finance
hassle free. We can then provide you with monthly management
reports. Every month you'll know exactly what your profit is
and how your balance sheet looks - leaving you free to run
your business and live your life!

In addition we recommend that you take up one of our
book-keepers. Too often book-keepers go on maternity leave,
need to be supervised and trained. Our book-keepers would be
more efficient, have the technical capability and you will
be able to go paperless. If you hand over this role to us
you will save on cost, as the money spent on employing
some-one is more then using our book-keeper. You will save
on your human resources not having to re-employ and sort out
salaries.

You will have up to date software, and one point of contact
for all your financial needs.

Packages start from �50 + VAT per month.

Our packages are tailored to suit the needs of each
individual client.

MORLEY CHAMBER ORCHESTRA
Thursday 11 December
7.45pm at Morley College, 61 Westminster Bridge Road; free
Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) 250th anniversary concert,
to include Overture Le temple de la gloire and Suite from
Les Boreades. December's concert continues the Morley
tradition of performing some of the lesser-known music from
the Baroque period. Rameau is a key figure in this period of
music history, and although French Baroque music has
received increased attention in recent years his music is
still not performed as often as that of his German
contemporaries. He first came to fame as a music theorist
with the publication of his Treatise on Harmony in 1722. His
operas came later and established him as a revolutionary and
forward thinking composer. He had fallen out of fashion by
the end of the 18th century but has enjoyed a great revival
in interest in recent years. Le temple de la gloire is an
opera-ballet first performed in Versailles in 1745 while Les
Boreades is a late work that remained unperformed in
Rameau's lifetime.
