http://www.tbssoftware.com.au/retail/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=27&Itemid=52 on't all accounting packages do the same thing? Why is TBS software different?

There is a large variance in the effectiveness and ability of accounting software to help business owners. Most clients we talk to are completely fed up with their existing software because:

The software is too slow on a network or even just one computer! To get a basic multi-user system can cost thousands of dollars. The software is too complicated to learn and requires a lot of external training and help. The software simply doesn't have the controls needed to run their business efficiently.

Have you ever thought: "If only I had a button on my software that automatically did X"? At TBS software that's what we do, customize software to put the business owner in the drivers seat and at reasonable prices to boot. Clients find that a customisation will pay for itself very quickly by providing extra control or reducing labour costs. TBS software programs have been designed not only with the user in mind, but over the last 20 years it's been the users who request changes to make the software more efficient and easier to use. With TBS software you will:

Save time! This is a big one, imagine how long it takes (and therefore how much extra it costs) for your staff to send out debtor statements or manually update your selling margins product by product. TBS software automates these features and many more resulting in dramatic time & cost savings of up to days of labour each month. Save money! Cost control is a very big problem when it comes to small to medium business that perhaps don't have an in-house accounting team. TBS software helps you analyse and plan your cashflow plus gives you the best control of your stock levels and purchasing. We find our clients can normally create an extra 5% of revenue simply by controlling costs. If you turn over $4m per annum at 20% profit wouldn't you like to get an extra $40,000 each year just by monitoring your costs? Then think about the next 5-10 years there is a massive difference between good accounting software and the type of software that 'just gets the basics done'. Handle jobbing/manufacturing easier than ever. Track your job building costs and get an accurate overview of the cost and progress of your jobs with one click at any time! We find a lot of businesses that manufacture goods (e.g. a welding/fabrication company or computer networking consultancy firm) don't even track the labour costs taken to complete a job worked on by multiple employees. So how can you possibly know if you're in the red or in the black? Every business should have software to make this process easy.

The advantages of using a computerized accounting package such as MYOB accounting software.
[Articles home]

Let me start this article by saying I am a qualified accountant who has taught accounting at a variety of levels for over 18 years. I have also worked extensively as a business consultant for small and medium size enterprises. I am continually amazed when I come across a business either not using a computerized accounting package or using spread sheets to do their accounts. Therefore I decided to write a short article on the benefits of using a computerized accounting package. The package I recommend for small to medium business is MYOB (Mind Your Own Business) accounting software package. Small and medium sized businesses can now buy off the shelf accounting programs at remarkably low cost. Larger businesses will often have customized programs made for their business. The accounting programs carry out functions such as invoicing, dealing with payments, paying wages and providing regular accounting reports such as trading and profit and loss accounts and balance sheets. The introduction of computerized accounting systems provide major advantages such as speed and accuracy of operation, and, perhaps most importantly, the ability to see the real-time state of the companys financial position. In my experience I have never seen a business that has upgraded to a computerized accounting system return to paper based accounting systems. A typical computerized accounting package will offer a number of different facilities. These include: On-screen input and printout of sales invoices Automatic updating of customer accounts in the sales ledger Recording of suppliers invoices Automatic updating of suppliers' accounts in the purchases ledger Recording of bank receipts Making payments to suppliers and for expenses

 Automatic updating of the general ledger Automatic adjustment of stock records Integration of a business database with the accounting program Automatic calculation of payroll and associated entries Computerized accounting programs can provide instant reports for management, for example: Aged debtors summary a summary of customer accounts showing overdue amounts Trial balance, trading and profit and loss account and balance sheet Stock valuation Sales analysis Budget analysis and variance analysis GST/VAT returns Payroll analysis When using a computerized accounting system the on computer, input screens have been designed for ease of use. The main advantage is that each transaction needs only to be inputed once, unlike a manual double entry system where two or three entries are required. The computerized ledger system is fully integrated. This means that when a business transaction is inputed on the computer it is recorded in a number of different accounting records at the same time. The main advantages of a computerized accounting system are listed below: Speed data entry onto the computer with its formatted screens and built-in databases of customers and supplier details and stock records can be carried out far more quickly than any manual processing. Automatic document production fast and accurate invoices, credit notes, purchase orders, printing statements and payroll documents are all done automatically. Accuracy there is less room for errors as only one accounting entry is needed for each transaction rather than two (or three) for a manual system. Up-to-date information the accounting records are automatically updated and so account balances (e.g. customer accounts) will always be up-to-date. Availability of information the data is instantly available and can be made available to different users in different locations at the same time. Management information reports can be produced which will help management monitor and control the business, for example the aged debtors analysis will show which customer accounts are overdue, trial balance, trading and profit and loss account and balance sheet. GST/VAT return the automatic creation of figures for the regular GST/VAT returns. Legibility the onscreen and printed data should always be legible and so will avoid errors caused by poor figures. Efficiency better use is made of resources and time; cash flow should improve through better debt collection and inventory control. Staff motivation the system will require staff to be trained to use new skills, which can make them feel more motivated. Further to this with many off-theshelf packages like MYOB the training can be outsourced and thus making a particular staff member less critical of business operations.

 Cost savings computerized accounting programs reduce staff time doing accounts and reduce audit expenses as records are neat, up-to-date and accurate. Reduce frustration management can be on top of their accounts and thus reduce stress levels associated with what is not known. The ability to deal in multiple currencies easily many computerized accounting packages now allow a business to trade in multiple currencies with ease. Problems associated with exchange rate changes are minimized. In summary if you have not computerized your accounting you should seriously consider doing so. I chose to train in MYOB after reviewing all the small to medium business accounting packages on the market. In my view MYOB was the best overall package. A free 90 day trial version of MYOB accounting software can be downloaded from your own countrys MYOB website. This trial version is the full version but any business set up with it can only have entries entered for 90 days; after that, purchase of the software is required. I strongly recommend you download a version and take a look.

MYOB Accounting Software The Advantages Of Expert Training

Using accounting software that doesnt perform properly in your business can be stressful and tiring to any business manager. If the software is proving hard to operate, business managers may end up wasting precious working hours trying to figure out how to operate the system most efficiently only to come to the conclusion that the accounting software is not really appropriate for their business at all. If this sounds familiar to your business, or the business that you work for, it may be time to look into hiring a MYOB Support and Training company. The Mind-Your-Own-Business package is a highly popular and effective accounting software package that has been designed to make business life easier. With over one million Australians and New Zealanders using this accounting system, this accounting software has packages that cater from small at-home businesses to large international organisations. MYOB accounting software can be purchased both from their official website, and also electronic computer stores, but it would be most beneficial to purchase the software from a Support and Training expert. This is because they can assist you with choosing the right software for your business, and can also install the programme and provide training.

Support and Training companies can help your business find the best software product to suit your needs, and can supply the package to you. Along with installing the product to function efficiently, Support and Training experts can provide training to those who may require it. For those businesses that have existing MYOB accounting software, Support and Training companies can still provide training on the existing software. Whether it be you as a business manager who needs the training, or a number of staff members, it is best to hire an expert company for training, rather than waste work hours trying to learn or teach yourself. Before you go out and buy an accounting software package from an electronic computer store, consider contacting a MYOB Support and Training company to help you through the process. With their installation and expert advice service, accounting will be made easy for your business, and your money will be well spent.
