MoneyWorks Subscriptions

MoneyWorks Subscriptions

With MoneyWorks, you have the choice of buying a licence, or subscribing to one, or a combination of both.

MoneyWorks subscriptions enable you to pay a low, monthly fee for continued use of MoneyWorks. Here's how it works:

  1. Create or login to your MoneyWorks account
  2. Register your Visa/Mastercard credit or debit card details1
  3. Choose the product to which you wish to subscribe
  4. Agree to the Terms and Conditions
  5. Your credit card will be charged for the first month's subscription, and a MoneyWorks activation code will be sent to you
  6. Every month from that date, your credit card will be automatically charged for the next month's subscription.
  7. To modify or suspend the subscription, simply log into your MoneyWorks account

A subscription will cover any updates and upgrades released while the subscription is current, but does not include support (which will be charged separately).

Note that, with subscriptions, MoneyWorks will occasionally check back to our server to check your subscription status. For this reason you need to have internet access every ten days or so.

If you suspend your subscription, or otherwise don't pay, your MoneyWorks will stop working. Simply renew the subscription for continued access.

Accounts receivable


Good management of your receivables (who owes you money, also known as your debtors) is a vital part of running any business, and MoneyWorks makes this easy. Being able to generate professional looking invoices is just the start of the process—you want your customers to pay as soon as possible. With automatic reminders, easily searchable lists, special enquiry screens and credit hold facilities, MoneyWorks gives you the tools you need to better manage your receivables and improve your cash flow.

MoneyWorks Express also includes features that you would normally only find in higher-end systems with higher end pricing. Features like time-expiring (prompt payment) discounts, head office billing (where you invoice the branch, but get paid by the head office), subscription billing (send the same invoice to hundreds of customers), and customisable over-due letters which can be printed or emailed.

Note that, if you want to segment your general ledger with multiple accounts receivable control accounts, or to send invoices and receive payments in different currencies, you will need to consider MoneyWorks Gold.

Accounts payable


Careful management of your payables (the businesses that you owe money to, also known as your creditors) can improve both your cash flow and your credit rating. MoneyWorks has the tools to manage this process, and to take advantage of any prompt payment/settlement discounts offered by your suppliers.


MoneyWorks also makes the payment process easy, with the ability to pay your creditors individually or in bulk, either by cheque or electronic payment (for supported banks) with email notification.

Note that, if you receive and pay invoices in different currencies, you will need to consider MoneyWorks Gold.

Powerful reporting


Because an accounting system is only as good as the information you can extract, MoneyWorks comes with a large number of useful reports, each of which can be prepared in a multitude of ways.

  • Comes with Trial Balance, Income, Cashflow, Tax, Cash Projection, Ledger and Balance Sheet, plus profit, trading, inventory, sales, job and budget reports.

  • Dice and slice your reports: most reports can be run on subsets of data, condensed, or summarised by different criteria.
  • Model and forecast your cashflow [MoneyWorks Gold].

But there is much more to MoneyWorks than just financials ... for example:

  • Analysis reports will analyse your transaction data (e.g. see who has purchased what, what regions are products selling into).
  • The Product Catalog will print a catalog, complete with pictures
  • Top sales/purchases, salesperson commission, backorder, sales/purchase history, committed budget, recurring transactions ...

MoneyWorks Express and Gold allow you to modify/create analysis reports, so you can extract just the data you need. MoneyWorks Gold includes a powerful report writer, allowing you to modify/create virtually any financial or management report.
