Compare Turbo Cash

Written by Selwyn Wacks
TurboCASH is much more than a simple
'home finances' or small business bookkeeping system. We aim
at businesses with 1 to 5 accountants.
Commercial Small business accounting
software providers typically release a low-end crippleware
product for around £100 that excludes such basic
features as cashbook and stock control. These products are
usually no more than "brochures" inviting you to
spend more on the the "pro" version. TurboCASH
includes most functions a business will ever need: debtors,
creditors, general ledger, full stock control, VAT accounting,
invoicing, bank reconciliation, trial balance, balance sheet
and income statements, full reporting and analysis, as well as
multi-company and multi-user capabilities.
With commercial vendors there is always an
excuse for you to spend a few more hundred dollars for this or
that feature or extra addon.
