  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.

Multi-company support


Most accounting software allow you to only manage accounts for one company, or charge you extra for additional companies. The desktop1 version of MoneyWorks allows you to keep accounts for as many entities as you want on the one computer, with no additional fees or licenses required.

  • Run as many sets of accounts as you require on the one computer with no additional licensing fees.
  • Each set of accounts is kept as a separate file, allowing you to easily separate information from different entities.
  • Keep accounts for organisations with different structures, or even, with the international version, from different countries.
  • Have more than one file open at a time, allowing you to copy and paste transactions between entities [not supported for Gold clients].
  • All MoneyWorks versions are localised or self-localising for GST/VAT systems in New Zealand, Australia, Canada (including support for provincial sales taxes, HST, QST), Eurozone, Nepal, South Africa, Singapore and the UK, and for sales-tax tracking in the US.
  • Although designed for business use, MoneyWorks is also great for home accounts.
  • MoneyWorks Datacentre allows scripted consolidation across multiple sets of accounts.

1Desktop versions include Cashbook, Express and Gold, as well as Datacentre that is hosted on your own hardware. Hosted copies of MoneyWorks by external hosting companies may charge a per-file fee.

Sticky notes will help you organise


Sticky notes act as on-screen reminders in the day to day use of MoneyWorks. Another example of one the many incredibly useful features that make MoneyWorks a stand-out product.

  • Attach a sticky note to a record, and it will pop-up as a reminder when you view the record, or use the code identifying that record.

  • Sticky notes can be attached to transactions, customer/suppliers, accounts, items and job records.
  • Have different sticky notes appear for purchase or sales transactions.
  • Colour code your sticky notes to indicate importance.
  • On an item: use to up-sell ("Would you like fries with that?") or remind about required ancillary products.
  • On a customer: use to remind about bad credit, outstanding issues or for customer relations ("Ask about John's new baby").
  • On an account: use to provide guidelines on when to use and not use the account.
  • On a transaction: use to annotate why it was coded differently, or why it needs to be checked.

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.
  • Preview on screen, or output to PDF, Email, Excel, Word, Numbers, Clipboard, text or HTML file
  • Easily see what makes the numbers by drilling down to underlying transaction data.
  • 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.
