A
good basic accounting software program should enable the user to:
- Maintain a chart
of accounts in the general ledger.
- Have a transaction entry screen.
- Allow for lookups of past transactions and
account history.
- Have different modules for:
- Accounts Payable
- Accounts Receivable and Invoicing
The
software should also allow for:
I've used some very complicated software packages such as QAD
Manufacturing Pro and Trans4m, and also Peachtree, which is not as
complicated. But, if you're looking for good, very easy
to use software
that can run
your business or your individual information,
check into Medlin Accounting. You can try it for free at:
This very basic accounting software has all the things you need to get
started. I
believe it runs in the RAM memory of your computer and only saves when
you exit or if you manually save, so it's very fast.
You can download the free version, and if you like it you can buy it
for very cheap. The free version puts a note on the reports
that it's a trial version. I think this the only difference
between the free and purchased versions. I only use the
general ledger module, so I'm not sure about the other modules.
Print out or read the program manual to get started. You can
use the chart of accounts that comes with it and just modify it to fit
your needs.
I use it for my personal needs and it works quite well. It's
a great basic program and something to get started with. You
can even use it for education purposes. I used it when I was
going to college to check how entries flowed through to the financial
statements.
I don't think it's a very secure program and is lacking in internal
controls. A person can go back and change entries that were made,
without an audit trail of any kind. So, in that respect it's
lacking, but if you don't care about that, then it should work well for
you.
If you want a more secure and more professional software, look at these
easy
to use programs.
