Description

Tailored for small enterprises and individuals, Basic Bookkeeping (BBK) has earned accolades such as "Best of Business Shareware" from PC World and a spot among the Top 100 Downloads by Computer Novice. This innovative Windows software automates the management of accounting-related tasks, making it user-friendly for those without any accounting expertise. Designed specifically for business owners rather than accountants, Basic Bookkeeping offers a straightforward approach through its single entry system, eliminating the complexities often associated with double entry methods. Users simply input their income and expenses without the need to navigate through credits, debits, or other accounting terminologies. If you're familiar with "Dome" books like "Simplified Monthly Accounting," transitioning to Basic Bookkeeping will feel seamless. The single entry approach is particularly effective for small businesses, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, and S-corporations, ensuring that financial management is both efficient and accessible. It's a perfect solution for those seeking simplicity in their accounting processes.

Description

NorthBooks is an online bookkeeping tool designed specifically for freelancers, consultants, side businesses, sole proprietors, and incorporated small enterprises in Canada. This software integrates various functions such as invoicing, maintaining client and product databases, tracking expenses and receipts, importing bank statements, and managing mileage, time, and project logs along with GST/HST/QST documentation. Users can easily check the status of their invoices, monitor tax amounts and remittances, and keep track of CRA filing deadlines. Additionally, it offers payroll features that include support for T4 and T4A forms, as well as summaries for T1 and T2 filings, read-only access for accountants, and export options in formats like CSV, PDF, GIFI, and T2 XML. A complimentary plan is available for fundamental bookkeeping needs, while premium plans provide enhanced features for invoicing, reporting, tax processes, and other functionalities. NorthBooks is designed to help users streamline their records for easy self-filing or to facilitate a handoff to an accountant, though it does not handle tax return submissions or substitute for professional tax advice. The various plans cater to the needs of small teams and owner-operated businesses throughout Canada, making it a versatile choice for many.
