GrossBee . GrossBee offers its customers a unique opportunity for such systems - to receive a fully functional single-user version of the GrossBee XXI system for free.

The enterprise management system "GrossBee XXI" belongs to the ERP class systems and is designed for complex automation of trading and manufacturing enterprises of various sizes: from corporations to small companies. The system solves problems of accounting and planning of material and financial resources, production, analysis of enterprise performance indicators, and many others.

All functions of the system are implemented as a set of interconnected modules that actively interact with each other and together form a single, holistic application. The modules are replaceable, allowing you to develop customized solutions for specific businesses.

The modules are combined into subsystems, each of which is used to solve specific problems. For example, the material accounting subsystem “deals” with the movement of inventory items, the cash and non-cash accounting subsystem deals with banking and cash transactions, etc.

The structure of the GrossBee XXI system is shown in the figure (click on the corresponding subsystem for detailed information):

GrossBee XXI includes the following main subsystems:

• Material accounting subsystem
• Contract accounting subsystem
• Material resources planning subsystem
• Production accounting subsystem
• Production planning subsystem
• Cash accounting subsystem
• Cash planning subsystem
• Subsystem for accounting for debts and settlements with counterparties
• Fixed asset accounting subsystem
• Accounting subsystem
• Personnel accounting and payroll subsystem
• Economic analysis subsystem
• Enterprise economic monitoring subsystem
• Administrative functions

All subsystems use a common database and exchange information with each other, which makes it possible to create a unified information environment at the enterprise, common to all its divisions. In general, the division into modules is quite arbitrary. For example, the material resources planning subsystem uses both data on the balance of goods in the enterprise's warehouses and information from the accounting and production planning subsystems, the fixed assets accounting subsystem receives data on equipment wear and tear from the production accounting subsystem, etc.

It should be noted that the system continues to actively develop; new modules and subsystems are constantly appearing in it, which are easily connected to others within the overall system architecture.

OpenERP.

The system began to develop through the efforts of Fabien Pinckaers in 2000. Tiny ERP soon began to be implemented in the public trading market.

Until the end of 2004, Fabien Pinckaers combined in one person the developer, manager, and distributor of Tiny. In September 2004 (when he completed his research), other programmers were brought in to develop and distribute Tiny ERP.

By 2006, the program was successfully used in specialized bookstores, distribution companies, and service companies.

At this time, the TinyForge resource opens. Since then, developers from all over the world have been involved in the development of modules.

A stable version is released every 4-6 months, and a developer version is released every month. In June 2007, in version 4.1.1, a “web client” appeared, allowing you to use all the capabilities of the system using a regular browser.

In July 2008, Launchpad became the platform for organizing the work of the OpenERP community, and the system itself became more open to translators and developers. Also in 2008, the first version of the OpenERP book was written, replacing the system documentation. Since 2009, OpenERP has been included in the Ubuntu and Debian packages.

Tria

Standard configurations - free

How Tria works

The Tria platform was created in the image and likeness of the most widespread software product in the vast expanses of the former USSR - 1C Enterprise. Just like 1C, the ready-made solution consists of two parts - a platform (launched application) and a database.

Comparison with 1C or a little history

The Tria system was not born out of nowhere. At first, the developers were creating non-standard solutions based on 1C 7.7. As a result of consistent research, a mechanism for business operations was born.

The essence of this mechanism is that the entire logic of document behavior is not contained in code in a programming language, but is specified using a special reference book Business transactions.

As a result, we received the following advantages:

• The logic of document operation can be changed on the fly, while other users continue to work in the database.
• The process of making changes to the configuration has been significantly simplified and accelerated, and consequently, the cost of support has been significantly reduced. What a programmer does in 1C in a day can be done in TRIA in an hour.
• The level of requirements for a TRIA customizer/implementer has been significantly reduced. People who did not know how to program configured the wiring themselves and radically changed the logic of the program. The emphasis in the requirements for implementers has shifted: first of all, specialists must know the subject area, understand the methodology of work, and only then be specialists in TRIA.

Naturally, Tria turned out to be ideologically similar to 1C. The same hierarchical structure directories, documents, document journals, registers. There is no chart of accounts and periodic details yet - it will be planned over time. Essentially, this is something similar to the “Operational accounting” or “trade” component in 1C.

Here, of course, I would like to draw a comparison table, especially since 1C is familiar inside and out, but many will consider this as anti-advertising. Therefore, we will limit ourselves to a very brief summary: in 1C you can do almost everything that the user wants. The only question is time, money and a good specialist. Our software is more limited in functionality, but everything that can be done in Tria is much easier and faster, and therefore cheaper. At the same time, programming requires a significantly lesser degree of specialist training.

The main competitive advantage is a significant reduction in costs for the purchase, implementation, modifications and IT support of your software.

The configurations offered in TRIA contain all the experience of successfully running the business of our clients. They receive not only the program, but also constant recommendations and suggestions to increase the profitability of their companies. We are proud of the achievements of our clients, that over 4 years of using TRIA in the Lugansk region, not a single client has stopped their business, but on the contrary, despite the crisis, they are successfully developing.

Tria Specifications

For normal operation of Tria, a Pentium 150, 32 megabytes of RAM, and 15 megabytes of disk space are sufficient. The larger the database size and the volume of entered information, the more power the computer (on which the database is located) is required.

The Tria platform is a portable application - i.e. a program that does not require installation. You can install the program by simply copying the entire directory, and carry your accounting on a flash drive. On any computer you can issue documents or receive information about balances.

The free Firebird SQL server is used as a data storage (there are server versions for both Windows and free operating systems (Linux, FreeBSD)).

For single-user work, by default it is proposed to work with the embedded version of the Firebird server, which does not require its separate installation and administration.

You can read more about Firebird's capabilities here:

• www.ibphoenix.com – manufacturer’s website
• www.ibase.ru is the website of the company that took part in the development of this server. Contains a lot of useful information in Russian.
• www.interbase-world.com, www.sql.ru are sites where you can communicate with programmers who operated this server.

Until the end of the 20th century, ordinary wooden abacus remained the main tool for accounting. This easy-to-learn, accessible and very functional tool was on the desk of everyone who was responsible for accounting.

In theory, today's accounting programs should have the same qualities. The list of such software is quite impressive. But not every application meets the above requirements and copes with the assigned tasks.

Moreover, in this case it makes no sense to rely entirely on user reviews. If a certain product is perfect for one accountant performing certain tasks, then for another, working in a neighboring area, it will be practically useless. So it's not that simple here.

We will try to understand this issue and provide a list of the best accounting programs, where each application is distinguished by the efficiency of its work and other quality components. We will start with desktop versions, which are tied to one or a group of PCs, and will continue with online services. For a more visual picture, the list of names of accounting programs will be presented in the form of a rating. The main criteria in our case will be the efficiency, convenience and functionality of applications.

Our list of accounting software includes the following products:

1. "1c accounting".
2. "Info-Accountant".
3. "Turbo Accountant"
4. "BEST".
5. "Sky".
6. "My business."

Let's take a closer look at the participants.

"1c accounting"

Topping our list of accounting programs is 1C: Accounting. The software can be used, without exaggeration, wherever it is necessary to calculate, estimate and automate something. Thanks to intelligent integration, the product from 1C will fit into any, even the most complicated system.

The developer tirelessly monitors his brainchild and regularly releases updates and patches, thereby expanding the functionality of the program taking into account the latest changes in legislation. The system contains more than 850 metadata objects, of which more than a hundred are various aggregators and specific tables.

The solution simply does not have any critical shortcomings, so 1C: Accounting rightfully tops our list of accounting programs for computers. The only thing that entrepreneurs sometimes complain about is the high cost of the product. If the basic version can be purchased for a more or less acceptable amount of 5 thousand rubles, then the cost of advanced solutions starts at 30 thousand rubles.

"Info-Accountant"

Even despite the significant lead in sales, as well as in the amount of installed desktop software, 1C considers Info-Bukhgalter its direct competitor. For many entrepreneurs, this product is at the top of the list of accounting programs to install.

Info-Accountant has more than enough positive aspects, but the marketing part, alas, is much less developed. Advertising from 1C pours out from literally every pillar and banner, and thematic magazines are full of yellow company logos. Info-Accountant does not place such emphasis on advertising, which is why it is in the constant shadow of the giant.

Software features

The product deservedly takes second place in the list of accounting programs. Solutions from Info-Accountant boast the widest functionality, intuitive interface and minute elaboration of all specific aspects with subsequent adaptation.

The program is in no way inferior to its older brother, and even their basic versions cost the same - 5 thousand rubles each. Advanced modifications start at 20 thousand rubles. Also, many entrepreneurs were pleased with the availability of free solutions, even with limited functionality.

"Turbo Accountant"

In third place in our list of accounting programs is a universal solution - “Turbo Accountant”. The product includes several modifications aimed at automating the accounting of enterprises, regardless of their form of organization.

Among the obvious advantages are a unified information base, as well as convenient and, most importantly, flexible tools. In addition, the product is perfectly optimized and is not “overthought” for trifles, like the previous two. The developer monitors the program and makes relevant changes approximately once a quarter.

Product Features

The entry threshold acts as a fly in the ointment. The interface becomes convenient and flexible after thoroughly mastering the product, where the accompanying documentation takes up almost five volumes. And not every entrepreneur and accountant will rush to study these wilds. But if you master the program properly, you simply won’t want to switch to something else and will feel like a fish in water in accounting.

As for the cost, Turbo Accountant offers more affordable price tags for its products. The basic version with the Accountant application costs only 990 rubles. The cost of other, more advanced solutions starts at 7 thousand rubles and reaches around 60 thousand (10 workstations/network support).

"BEST"

In fourth place in our list of accounting programs is the BEST component product. One of the main advantages of such software is the division of functionality into application blocks. That is, each segment is responsible for a specific area: personnel, finance, logistics, etc. Moreover, the blocks can work not only autonomously, but also in a joint mode, so, as a rule, there are no problems with synchronizing transactions.

The program interface itself is distinguished by its simplicity and convenience. All tools are located in obvious places and are easily accessible with the first click. In addition, the developer offers a variety of educational materials in both text and video format.

The disadvantages include late updates and closed system. The last point does not allow you to complete something manually, as is, for example, implemented in 1C and Info-Accountant, so you have to be content with what you have.

A basic product license will cost approximately 9 thousand rubles. The cost of advanced cooperative and network solutions starts at 30 thousand.

"Sky"

This is already a web service for accounting. One of the main advantages of the Sky web client, besides the poetic name, is the simplicity of the interface and the presence of intuitive, as well as accessible, tools. For beginning entrepreneurs who are good at accounting, this option will come in handy.

The service allows you to fully work in the areas of the simplified tax system, UTII and OSN. The output is standard reports that any tax office will accept, both in paper and electronic form. Uploading occurs in popular XML and Excel formats.

It is also worth noting that the service has a convenient application for smartphones. Judging by the reviews, the version for iOS is made somewhat clumsily, but the software for Android is implemented as it should and is not buggy. Here you can also set up SMS notifications about the acceptance of your reports by the tax office.

The disadvantage is the lack of trust of clients in the service. The developer tried to make it as efficient and convenient as possible, but with promotion things are not going well. And domestic consumers are wary of anything new, as well as distrustful. The price for the service is not outrageous. The product will cost approximately 500 rubles monthly for a basic solution.

"My business"

This web service has been operating for almost nine years now. Judging by the reviews, users do not note any critical shortcomings in the operation of the resource, and if something arises, the developer responds to calls and promptly corrects errors with updates.

The functionality of the service is able to cope even with large enterprises, which is confirmed by more than one thousand satisfied business people. Of course, in especially difficult cases it is better to turn to the venerable “1C” or “Info-Accountant”, but the software grinds the average workload of accounts like sunflower seeds.

The web application offers the user its own database of regulations, specialized forms and thematic forms. In addition, the service has a built-in online consultant, where competent specialists will help with advice or serve you, as they say, turnkey. As for the cost, everything is fine with this too - from 366 to 2083 rubles, depending on needs.

Everyone knows that an accountant is a specialist who keeps accounting records at enterprises, firms, and factories. No self-respecting organization can do without an accountant. With its help, workers receive their salaries on time, taxes and fees are paid into the state treasury.

Federal legislation clearly states that accounting employees are responsible not only for maintaining accounting records, but also for the timely submission and provision of reliable and truthful reports.

If you are a beginner accountant, then this article is for you. Let's look at what accounting (AC) is and what programs exist on the Internet to help with maintaining such records.

Accounting

In the Russian Federation, there is a law “On Accounting”, which defines the concept of an accounting account; in addition, it regulates the accounting process itself in any enterprise. Based on the reading of this law, accounting is the collection and processing of information about the objects of the company’s activities, because all information is presented in financial statements, and the process of accounting for business transactions occurs continuously. Any business operation is confirmed by certain primary documents, according to which accounting entries are drawn up.

Here are the basic accounting rules:

• continuity;
• filling out documents for each operation;
• reflection of all actions in the posting, which is made on the basis of the primary document;
• accounting only in monetary terms;
• information from accounting documents is recorded in accounting registers.

Accounting software

Nowadays, many Internet sites offer software for maintaining such records. What are they needed for? The use of these programs simplifies the accounting procedure and saves time for bookkeeping. How to understand them? A good program helps optimize the necessary operations:

• collect and register primary documentation;
• carry out the necessary calculations;
• analyze articles of legislation;
• draw up a register of business transactions;
• determine production costs;
• fill out financial reporting forms, order journals and postings.

In addition, modern electronic automated programs require effective work with the main assets and liabilities of the enterprise.

How to choose a decent program

So, choosing a decent program involves the following steps:

1. Decide on your goals (which accounting processes you need to optimize):
   • for a small company, programs with built-in strict accounting schemes and ready-made settings are suitable;
   • for large and medium-sized ones – those that allow you to adapt the virtual environment to the characteristics of a given enterprise.
2. Find a suitable program on the Internet and decide how you will use it: online or on a personal computer.
3. Be sure to take into account whether it has technical support, what the cost of updates is, the presence of hidden fees (updates cannot always be downloaded for free, much less ask for help).
4. Read user reviews (this will help you decide whether this program is really as good as the developers advertise it).

Free programs

Most often, programs in this category solve problems partially, that is, some specific tasks. Let's look at some of them.

1. “Legal Taxpayer” is the official program of the Federal Tax Service, helps prepare tax and accounting reporting forms.

Advantages: automatic completion, identification of existing errors, produces a form for submitting reports in finished form, you can manage several companies, completed forms are printed or saved in xml format.

1. “Info-enterprise” – for small businesses (about one hundred employees).

Advantages: you can change the settings to suit your needs, works even on old computers, unlimited access to online updating of reporting forms and algorithms. Alas, there are fewer service functions for multi-user work.

1. “Info-accountant 10.2” - presented by ORN, USN, Budget - for small companies.

1. The starting version of “Accounting for settlements and funds” is from the “Bonus” software package.

1. “Business Pack” – for generating, recording and printing primary documentation.

conclusions

In addition to many advantages, computer accounting programs also have their disadvantages:

• a good program costs money;
• Misunderstandings often arise in settings, maintenance, and program updates.

There is a special offer for visitors to our website - you can get advice from a professional lawyer completely free of charge by simply leaving your question in the form below.

When choosing programs, this fact should also be remembered.

Business is not always about analyzing huge amounts of information. At least not right away. At the beginning of its activity, the company's only valuable information resource is data on the state of its assets, liabilities and capital. That is, accounting data. And the first step towards global automation of business processes may be choosing an accounting program. Practicing accountant Elena Yakovleva talks about the capabilities of the most common programs.

Before choosing one or another accounting program, you need to analyze the work of your company. The choice of program will be based on what documents you use, what taxation and reporting system is used.

All high-quality programs that help with accounting perform a huge number of functions. But there is a certain set that is typical for everyone, this is:

• all aspects of working with primary documents,
• carrying out the necessary accounting calculations,
• analysis of current legislative articles,
• compiling a register of all business transactions,
• work on filling out financial reporting forms,
• work with assets and liabilities of the enterprise.

Therefore, if it is necessary to maintain accounting records for a small or medium-sized business, then the company will be able to make do with a program with a set of pre-installed functions that will not change. If this is a large enterprise with a lot of subtleties in accounting, then you should choose software that will allow you to integrate additional options or applications.

Free programs

Free is not always bad. Modern programmers offer a large number of their developments that help accountants in their work. But here you need to understand that free software will not provide a comprehensive solution to problems. It will only help for a specific area of ​​accounting. Therefore, free programs will be good helpers for small organizations.

For example, the “Legal Taxpayer” program is well suited for preparing accounting and tax reporting forms, certificates of income for individuals (No. 2-NDFL), special declarations, documents for registering cash registers, as well as for auto-filling out forms and identifying errors. One of the advantages of this software is that it can handle accounting for several companies at once.

Another option for a free program is “Info-Accountant 10.2”. The main functions of this software: processing cash and banking transactions, personnel and warehouse accounting and payroll calculations. This program works with all tax regimes. The only limitation of the free version is 1000 business transactions selected from the journal to be reflected in reports for the year. If there is a need for more operations, you can purchase a paid version.

A convenient option for working with primary documentation is Business Pack. This free program allows you to create invoices, invoices, sales receipts, certificates of completion, contracts, payment requests and orders, cash receipts and outgoing orders and much more. All created documents can be exported to the required formats or even to more functional programs. In addition, this accounting program allows you to exchange “primary accounts” through the Telepak service.

To calculate the single tax of individuals and legal entities, the Uroshchenka program is often used. It automatically generates tax returns, receipts for payment at the bank, and allows you to calculate taxes at a rate of 6% and 15%.

As you can see, free programs for accountants help in solving certain problems, which, for the most part, relate to tax reporting. And, of course, one or two free accounting programs, tailored to specific needs, can greatly simplify the work of an accountant in a small enterprise.

Paid accounting programs

If there is a need to fully automate accounting to increase the efficiency of employees and improve control over the financial activities of the enterprise, then it is better to choose paid programs that cover all areas of accounting.

The most common platforms that specialists have been using over the past few years are:

• System "1C"
• Software "Parus-Enterprise",
• Accounting system "Galaktika ERP",
• System "BOSS".

The listed software has long proven itself to be the best. Each offer has a wide range of capabilities, high-quality service, and regular updating of all databases. It is these three key features that make them the most popular among modern accountants.

The 1C Accounting system is, without a doubt, one of the leaders in accounting automation. What sections of accounting work can be entrusted to the 1C Accounting system? As experience shows, almost all existing areas: cash, currency transactions, assets, documentation for working with creditors and debtors, production and sales accounting.

In addition, 1C Accounting allows you to generate reports for internal needs using individual forms or create tax or financial reporting taking into account established standards.

Of course, 1C can be called a leader among equals. But we should not ignore other programs that adequately cope with the tasks assigned to them. For example, “Parus-Enterprise”. This is an ideal option for small and medium-sized enterprises of any industry. A distinctive feature of this software is its intuitive interface.

What does Parus-Enterprise offer to users? Firstly, a unified information and management space. This includes everything from accounting and taxes to human resources. Secondly, the program has excellent integration with Microsoft Excel, which allows you to both create and export tables or documents to an application familiar to many. Thirdly, it provides ample opportunities for the rapid development of templates. In addition, there is an extensive library of forms and templates based on accepted standards.

Another option for helping employees and automating the work of an accountant is the Galaktika ERP program. An important feature of this proposal is that the program allows you to provide reporting not only according to Russian, but also international standards. This approach will be a big plus for large companies with partners or representatives in other countries. In addition, the software can generate all the necessary documents related to the support of monetary transactions. It is also possible to create and maintain separate records for fixed assets and intangible assets. The block related to taxation has not been left unattended. It is constantly updated to fully comply with legal requirements, which allows you to quickly and error-free create and fill out the necessary document.

The “Boss” system has a whole set of programs for automated accounting. The most popular of them is the “Boss Accountant” program. Conventionally, “Boss Accountant” can be divided into two modules: financial and material. This program allows you to keep track of transactions on current accounts, record cash transactions, record fixed assets, inventory records, record payments to suppliers and customers, record planned and actual costs, and this is not a complete list of the capabilities of this program.

In short, if you are thinking about how to optimize the work of your accounting department, then you should pay attention to modern specialized programs. Today, similar software is available both for large holdings and for individual entrepreneurs, where all employees are one person. With the correct implementation of such programs, it will be possible to significantly improve the efficiency of the company, as well as avoid errors in the preparation of accounting documents, which can lead to unpleasant consequences.

Today, accounting programs are required to keep records of the work of various enterprises. Modern accounting programs help control all financial processes occurring in an organization.
Accounting programs allow you to:

• Keep records of fixed assets in the organization;
• Calculate the profitability or unprofitability of private and budgetary institutions;
• Conduct payroll;
• Keep records of expenses in the enterprise;
• Analyze the timeliness of payments to suppliers and partners.

In addition to the above capabilities, accounting automation programs allow you to fully control financial issues and easily carry out any operations within the organization.

If you think back to twenty years ago, the accounting process was significantly different from what we know today. Previously, all accounting, even for large enterprises, was carried out according to journal entries. That's the case now. The market for accounting programs is so wide that every entrepreneur will be able to select automated systems for accounting audits. Therefore, modern accountants can be called lucky; along with the computerized generation, accounting systems have entered their lives to make their lot easier.
