Account Pro Description
Account Pro for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP is a user-friendly
and flexible multi-lingual accounting and finance planning
program.
Account Pro is available in two versions: Account Pro,
primarily intended for business use, and Account Pro Lite,
a simpler version. Click here for the differences.
Account Pro is capable of networking (up to 3 concurrent
users), has multi-currency functionality, the ability to
work with cost centers and projects, and it has a function
for automatic entry of tax and discount transactions.
The program is based on the principle of double-entry bookkeeping.
It can handle both, the British/American and the European
way of accounting.
The program is equally suitable for small to medium businesses,
institutions, and private users, who want to manage their
own money or the finances of an association or club.
The program comes with a number of standard charts of accounts.
These can very easily be adapted to particular user requirements.
Unneeded accounts can be deleted and any additionally required
ones can easily be inserted anywhere in the charts.
Accounting with Account Pro software is very easy. As opposed
to 'normal' accounting programs, where erroneous entries
must be neutralized (canceled) and corrected by additional
entries, Account Pro allows direct correction of such entries.
Furthermore, it avoids the terms 'Debit' and 'Credit' for
data entry. Instead, an amount sign is used, which makes
data entry faster and easier. Nevertheless, the displays
and printouts are in accordance with normal accounting terminology.
In addition to the normal accounting capabilities, the
program has special capabilities that allow efficient financial
planning and forecasting. Not only monthly budgets, but
also monthly forecasts can be entered for every expense
and revenue account. Monthly and yearly planning reports
facilitate an overview of the system as a whole. With these
features, realistic forecasts of the financial result at
the end of the accounting period can be made at any time.
An accounting period can have a length of between two days
and one year. It can start in any month and it may overlap
two calendar years.
