Choosing TAS Books

 Why haven't businesses computerised their accounts?

If you are still writing your books by hand, or even using computerised accounting software, you can now save hours of tedious and repetitive work. Surprisingly, many business owners have not yet computerised their accounts. And those who have, often complain it’s too complicated. Why? Because accounting software, until now, was time-consuming to learn and more complicated to use than doing accounts by hand. But now, TAS Software makes accounting easy, and dramatically faster.

Tens of thousands of business owners and accountants who have already installed TAS Books chose it because it is the easiest software to learn and use, and puts you in total control of the financial results they produce.

The Secret of TAS’s Success

The secret of TAS’s success lies in the ‘breakthrough’ Account Processor™ Technology. This makes entering data and using the software as easy as using a word processor or spreadsheet. It’s just like doing accounts by hand. If you have made a mistake, you simply display the details and re-enter the correct figure.

No other accounting package has this. Others "lock" entries in, once you have entries you cannot easily change them. And if they’re wrong, you have to do confusing ‘journals’ to correct them.

TAS - The Accounting Solution is completely flexible. If mistakes are made, all entries can be retrieved, edited and corrected, so they 100% accurately reflect your source documents (invoices, cheques, statements, etc.)

Naturally you can password protect this ability, and all changes are recorded in the audit trail.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

Anyone can now learn sufficient book-keeping to a useful standard in just a few days! TAS has written what’s probably the best and easiest to understand accounting tutorial I’ve ever seen. After a ‘Quick Look’ and overview of the system, the tutorial clearly shows you step-by-step how to deal with virtually every financial "event" in business.

You can continuously compare your entries with the ones in the book and measure your progress, accuracy and success. When completed, you will have dealt with all elements of VAT, invoices, receipts, payments, over- and under-payments, bounced cheques, bank reconciliation, write-offs, aged invoice reports (to help get the money in), the lot!

You even learn to understand "double entry" in minutes going through the live examples on your PC. It’s tremendously beneficial in understanding more about your business’s financial status. Many accountants have complimented us on the clarity of this tutorial.

And since computing or accounting may not be your main line of business, any other questions you have will soon be answered by our friendly helpdesk.

During individual one-to-one consultations, they will offer advice, answer questions and deal with any problems you may have. Surveys show that TAS is consistently the No.1 entry-level business software company in the User Satisfaction and Recommendation Table. (Source: Accountancy Age and TBC Research).

Save Hours and Hours of Work

Never again sit for hours adding columns of figures, reconciling bank statements, calculating profit and loss statements, VAT returns, and worry about your year end accounts. TAS software does all this for you! You enter figures just once. The software then calculates everything for you, with simple keyboard commands.

For instance, VAT returns take just minutes and are 100% accurate the first time. Other calculations that normally take hours, like profit and loss statements, cash flows, weekly and monthly trading results, balance sheets, year-end accounts all take just minutes to prepare. The speed and ease of use is remarkable. This is serious software. It speeds through complicated accounting calculations in seconds. Also, because it is Windows based, it looks good. Every account ledger and analysis screen is a pleasure to work on.

A feature called ‘drill down’ lets you double-click on every transaction line and display the underlying invoice details.

If your business is small, medium or large, TAS software will handle every accounting event you’ll ever need, with ease.

It doesn’t matter whether you have 100 customers or 100,000 TAS is powerful and professional with an array of functions that leave all other accounting software behind.
