OWL Simple Business Accounting
Program Description
OWL Simple Business Accounting (SBA) is an easy-to-use program
that is designed to maintain complete and accurate accounting of
income and expenses. In creating Simple Business Accounting, our
objective was to produce a program that is intuitive and requires
no prior knowledge of accounting. SBA uses the "single entry"
bookkeeping method that is recommended by the IRS. This
accounting method is easy to use and is equally suited for small
businesses and individuals.
Using SBA, you can produce a variety of expense, income, profit
and general ledger reports. You can define up to 1000 different
income and expense accounts to fully categorize your income and
expenses for tax purposes.
SBA employs the concept of folders where each folder contains
income and expense data that may be reported either separately or
in combination. Thus, Simple Business Accounting may be used for
multiple businesses, multiple divisions within a single business
or for both business and personal accounting.
Simple Business Accounting is linked to OWL's invoicing, sales and
client management program (OASIS) via an import option that
transfers income data from OASIS into Simple Business Accounting.
OASIS provides complete tracking of sales, customers and
receivables. The combination of OASIS and Simple Business
Accounting provides a complete business management solution for
many small businesses.
