Summary: Banana Accounting 4.0
Review: In late 1999 when I discovered that the accounting program I had been using for 15 years was not y2k-ready, I searched the internet for another. I discovered Banana 4.0 and purchased it.
I keep books for a small non-profit organization and also, having been a bookkeeper all of my adult life, I use Banana for my own personal accounting. It is easy to use and can be "customized". I must say I consider it FABULOUS and the little organization is quite satisfied with what I am able to do for them.
Being 75 and not as computer-literate as the younger generation, I have had need of Banana's support on occasion and must say that they are more than excellent in their responses. Once, one of the support persons lamented that her English was inadequate. Well, let me tell you, it is GREAT. You explain what you are having difficulty with and they promptly reply with the solution, always saying, write again if this is not clear. It IS clear. I recommend it highly. And over two years later they are still available to help me when I come up with new things I want to do with the program.

Summary: Easy and flexible
Review: Installation is simple and clear as are the instructions for its use, so the program is soon learnt. The similarity to Excel tables helps above all. The entry tables can be defined by the user and unused fields easily removed. The (almost) unlimited possibility to enter text (up to 255 letters) is very practical. The multi-lingual aspect of the menus is also very valuable for us because the program can be set up in German, French, Italian, English or Spanish and yet it still functions in the same way.

In our opinion, the Import and Export functions are an essential part of Banana Accounting. They give us the possibility for a flexible exchange of accounting data with a multitude of other applications. The exchange of data, for example accounting transactions, is ideal in HTML format. Year-end accounts can be filed in this format and we are assured that the data can be reread many years later, even in places where the program has not been installed! Through its simple data structure (one data file per client), whole files can be transferred to another calculator at great speed. The same with problems and questions - it's ideal to be able to transmit the entire accounting in compressed format over the Internet. In this way some slip-ups can be quickly and elegantly remedied.
