TurboCASH is much more than a simple 'home finances' or small business
bookkeeping system. We aim at businesses with 1 to 5 accountants.
Commercial Small Business
accounting software providers typically release a low-end crippleware product for around £100
that excludes such basic features as cashbook and stock control. These products are usually no more than "brochures" inviting you to spend more on the the "pro" version. TurboCASH includes most
functions a business will ever need: debtors, creditors, general ledger,
full stock control, VAT accounting, invoicing, bank reconciliation, trial
balance, balance sheet and income statements, full reporting and analysis,
as well as multi-company and multi-user capabilities.
With commercial vendors there is always an excuse for you to spend a few more hundred dollars for this or that feature or extra addon.
