- Longer Description:
-
- HBMS is an easy to use financial record-keeping and reporting
- system. Users have 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. New features for version 4.3 include an INSTALL
- program which also prints the documentation, a pop-up calculator,
- macros (multiple functions assignable to a function key), and support
- for foreign date formats and currency symbols.
