Business Accountz Professional makes bookkeeping enjoyable and simple and adds Invoicing, Quotes, Estimates and customer tracking to the Basic system. You can see and edit everything you enter, and using Accountz Rapid Data Entry system, you will do it far more quickly than anything else currently available. Business Accountz Professional has all the features of the Basic edition plus full customer tracking. It includes the designer so you can create invoices, estimates, quotations, credit notes and delivery notes using your own logo and other graphics. You have full control over the design including all text, colours, fonts and tables. You can also use it with pre-printed stationery, but one of the beauties of Business Accountz Professional is that you don't need to buy expensive proprietary stationery, just use blank paper! Full customer tracking is added to this version of the range. Each customer can have an unlimited number of contacts, and each of those can be linked to files or folders on your computer. You can also see your complete customer history right back to day 1. And that includes all your quotes and estimates too. Accountz software is all about saving time, so common tasks such as converting quotes to invoices can be done with a single click. Tracking unpaid invoices is also straight forward, 1 click and you can see precisely what a customer owes you and how overdue they are. Individual terms can be set for different customers and you have the choice of traditional end of the month statements or a user defined number of days since the invoice was issued. If you have problems with credit control, adopting strict terms and the ability to see exactly who owes you what and sending statements should greatly increase your cash flow. Other features of Professional include preset transactions. You can set as many of these as you like and call them up with 2 clicks of the mouse. It is instant invoicing with the minimum of effort. You can also use them to input regular payments and transfers too. So for example, if you buy stationery on a regular basis, set up a preset, name it 'stationery' and call it up every time you need that kind of transaction. Enter the date and total amount and it is done. It is one of the things that makes accountz software the fastest in the world for data entry. All data from accountz software is cross-platform compatible, so if you use a Mac and your accountant uses a PC, no problem, you can share the data. Of course, you can export all reports including a full nominal ledger activity report and trial balance and email direct to your accountant if they would prefer that. One of the great features of the Business Accountz range of software is its live profit and loss and balance sheet. There is no posting or monthly closing down. Wherever you look, everything is up to date. Click on the Chart of Accounts and instantly see your turnover, gross and net profit. See how much you owe and how much you are owed. Check your bank balance. See your overall cash position. See your current VAT return. Know precisely where you are. And most of this is done with either 1 or 2 clicks of the mouse. Accountz is faster and easier because it saves you time and is easier to remember. That's why those who use Accountz software prefer it. By the way, if terms like nominal ledger sound like gobbledegook, no need to worry. Pretty much everyth
