When it comes to needing simple, streamlined accounting software, it's impossible to look past Accomplish's CashManager. Regardless of the industry you work in, there will always be a use for the easy-to-use interface and simple functions of the program to keep you and your business in a healthy financial state.
Not only this, but effectively using CashManager can provide you with a timeless accounting option. Ruth Magee's husband has been working in the earthmoving industry for 56 years, with no intention of stopping any time in the near future.
Earthwork involves the movement of dirt and other materials through the use of a bulldozer or motor scraper. Things like building roads, making dams and clearing farms are all within the scope of an earthmover's repertoire. This work takes the business up and down the country, working on sites from the top of the North island to the bottom of the South - and everywhere in between.
Ruth said that prior to finding CashManager software, she used to take care of the business accounts through long hand, which could take a long period of time and required pinpoint accuracy in order to avoid mistakes and complications at the end.
She discovered CashManager through her accountant back in 1990 and has been using it successfully for the last 24 years. Bank reconciliations, financial statements and filing GST have become far easier for her since making the transition.
"I think it's just so easy to follow and user-friendly, because I am not very up on computers. I used to do everything long hand before they showed me CashManager, and now everything is just so much faster and simpler."
Furthermore, the Accomplish support line has been invaluable for her over the years. Whenever she runs into an issue or complication, she simply calls the experts who can help her get back on track.
And would she recommend the software to others?
"Absolutely. Anyone talking about having problems with their accounting, I tell them to get CashManager. I love it."
