Smart Accounts 2000 is a simple to use but effective financial management package for home or small business use.

You won't need a knowledge of double-entry book-keeping to operate this package, and it won't overwhelm you with a glitzy but impenetrable interface.

The "Portfolio of Accounts"

Smart Accounts is multi-account capable. When you create a new file using the File/New menu command, or the equivalent tool bar button you are not creating a new account. You are creating a "portfolio" that can contain multiple accounts.

Individual Accounts

The portfolio can contain multiple accounts (but it doesn't have too, you could just use it for one account). All the accounts you create are held in the one Portfolio file.

Regular Entries

You can enter Regular Entries which are automatically entered on a scheduled basis.

Categories

You can categorize entries in almost any way you want, categories can have subcategories and so on to an effectively unlimited depth, and you can produce charts, displays and reports showing expenditure by category.

Forward Projection

You can "Forward Project" an account to a date in the future, which automatically enters any regular payments that would fall do, and can then enter "trial entries" to test various what-if scenarios.

Archiving

You can archive your accounts to a particular date. Entries are removed from the account and put in an archive file, and the carried forward balances in your accounts adjusted appropriately. You can go back to the archive to review old entries at any time, but they won't clutter up your current data.

Other things

As you would expect there are all the usual features of a modern Windows application, including printing, searching, tooltips and comprehensive help. But you probably won't need the Help, it's so easy to use. Why not download a trial copy and prove it to yourself!
