CASH PLUS

This exciting program builds on our proven record in the field of agricultural and rural business software.

‘Cash Plus’ combines two of our most successful programs ‘Cashbook’ and ‘Cashflow’ which are widely used throughout the UK and overseas. This combination of programs creates a powerful new linkage for monitoring and controlling the business.

In addition, we have added a completely new enterprise costing facility. Traditionally, this is a laborious exercise after the year end but we have designed an unique method of allocating costs which means it is easy to undertake and is always up to date. The enterprise analysis shows how different parts of the business are performing - an essential aid for improving profitability.

Why Cash Plus?
By cash we mean cheques, standing orders, electronic banking etc. In fact all types of money with the term ‘cash’ referring to the date the transaction is settled. This is either the same day or close to the date on the bank statement. It is the simplest approach and is exactly equivalent to cash flow. The expression ‘cash is king’ still holds good!

What does Cash Plus do?
It is based on straightforward cash books with full bank reconciliation and automatic VAT reports. It shows customer or supplier transactions and individual allocation totals over any period selected. Being designed for agriculture and horticulture means it effectively handles livestock numbers, crop tonnages and contra accounts.

During the year, there are a full range of management reports comparing actual and forecast figures both monthly and to date. At any time of year, a profit estimate can be calculated and enterprises analysed.

Another huge advantage to the system is that any number of bank accounts and businesses can be run on just one program! It is also very suitable for many non-agricultural businesses.

What doesn’t Cash Plus do?
We don’t offer nominal ledgers, trial balances, fixed asset schedules, stock control, year end closedown procedures, code lists, extra modules and expensive training.

If you want these, there are plenty of systems on the market but we believe that over 95% of UK farms and small rural businesses don’t need this level of complication and expense.

How is Cash Plus so different?
Most bookkeeping and accounting systems are basically similar; by contrast, we have evolved a completely different approach based on ease of operation and practicality without any compromise on accuracy. Our priorities are:
* Simple principles - you can track every transaction right through the system. There is no mystery - you don’t enter a screen, press a button and wonder where it’s gone! You can see a whole month’s transactions on one screen.
* Easy operation - because the initial entry mirrors a manual cash book it is instantly recognisable and requires no specialist training. There is no need to use codings - just whatever headings suit you. It couldn’t be easier or quicker.
* Well laid out reports - so many systems produce muddled and lengthy reports. Ours are designed for an A4 page and we simply divide income and expenditure into its two essential elements - trading (profit/loss) and non-trading (capital/tax/private). The whole business is summarised in 2½ pages per month. Other more detailed reports are available when required.
* Accountant approval - our system is popular because it has a full audit check (so everything is proved to balance) but we do not attempt to replace accountants by trying to calculate depreciation or operate fixed asset schedules.
* Cost effectiveness - the initial cost of our software is very modest and offers exceptionally good value compared to the alternatives. There are also big savings on the annual costs.

When can I change to Cash Plus?
At any time - there is no necessity to wait to the end of the financial year.

Will it run on my computer?
Cash Plus will run on any computer with Windows 7, Vista, XP or 2000.

What will it cost?
Cash Plus starts at £295 for small farms and businesses with the main version at £595. We even offer an annual rental with no initial capital cost!

For annual software maintenance, including telephone support and updates, costs just £125 (£95 for the lite version). This reflects the simplicity of our approach.
