Simple Business Accounting is a simple but handy application that will allow small business owners to manage their own accounting easily without the need of hiring an accountant. The program features a very simple and intuitive, but not very attractive user interface that allows you to easily add and edit incomes and expenses, define income and expense accounts, as well as generate useful and clear reports of your business status. The application is fully customizable and flexible, allowing you to make exactly the bookkeeping you are looking for or need. What is more, all the information stored in the program can be backed up, restored, archived, dearchived, packed, reindexed and erased whenever you want. You can print any report you wish, set a password for the program for more privacy, set the account types and fiscal year, set the mileage rate, select the font, style and size for the reports, edit check layouts as well as buy checks and other supplies over the Internet. The program disappointed me by the fact that it has the button "Help" but there's no user guide or help file for beginners. As for the rest, I think the program is very complete and includes all the necessary options to manage a small business.
v4.1 [Jan 25, 2012]
New features in Version 4 include budgeting with a variety of budget reports that allow users to track income and expenses against a predefined budget. In this way, you will be able to compare your income and expenses to predefined benchmarks and know if you need to make adjustments to stay on track. Also new in version 4 is the ability to print checks. Simply enter the expense amount, fill in the check and SBA can print a check ready to be placed in a window envelop and mailed. Checking supplies are available at very competitive prices.
