I wouldn't put it through the books...and I wouldn't deal in cash...but a bottle of Champers is sent to their house...its what makes the world go round.

Not quite so obvious but they'll get a very nice bottle of champange or wine when I next take them out to a decent restaurant (and pick up the bill, obv).

Mutual back scratching
A chum got me in on the current gig and also paved the way for an above average rate for the job with the client .
Being of the old school I bunged him for his trouble - speaking to others he had helped in & recommended and gently bringing the topic up, they seemed suprised that this kind of thing goes on.
Does anyone else do this kind of mutual back-scratching? I see it as a finders fee and easily lost under petty cash in the company accountsTags: None
