Imagine having a 'Too Hard Basket' in your accounting software where you can file problems for your accountant to sort out. It is a good idea and one that has been incorporated into this new player in the accounting software market -- with a subtle change.The developers have called it the 'I Don't Know Bin' rather than the 'Too Hard Basket' because there is nothing too hard about EzyCashBook+. In reality it is just a suspense account and at the end of the month (or accounting period) an electronic copy can be sent off to your accountant to be sorted out. Not only does it save a lot of extra work and confusion at tax time for the business operator, it solves a lot of problems for the accountant who can deal with the situation as it happens rather than having to back track at the end of the year.
The developers say the program has been designed by accountants to be as easy as possible to use and normally that would be enough to make most people cringe.
But it does come with a comprehensive guide for first time users and most people should be able to come to grips with it without the need for expensive trainers to teach them how to use it.
Each screen has an open Help Menu down one side so assistance is always at hand.
Unlike any of the big name brands on the market, EzyCashBook+ comes with a comprehensive 'plain English' business library that covers subjects as diverse as dealing with the ATO, negotiating contracts and buying and selling business.
There are 'How To's' on everything the average business owner is ever going to want to know, along with articles and forms, all in plain English.
When you get down to the nitty gritty of the software you will find all of the functions a business bookkeeper requires including: integration with Internet banking; bank and credit card reconciliation; automatic GST reporting; Cash or Accrual accounting; single or double entry; split transactions; a general ledger; budgeting; sales quotations; invoicing; credit notes; purchase orders; simple stock control and more than 30 standard reports including Income & Expenses, and Assets & Liabilities.
