NoAccountant

Small Business Do-It-Yourself Accounting Software

NoAccountant is a software project that started as an internal need for a Windows™ accounting package that combined many good features of several applications already on the market while avoiding the cumbersome aspects. NoAccountant has been in use internally since the beginning of the 1996 fisacal year with features and updated made as needed.

There are no plans at this time to market NoAccountant externally. However, it is currently in a functional Beta release and interested small businesses may obtain a free copy by contacting DAXaCK associates.

The philosophies behind the development of NoAccountant are: SIMPLE TO USE, LOGICAL FORMAT, and REDUCED WORK. If you have to type the same information more than once, you are doing too much work!

Some of the features of NoAccount already implemented include:

• NO NEED to think about an account's normal balance (credit/debit) except when creating the account. One only needs to think of how the transaction will effect the account: for example, a deposit to the bank account ADDS to the balance. Effect on the cross account(s) is (are) taken care of automatically.
• Flexible account grouping organization left entirely to the end user's needs.
• Flexible group and account naming (up to 40 characters with spaces) to enable logical naming for simplified selection. Any input requiring the selection of accounts or groups make use of an alphabetical sorted selection list. NO silly account numbers to remember or look up!
• User configured cheque and invoice layouts - no need to order special cheques and invoice forms to suit the software -- the software is configurable to make use of YOUR cheques and forms!
• Automatic printing of up to two signatures on cheques, with two levels of optional password protection. If signatures with passwords are used, cheque is printed without signature(s) if the password(s) cannot be correctly entered. Separate passwords are used for each signature.
• PST (Ontario) and GST reports that automatically generate period closing transactions.
• GST "Quick Method" done automatically, if selected.
• Correcting transactions do not require entering a reversing transaction.
• Easy at-a-glance viewing of account balances in a number of views: actual, reconciled, outstanding, debit, or credit.
• Address book facility for printing cheques and invoices. Eliminates the need to type names and addresses. For invoicing, will even eliminate the need to separately select the customer account if the account is named the same as the name entered in the address book.
• May be used for more than one set of books (ie: multiple companies).
• Actual invoice printing and automatic transaction creation is currently being developed.
• Capital Cost Allowance (depreciation) reports with automatic transaction creation.
• End of fiscal year report with automatic closing transaction creation.
• Periodic financial statement reports.
