Accomplish CashManager

Want to keep track of your business cashflow, but you're finding conventional accounting packages too complicated? Do you feel intimidated by terms like accruals, capital reserves, accumulated depreciation and non-current liabilities?

Or are you having difficulty in presenting your books to your accountant in a suitable format - which they can import into their computer and therefore get the job done quicker?

Then CashManager is the answer.

CashManager is a cashbook package (with an optional integrated customer/supplier invoicing add-on module) ideal for any type of small business.

Because the standard version of CashManager isn't a full general ledger system (but still accumulates data in a double entry form behind the scenes), it is the ideal package for small business operators who don't have an in-depth understanding of double entry bookkeeping. Data entry screens are intuitive and have been designed for maximum efficiency. Reports are cashflow-based, and therefore easily understood by non-accountants.

CashManager is the sort of package that many accountants want their small business clients to use. This is because they are guaranteed of receiving usable reports or data disks at the end of the year.
