• the software is free
• the software is open source (meaning you can grab a copy of the source code to see how it is done, or better still, modify it to suit your needs)
• the software is available on most popular platforms, so you can run exactly the same software, with the same features and file formats on Windows^®, Linux or even Mac^® OS X platforms. The application will blend in seamlessly with your native environment with none of the sluggishness.
• powerful reporting suite, which is fully extendable. Reports can be formatted in either html, PDF, or even XML
• automatic tax calculation for invoice functions and ledger entries
• Ability to open multiple books, and to transfer entries between them using the clipboard or drag and drop
• automatic zooming between entry accounts, ledger accounts and invoices, so you can track the postings and perform impact analysis very quickly
• revolutionary ad hoc reporting facility. You can quickly select entries which share common criteria, and click on either the html or PDF button to generate a professional report for the selected entries

• Memorised transactions with full ledger postings, so you can put in new periodic entries with minimum key strokes
• Scheduled entries facility, for Direct Debits and Standing Orders

• three separate reporting periods, namely financial tax year, VAT quarters, and Company reporting year, keeping the tax man, the VAT man, and your accountant happy
• Key bindings for most functions, allowing for speedy data entry
• multiple level password protection, separating between normal data entry and other privileged functions. Your data is protected against unauthorised access
• multi-lingual. Internationalisation is built in, allowing you to customise the application to speak any language of your choice. Unicode is supported, so it can even speak non Latin based languages. Regional tax regimes can also be configured in, although the default application comes with British tax codes
• full control of ledger postings, with ledger accounts being created automatically on the fly as you enter your data. The whole application revolves around the data entry screen and accounting functions will attempt to make intelligent decisions for you on your behalf. You can always override or fine tune these rules at any time
