Fat Elk Software announces a new single-entry small business bookkeeping program, the TAXACCTS Small Business Journals. TAXACCTS has been designed and programmed especially for non-accounting trained small business owners who's primary bookkeeping requirement is profit and loss and the resultant tax liabilities. TAXACCTS is not "just another accounting package." The program is ready for immediate use. Accounts are pre-numbered and pre-titled for income, expense and purchases. The most commonly used income and expense accounts are permanently titled, but a type-over utility permits the user to customize generically titled accounts. A SPECIAL CHART OF ACCOUNTS permits easy record keeping for tax-sensitive expense such as business use of a personal vehicle and office-in-home expense, owner's draw and/or capital accounts, etc. Optional use of special accounts is permitted. TAXACCTS reports a formal income statement, including a true and complete cost of goods sold, and various summary and detail reports. The program provides simplified payables and receivables handling and clever but simple special monitoring capabilities. TAXACCTS is a program that any user can master quickly. The program is entirely menu-driven, and there are no function key or double-key combinations. The user's guide is only about 120 pages, but most of the documentation relates to bookkeeping requirements. This information is presented tersely but clearly in a manner that a small business owner - or non accounting trained employee - can understand and use correctly. The program requires an IBM compatible computer, 256k memory, 720k disk space and any continuous feed printer. The suggested retail price is $75.00. Fat Elk Software is offering the program through direct sales ( Via a demonstration version on electronic bulletin boards - check demoware on pc-link) at the introductory price of $37.50 through December 31, 1992. Special wholesale discounts are being offered during this period. Principal partners of FAT Elk Software are Quentin L. Cooper and James A. Saxton. After a lengthy career in insurance management, Quinten Cooper spent almost ten years doing professional tax consulting, during which time he was enrolled to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. His contact with numerous small business owners and his efforts to help them find ways to keep credible profit and loss records showed the need for and inspired a program that any small business owner can learn to use. Jim Saxton has a varied career in computer and peripheral technical engineering and customer service. Jim re-programmed and enhanced Quentin's original program to marketable condition while retaining the ease of use parameters of the original design.
