I have been an advocate for CashManager since 1995, and have had many clients buy the software. It is software that produces a result, and which enables the client to get a good picture of their business.
You will not believe that I have coached more than 150 clients in the last 13 years and have not yet gone to a new client to find they had a budget. There are a lot of people out there who simply just don't get it. CashManager does all this for them, they don't even really need a spreadsheet, but until they have seen what their business does each month and why, they may as well be blind.

I would like to pass on my gratitude and praise for the help that Carol (Accomplish Support Staff) gave me. She helped me this morning to roll over from the last financial year to the new year. Carol was brilliant when it came to explaining what I needed to to do, how to do it and the reason why we were doing it. She was very patient and answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable with everything that I had to do. Please let her know that I am feeling much more confident with the program because of her help.
Kindest regards,

For someone who had no idea about computers and not much office experience, I found Accomplish CashManager very easy to use since we started our new business in 2007. I have only had to ring the help line once. I am actually enjoying doing all the bookwork!

Hi, I am a Chartered Accountant and I use iMac OSX (Tiger) and the only thing that stopped me getting a Mac some time ago was the thought of having to downgrade to a lesser accounting software. (I use Accomplish CashManager). By purchasing an emulater (I use Parallels) and loading Windows XP, I can run any Windows based software on my iMac side-by-side with iMac's operating system. No drama, no hassles and I get to keep my Cashmanager - which I use for all accounting requirements, whether a cash based system or the full package with General Ledger, whether with GST or wthout GST. While it also has the full Creditors and Debtors modules, I have not used them yet.
Can I also make a comment that my clients get into all sorts of difficulties with other software providers when trying to correct an error as none of these are as user friendly as Accomplish CashManager. And in regards to support, it makes no difference to the Accomplish support team whether I run it on a Windows PC or my iMac - it is just not relevant.
One thing I have noticed with great pleasure using iMac is that I can click and drag any report from Accomplish CashManager from its directory (or wherever I have stored it) into the iMac environment and manipulate it with much more ease than Windows gives. In other words, I have the best of all worlds.

CashManager has been a godsend. If it had not been for CashManager we would have had to outsource our accounting work as the alternative options were simply too confusing. Saving money is always a good thing. Together with the support network that Accomplish offer, every small to medium sized business would have the best possible solution in CashManager for their accounting matters.
I also attended a CashManager training session and it was great that it was hands on, I didn't expect that. It added a nice dimension to the training. I found it helpful to have someone right there in front of me to ask questions and be shown solutions straight away. It was also good to see others in my area using CashManager. I found a lot of the content relevant, and hopefully one day I will understand more of the accounting side of it all!

We have been using the Accomplish CashManager accounting system for some months now and we just wanted to compliment you on your extremely good support service.
In the initial set up of our accounts and our invoice format, we called almost on a daily basis for help and support and we found the support staff to be second to none. At times we had got ourselves into a fair bit of a fix in trying to work it out and every time the support staff methodically worked through each issue with us to a very satisfactory result.
A very big thank you from all the staff here at Classic Supplies.
Kind Regards,

My thanks for your help to transfer data to the new financial year 1 April 2008. In a 20 minute phone call, you (Accomplish Support Staff) guided me through the transfer process and the back up for the previous year. We also installed the latest CashManager update and you gave me a short tutorial on how to use it.
I am a lawyer in practise on my own buying and selling houses for clients. I have been using CashManager to record client trust accounts for 3 years now. The client accounts are kept constantly up to date and at the end on each month I must certify to the NZ Law Society that the accounts are reconciled against the trust account bank statements. I can do this on my own easily. The system contains all the information necessary to satisfy audit requirements.
I have a full support contract with you, for advice when it is needed and you are there for me every time. A splendid service. Thanks again.

I would like to thank the team at Accomplish for all their help and support over the past fourteen months. Every time I call or email I get a prompt response and I get the assistance I require.
For someone like me who is not that confident with this type of programme it is a bit daunting ringing a 'Help' desk and expose my lack of knowledge.
What I have really appreciated is the patience the team have shown in explaining things to me. Sometimes this has meant repeating instructions a number of times and yet at no time I have been made to feel 'dumb'. Each time I learn a little more and slowly I becoming more competent and confident about problem solving for myself.
Thank you folks, you are doing a great job and I recommend your programme to everyone I can as a good business tool but mainly because of the great help desk that surpasses my expectations every time :-)

I just have to write and say thanks for CashManager. Lack of support from my previous software supplier (possibly due to change of ownership) lead to my very good fortune in finding CashManager.The programme is easy use, my first GST printout was awesome as was the support I received when I had a query regarding this. A prompt reply to my call and problem solved in less than a minute. Truly brilliant. Thanks again to all at Accomplish.

To Whom It May Concern:
We strongly recommend Cash Manager to our small to medium sized clients. CashManager is very easy to use; especially for those clients who are confused by debits and credits and those who need to upgrade from manual cash books. We find that CashManager is user friendly from data entry through to the client sending us their file at year end. And there's no tricky year end roll over.

We have a number of clients who use CashManager. It can make the processing of these client's end of year accounts much easier, the data imports straight into our financial statements software. Because CashManager is user friendly it is not difficult to train clients with relatively limited accounting knowledge on how to use it. The support offered by the Accomplish team is also a good back up. For those clients who want monthly reporting, CashManager offers a range of good basic reports which are easy to follow.

I just wanted to say a very big thank you for all your help and calm support on Tuesday resolving problems I had arising from our main computer crashing and the need for me to retrieve data from our CashManager program and transfer it to our laptop. Thanks to your incredible knowledge and expertise I was able to retrieve all the data and continue working on our GST returns due on Wed. In this very busy world it is always stressful to have a computer go down but thanks to your wonderful team I was able to continue my work and the drama and stress of the situation was greatly diminished.
I would thoroughly recommend any user of CashManager to join up for the helpline - not only do they know their stuff but they speak in a language that we can all understand!

Re: CashManager Software
We have been recommending CashManager software to our clients for the last ten years.
Many clients have taken our recommendation over the years and it would be fair to say that we have been very pleased with the results, and so have our clients.
Currently we have about 100 users who are enjoying the benefits of working with this excellent product.
The reasons we have found this product so good include:
1. Very reasonable price.
2. Simplicity of operation - you do not need to be an accountant to use this product effectively.
3. It is an excellent management tool that helps our clients keep close tabs on the performance of their businesses.
4. It is an excellent tool for preparation of GST returns.
5. The Audit Trail produced provides sufficient analysis of the information to allow us to quickly detect issues with the client's work.
From all other software products we have seen, CashManager is the simplest and the best.
We recommend this product to our clients who need a computer program to help them run their businesses better.

I'd like to compliment your company on your CashManager product, and in particular your helpdesk.
I purchased my business coming up 2 years ago, and have progressed from the Standard CashManager, to adding the Invoicing module, and now to the CashManager Plus. My business turns over approximately $40 million per annum, and at frist I was hesitant that such a simple program to use would satisfy my needs.
I have to say that everything I have thrown at it, CashManager handles with ease, and in an extremely functional way. The only issue I have had, have been of my own making and have been easily fixed.
This brings me on to your helpdesk and team that I have called upon regularly. This is in no way a reflection of the product that I call frequently, rather that the range of features available that I try to incorporate into my business accounts.
Every time I have had occasion to call the helpdesk, I have had exemplary service from your staff. Even during busy times such as the end of financial year, I always receive a call back on support issues in a reasonable timeframe. There have been times where I have been unreachable, yet your team still keep trying to contact me.
Each time, there has been someone knowledgeable and helpful, and who normally can advise me how to fix my problem straight away. Even if they need to see the file, the CashManager program makes it simple to email it direct to your support desk.
Please pass on my best regards to your team, and how much we appreciate their help over the last couple of years.
