Software

IAIN BETHUNE CA FCMA

There are several accounting software packages available for use in small businesses all of which do the same basic accounts recording but each has it's own particular method of working and presentation.

Much depends upon the capabilities of the user - some programs are aimed at the beginner while others expect some knowledge of basic bookkeeping. Also we believe that one supplier's product may be better suited to a particular type of business than another so that there should be an assessment of the requirements of the particular business before purchasing any program. Equally, we assess the skills of the user and propose the best program for his particular needs.

Unlike some accountants we do not promote one particular software package because we believe that you should have choice.
