Collins A24 Series Analysis Book 8 Money Column - 10208

Collins A24 Series Analysis Book - 8 Money Column

The Collins A24 Series Analysis Book with 8 Money Columns is the eight-category analysis format in the Collins A24 range — eight blank money columns for any task requiring more than four categories but fewer than ten. Eight columns is the practical sweet spot for a complete payroll analysis, a four-line budget-versus-actual layout, a BAS working paper across the main GST labels, or cost tracking across eight departments or job types. The Collins 3880 range (the traditional series) tops out at five money columns — the A24 8 Money Column is the natural next step for any bookkeeping task that outgrows five categories without needing a full ten. Collins — Australia's most trusted name in commercial account books.

APPLICATIONS — WHAT EIGHT COLUMNS COVERS

• Payroll (8 components) — Ordinary Hours / Ordinary Pay / Overtime Pay / Gross Wages / PAYG Withholding / Superannuation Guarantee / Allowances / Net Pay; row totals verify gross-to-net; column totals give payroll cost per component; Fair Work Act requires 7-year retention of payroll records
• Payroll by employee (8 employees, 1 column each) — one column per employee; period earnings across 8 staff tracked in one opening; column totals give each employee's earnings; cross-cast confirms total payroll
• 4 budget lines × Budget/Actual = 8 columns — revenue and three cost lines each with Budget and Actual columns; variance visible without a separate column; monthly, quarterly or project budget tracking
• BAS working paper (8 labels) — G1 Total Sales / G3 GST-Free / 1A GST Collected / G10 Capital Purchases / G11 Non-Capital Purchases / 1B GST Paid / Net GST / PAYG Withholding; column totals for the quarter post directly to the BAS; cross-cast confirms arithmetic before lodgement
• Expense analysis (8 categories) — Rent / Utilities / Insurance / Telephone / Stationery / Vehicle / Professional Fees / Other; column totals give period spending per category; feeds directly into profit and loss preparation
• Income by 8 revenue streams — one column per income source or product line; column totals show revenue contribution per stream; row totals confirm daily or weekly batch totals
• Departmental cost allocation (8 cost centres) — every expense allocated to one of eight departments, branches or projects; column totals give cumulative cost-centre spend; cross-cast confirms no allocations missed
• Job costing (8 simultaneous jobs) — labour, materials, subcontractors and overhead allocated per job; column totals give running job cost summaries; for construction, trades and project services
• Sales analysis (8 categories/territories/representatives) — period and cumulative totals per column; row totals confirm daily or weekly batches
• 2 entities × 4 columns — two related businesses or SMSF funds side by side, 4 columns each; keeps both entities in one opening
• 4 weeks × 2 columns — monthly with two metrics per week (e.g., Sales and Returns); four weekly pairs = 8 columns
• 8 cash floats or bank accounts — each column is one float or account; column running totals give each balance; total of all columns reconciles to total cash held

THE STEP UP FROM 5 COLUMNS

• The Collins 3880 range stops at 5 Money Column (SKU 10877) — for tasks that outgrow five categories, the A24 8 Money Column is the natural next step
• Why not jump straight to 10 columns? — 8 columns avoids carrying unused columns for businesses with exactly 6, 7 or 8 categories; fewer blank columns means better-used paper and a tighter cross-cast
• Column width — 8 columns on an A4 (or wider) page gives more width per column than 10-, 12-, or higher-column books; easier to write large amounts clearly with good decimal alignment
• Hard cover equivalent — Collins 61 SER A4 8 Money Column Hard Cover (SKU 13061) is the same column count in the 61 SER hard cover series; consider if a durable hard cover is required

CROSS-CAST VERIFICATION

Row totals equal verified transaction totals. Column totals sum to the same figure as the sum of all row totals. At eight columns, the cross-cast is fast enough to run at the end of every session — catching errors when the entries are still fresh rather than at period end.
