Our preliminary accounting year is the calendar year, so the first accounts will be due at the end of 2009. So there's no rush. (Though in the mean time accurate record keeping is still of course essential.)
But like I said, I'll look at accounting software over the Christmas break.

Yeah I planned to investigate a few pieces of accounting software
over the
break. Currently the "accounts" are just a sub-folder of my inbox
(which is
perfectly manageable since there's not a lot too them at the moment).
As a registered company, you will need to produce actual account on a accruals basis, rather than just keeping receipts, etc. You can do all that once a year if you like (I think), but it's easier to keep it all in order as you go along. I think some investigation is, indeed, called for - good luck!
