Small Business Accounts is the brainchild of carpenter Andy Constant, who started off shopping around for software to look after the number-crunching bits of the business but couldn't find one with the features that he wanted. So, being used to making things, Andy applied his creative juices to programming and Small Business Accounts is the result. Easy reading Again, the documentation is the product of a dot matrix printer, with a cover a shade of yellow guaranteed to send you running for the sunglasses. Inside, thankfully, the documentation is the conventional and easier to read black-on-white. What, no words? Mistake number one. Somehow the documentation and the software got separated, ahem, so it was time to try Smali Business Accounts the intuitive way (you mean you lost it - ed). Just how far could you get without the manual? (A subsequent browse through showed the manual to be comprehensive and easy to follow.) Use your intuition Small Business Accounts is intuitive. The good news is that you can follow the flow of the program without constantly refering to the documentation and can cobble together a reasonable facsimile of your yearly accounts without constant reference to the book. All the nasties like VAT and paying out were there but they were less painful thanks to a friendly interface that had clearly jivolved thought on the part of the programmer. Monitoring your progress A nice touch was the monitor function that keeps to hand a tabulated list of your previous steps through the program. This allows you to see at a glance what you've done recently and if necessary, step backwards if you need to redo anything. AA |
