- Longer Description:
-
- HBMS is an easy to use financial record-keeping and reporting
- system. Users are allowed complete flexibility in the way they design
- their accounts, allowing them to track not only checkbooks, but any
- income, expense, asset or liability. You can find out exactly
- where the money went (and how much is left)! Budgeting is also
- allowed, and compared. It has a simple and fast data entry method, and
- transactions can be split into 14 different accounts. There are
- extensive screen reports, and 10 printed reports (printed reports can
- also be directed to a file). Some other features are transaction
- editing, and the ability to save recurrent or similar transactions to a
- "template" with optional reminder flags (due dates) for automatic
- entry. HBMS handles up to 12 checking accounts for reconciliation,
- and/or check printing. There is support for fiscal years other than
- the calendar year, and there is a pop-up help screen for the Chart of
- Accounts. A special "Test Drive" document is included, which combined
- with the sample data, will quickly introduce you to HBMS and what is
- has to offer.
-
-
-
- Changes in version 4.2:
-
- Adds support for naming budget systems, improved help screen for
- Chart of Accounts, better printer support including drivers for 35
- different printers, refined color support, and other minor
- enhancements. Also, author is now a member of ASP.
