The system is based on a model/view architecture. The underlying data (codelist, schedules of transacations) referred to as the "model" is kept separate from the final output, known as the "view". The underlying data is entered through powerful and easy to use data schedules. Alternatively there is full two way interaction with excel. It is then formatted using one of a number of templates to produce the final accounts.

Key Features:

  • Final accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
  • XBRL enabled from the outset (see below for more detail)
  • A range of data entry options using data schedules and excel
  • Fully drillable working papers, giving access directly to schedules
  • Format based system - global changes made easily using simple formatter
  • Adjustment journals automatically cascaded through the financial statements
  • Pages and notes automatically inserted
  • Import from bookkeeping packages and excel
  • Unlimited clients
  • Easy to use - produces statutory accounts in minutes
