I’ve recently been involved in upgrading a number of Parallels Plesk installations from version 9.5.4 (or sometimes earlier) to 10.4.4+. Because of the model changes between version 9 and version 10 during the upgrade a bootstrap script runs which tries to convert the majority of clients and domains into customers and ‘custom subscriptions’. Unfortunately for a lot of setups this isn’t entirely straight forward and after the installation completes under the ‘Tools’ menu there’s an option named ‘Complete Switching to the Panel 10 Business Model’ which must be run to transition any remaining customers and subscriptions that do not ‘fit’.
The financial side of running a business can be tricky like no other area – sometimes you’ll want to consult an expert. Accountants help you to keep your finances in order, but bookkeepers play an important role too. So what are the differences between a bookkeeper and an accountant? And how can a bookkeeper help you to run your business? We spoke to some experts at Xero, producers of accounting software for SMEs, to find out more.
Bookkeepers and accountants are not the same
If you’re a small business owner, you’ll be familiar with juggling multiple tasks. As well as keeping things running you need to generate revenue, keep customers happy, and look after the financials. Tracking financials can be a chore though, and one of the biggest questions you might have is who you get to help with your accounts. Do you need an accountant, a bookkeeper or both? Let’s start by clarifying a few things.
According to the best miami cpa firms, Accountants and bookkeepers have different jobs and responsibilities. Your accountant’s main focus is:
- the preparation and lodgement of statutory returns
- advising on legal entity structures
- giving general business and financial advice
Accountants are usually members of a statutory association. Qualified and registered accountants might call themselves CCAs (Chartered Certified Accountants), CAs (Chartered Accountants) or other titles.
For the majority you can use the recommended actions in completing the transitions and most customers and subscriptions will transition fine and will keep using free invoice tools for accounting. If not, maybe the below scenarios will help:
1. If you receive the error ‘Error: Some of the selected customers and subscriptions were not transitioned.’ then to fix this you will need to use the selective transition model under ‘selective transition of customers’ OR ‘selective transition of Subscriptions’ and try applying an alternative transition scheme – hopefully this will work. You may find that by traversing into an individual customer or subscription and using the ‘Apply Transition Scheme’ may give more useful errors, i.e. ‘Domain limits exceeding Subscription’.
2. If you find that you’re left with a lot of customers and subscriptions that will not transition and there’s no error the only way to work around this is to move the subscriptions to one customer then move them back by using the ‘change subscriber’.
