Innovative and Intuitive Product with First Class Support
By James Byrne
I am an Apple Mac user and while I could opt to run a Windows Accounting solution using Parallels virtualisation software, I prefer, where possible, to be able to run my applications on Mac OSX.On the Mac the leading accounts package is probably MYOB. I took a look at their application but didn't like it. It seemed dated and the support desk told me that they had no current plans to update it to run as a Universal application. This means it would have to run under Rosetta emulation on my Intel Macs and that is not ideal.Accountz was being advertised in Mac User magazine and came up in a few searches on the internet. The reviews were all good. It is Java based so it is actually possible to run the same application on Mac OSX, Windows and on Linux. I liked the option to change platform if need be and to be able to take my application (and data) with me.The product took a little while for me to get used to. I am NOT an accountant, I have an IT background, but had to rapidly get to grips with bookkeeping having become the joint owner of a small company. Thankfully the 'Chart of Accounts' in Accountz mirrors the tax return for either a sole trader or a Partnership so that already starts to make life a little easier.The product takes away the need to comprehend the traditional debits and credits of double entry bookkeeping. Instead you simply think about where the money is to come From and where it is to go To . Conceptually this is MUCH easier to grasp.I was up and running in very little time but I did have a few questions, primarily regarding how to do certain things the right way. Most of my questions stemmed from my lack of any formal accounting background and consequent lack of confidence. Thankfully Accountz provide access to an online forum. My questions were taken seriously, even if I did sometimes feel a little dumb asking them. The response time was fantastic and when I remained unclear on how best to proceed, they were more than happy to enter into an exchange of dialogue until they were certain I was comfortable about how best to proceed.I can enthusiastically endorse both the product and the excellent ongoing support. It's an innovative product and I hope it goes from strength to strength.

What a brilliant small business tool.
By Ms. Hayley D. Bunn
I run a pet shop on the Isle of Wight, I wanted to use business accountz for my business as I had used personal accounts for my home accounts, however when I took over the business it wasn't ready and we had to use something. So we picked MYOB, my business partner spent ages setting it up and it was a nightmare....I mean a nightmare, one window for this...one window for that, it was ages before we could even enter a transaction.Anyway to cut a long story short, my business partner left the business in search of other opportunities and I was left to take over the accounts, well I just couldn't get on with the current software, I struggled and struggled and was even considering going back to paper books. And I found out that Business Accountz finally ready, and I took the chance after all it couldn't be any worse than the one I had been using.All I can say is ACCONTZ.COM you have saved my life, it is really really simple, once you have set it up and follow the tutorials you are up and running, and I have just sat and entered 6 months of figures in just 2 hours. Lets see what other software can achieve that!This is a brilliant bit of software and I am recommending it to all of my friends with their own businesses as it will save them a fortune in accountant fees and save them loads of time, and we can spend it at the pub instead!If you have a small business and you struggle with paper books or current software then do yourself a favour and buy this.

Very happy with doing the boowork now!!
By P. Heath
Brought this a few weeks a go and what an excellent program.Have tried MYOB but proved to be too complicated. Business Accountz is easy to use and to get to grip with. It comes with an in depth manual but don't be put of as its also very user friendly.I can keep an eye on all parts of the business now. Well done to the people that came up with this i am fully converted.
