Accounts For Landlords
There are many specialist accounting packages on the market for Landlords and Letting agents. But you have a major choice to make: do you go for one of the many specialist property management package, or do you go for a general purpose business accounting package which can be adapted to your business needs, one which is more likely to be understood and accepted by your accountant.
Sage® is without doubt the recognised market leader in business accounting, but it does require specialist accounting knowledge and an extended training is required to use it - it's difficult for the non-accountant to use.
A highly regarded contender in the marketplace is Business Accountz - again a general business accounting with excellent support, but one with quite unique properties. It's one of the easiest of accounting packages to learn and use you'll ever come across, using true double entry principles. It's rapidly becoming recognised as a product to more than challenge the existing ones on offer, and at a price that's highly competitive.
At LandlordZONE we've adopted these packages for our own use and we've used them for years, so we have experienced them in practice. We rate the Business and Home Accountz packages and the support we've received from Accountz.com very highly.

Business Accountz Basic - Discount Code: LZ10
Designed to keep the books for all types of business, whether sole-trader, partnership, limited company, VAT or non-VAT registered. Business Accountz Basic makes bookkeeping enjoyable and simple.
You can see and edit everything you enter, and using Accountz Rapid Data Entry system, you will do it far more quickly than anything else currently available. Business Accountz Basic is pure bookkeeping. That is, it is 100% transaction based, rather than form based which most other software is. The advantage is that you can take all your source documents (eg. invoices, receipts, bank statements etc) and enter them in one after another in any order directly into a table.
Once entered you can re-arrange them in any order you like (eg. view them by Tax Date, VAT Date, Amount, Reference etc.). You can also edit anything whenever you like directly in the table. All Business Accountz Packages are for Mac OSX 10.4+, Windows Vista/XP/7, Linux |
