Accounts Production
We are about to launch a new accounts production package written entirely in VBA for Excel (97 - SP2, 2000, XP (2002), 2003 & 2007 compatible).
The system enables the user to input opening balances, cash, bank, journals and comparatives via data input sheets or imported CSV files (such as from a Sage TB report) and will produce a full set of statutory accounts in Excel for Sole Trader, Partnership, LLP and Limited Company.
The sheets available include cover and table of contents, company iinformation, audit/accountant report, directors report, master lead schedule, comprehensive notes section with separate data entry, P&L, balance sheet, management balance sheet, trading profit & loss, cash flow, fixed assets, user created working papers and much more.
There are a whole series of forms for data input of static information such as client and accountants details.
We also provide a wealth of new tools for Excel including accounting styles, two new accounting functions, accounting format line and double underline for totals, suppression areas for automated reporting, merge across cells formatting, 4 and 6 column sheet formatting, automated note numbering, table of contents and many more.
Finally we have a publications control section to control the final output of a set of accounts.
This is just a summary of what is to come and of course you can add sheets for any other purpose; for example pie charts and your own schedules.
SIA for management accounts?
Has anyone used this product yet?
We're considering using it to produce monthly management accounts for clients using Sage Instant.
Currently we enter the Sage TB into an Excel template each month. We're reasonably happy with this method because it allows us to be flexible with the reports we provide our clients. ie some have monthly, year to date and comparison columns, some like a very detailed balance sheet.
If Sage Instant Accounts is flexible enough for our needs it looks like very good value, even if it cuts preparation time by 15 minutes.
Incidentally, can anyone offer any other solutions for the preparation of management accounts from a Sage TB that can be tailored easier that the reports produced by Sage?
