- OWL Basic Bookkeeping (BBK) was rated among the "Best of
- Business Shareware" by PC World magazine (Feb., 1994).
-
- BBK provides organized and accurate accounting using the
- "single-entry" bookkeeping method recommended by the IRS. This
- method is easy to use and especially suited for small businesses
- and individuals.
-
- BBK helps you manage your bottom line by giving you instant
- access to up-to-the-minute reports showing your income,
- expenses, profits and losses. You don't need to be an
- accountant to use BBK. By spending just a few minutes a week
- with BBK, you can dramatically reduce your accounting costs.
- Instead of a shoe box full of receipts, you can give your
- accountant comprehensive reports that will save his or her time
- and your money.
-
- BBK can handle up to 1000 different expense types and supports
- both calendar and fiscal year accounting. This is a very easy to
- use program featuring simple mousable menus, context sensative
- help and an on-line user's guide.
-
- Version 3 adds folder capability allowing bookkeeping for
- multiple businesses or multiple business elements within the
- same business.
-
- An import option within Basic Bookkeeping links the program to
- OWL's Sales, Invoicing & Mail List management program (OASIS)
- allowing direct transfer of income data from OASIS into Basic
- Bookkeeping.
