  • 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.

Easily locate your transactions


MoneyWorks presents all your vital information in lists, which can be easily searched or sorted. No more flicking through a series of screens to find things—just type a word or phrase into the search box and only transactions that contain that text will be displayed. Customers, items and accounts are also displayed in these easily accessible lists.

Efficient transaction entry screens


The simple, clear transaction entry screens in MoneyWorks are designed for fast, accurate input, and include features like autofill lists to speed up entry and ensure consistency. Transaction entry screens are configurable—you can show or hide additional fields, and even alter the tabbing order.

On screen enquiries


The enquiry screens in MoneyWorks display balances and charts of nominated accounts, items or customers, allowing you to easily see trends. Drill down to see the underlying transaction information—a feature your accountant will also appreciate.

There's much more to Cashbook than just the headline items above. Features like stickies, unicode, and a large library of included reports make Cashbook a truly standout system. And all these features, plus more, form the basis of the the more advanced MoneyWorks versions. So, if Cashbook doesn't meet your requirements, have a look at MoneyWorks Express.
