209114 2004-01-29 05:54:00 How about CashBook 4.0 - it's free! Greg S (201)
209115 2004-01-29 08:30:00 Having written two books on accounting program (but still humble) I have to say that small business wants very simple, very cheap, and mind bogglingly reliable.
MYOB isn't a bad option. They just about all charge for support because they end up doing people's gst returns for them. You want cheap then get it second hand on trademe or something like that. Older versions work fine (last couple) except payroll. Don't use computerised payroll unless you really have to.
cheers.

Umm - my version appeared to be free - perhaps it's only free for home use or something? (I don't actually use it as I created my own stuff using MSExcel), so, sorry if I misled anyone

209118 2004-01-29 08:52:00 well,im going to try it,maybe it just has a nag screen?

$120 american is a bit steep though.


I could buy 2 games for that.

meh....my priorities are way messed up.

209119 2004-01-29 09:00:00 Just had a look in a software wholesale list i have access to and this cashbook program is available locally for less then it costs to buy direct from the publisher.


incase anyone was interested.

209120 2004-01-29 09:32:00 I have been using cashbook complete for the past 18 months. Find it brilliant, will do invoicing, gst returns, stock inventory and untold different reports on profit/ loss, sales figures etc. You can use it free for limited use i.e. GST returns, invoices, casbook. Full use of reports etc and you have to pay to enable it. Very easy to set up and use. Peter M (852)
209121 2004-01-29 10:01:00 Ok question time,
this is a stab in the dark about what you are looking for ok?

in my business we use Banklink 5 ?
it has net capabilities.

our accountant put us on to it, fairly $$$ but i find it ok, has way to much garbage on it for me, and we had to install it twice since the junk computer killed itself,
but i think it is too much for what we need, but it down loads it all off the bank for me to reconcile, i can do GST, and i have accounts numbers to log on to all cheque written.
but i think something simpler would have been better, as i dont use half the features on it.
i can also lock it so no one can access it,

not sure wether telling you this is asking to help me or asking to help you,??

i hate anything to do with accounts and im it when it come to this stuff....

useless
and i have given you no useful info, just muddled about on a banking prog.

209122 2004-01-29 10:07:00 Cashbook Complete is great, we use that at work.

Nzho was created by an ex-builder who wanted something that'd be easy for himself (At the time he had no knowledge of accounting) so he grabbed an accounting-literate friend and wrote Nzho, designed for people who are new to accouting! He's also progressed on to write NZPro, and recently, AstarlaWorks Premier which is for the more advanced among us... Not me... :p
