A valuable means of realising the value of your micro, this is a comprehensive guide and software package for the management of accounts suitable for your household or perhaps club transactions.

The facilities provided allow the system to be tailored precisely to your needs, with up to 33 accounts in use at any time and formatting of hard copy to your printer. It is necessary to plan exactly what you want to do from the beginning and, although there are plenty of examples in the 60 page users' guide, I think that a little more could have been done for the true novice.

I liked the menu type of approach and you should be able to pick your way through the program very easily once you have set yourself up. A budget facility is incorporated as well as standing order mechanism, all of which are flexible enough to be amended simply.

Being a cassette-based package, loading and saving of data has to be organised to be effective, but for those with an interest in financial planning and record-keeping that should come readily.
