    Ignore year end stock and the trial balance should agree.

    Thank you, I have taken the end of year stock out of the trial balance? But it still does not balance by £195.00

    Thank you

    It seems you ignored the stock at start. (149+46=195)
    Please check your question again.
    Since debits are short, you are perhaps missing some debit item.
