Will my ACCOUNTANT be able to edit or just view my spreadsheets?

 Your accountant must have a copy of the software to view and make year-end adjustments to your files. See the  Accountants page for more information... http://bigez.com/accountants.html

Is this an ANNUAL purchase?

Yes. The files we provide and the data you enter become one-and-the-same. You need to purchase Big E-Z Bookkeeping each year. For most people this will be in January, at the start of their fiscal year.

We will provide you with a new, improved set of Excel spreadsheets so you can start the year with a clean slate. We will also send you a new CD, a new Big E-Z Receipt Storage Book, and another FULL year of support.

 

 
Is this a CASH or ACCRUAL System and is there a Balance Sheet?

It's cash-basis accounting with double-entry accuracy. The Account Balance Tracker is similar to a Balance Sheet and will allow you to see the BIG picture.

 

 

Can I set up COST CENTERS?

Yes you can set up Cost Centers These were designed specifically for subcategories that have both income and expenses associated with them.

You can use these for a wide variety of expenses.  Here are three examples: for a personal account, an income-earning teenager with his own expenses;  for a non-profit account, Boy Scouts Popcorn sales and Scout Bucks credits broken down scout-by-scout; or for a business account, Rental Property management with income and expenses tracked by property.

 

What if I follow a FISCAL YEAR?

For 2012, we have made it easier than ever before to change your fiscal periods. You adjust your fiscal periods only once on the Settings Page of Period 1 (January) and it makes a global change throughout the system.

 
Will this software work on a MAC computer?

No. It is currently only available for Microsoft Excel 2003, 2007 and 2010 with a XP, VISTA, or Windows 7 operating system.

Some customers have said they use a program called Crossover to simulate the Windows Operating System. Or you may try VMWARE Fusion. We neither endorse nor recommend these products since we have not researched their capabilities.

If a MAC version of the Big E-Z System becomes available, we will notify you. Complete this form

Can I track MILEAGE and other travel expenses?
The Big E-Z System will track miles driven in the Cash&Charges worksheet. Cumulative data for mileage can be seen if you scroll to the far right on the Year-to-Date Checks and if you scroll down on the Year-to-Date Income Statement.
Can I store NAMES & ADDRESSES?

The Deposits worksheet allows you to track 100 names and addresses in the subcategory section. For example, if a small church wants to keep track of each donor's contributions it is now simple and easy to do so using up to 100 subcategories in Deposits.

Can I install this on MORE THAN ONE computer?

It is required that you purchase a separate license for each computer you plan to install it on.

Will it track PAYPAL and other online transactions?

You can track PayPal purchases (on the Checks worksheet) and transfers, sales and related fees (on the Deposits worksheet). The Account Balance Tracker will give you monthly account balances. To view up-to-date PayPal balances, go to the Summary file and scroll down near the bottom of the Year-to-Date Income Statement.

Can I track PAYROLL, 1099s and W2 amounts?

The Big E-Z System will track up to 100 names for 1099s in the Subcategory section of the Checks and Cash&Charges worksheets. You could track payroll/W2 information by using the Subcategory section also but it will take a special set up. Contact us directly for more information.

Will it PRINT reports?

Yes. There are Print Report buttons near the top of each page. All worksheets can be printed except the charts. You may use our current print set up or create your own. New for 2012, the reports automatically adjust and print only the data has been entered on each worksheet.

What are the REQUIREMENTS? Do I need Excel?

Yes. You will need Microsoft Office/Excel 2003, 2007 or 2010 on a PC with XP, VISTA or Windows 7.

 

What is the difference between the SINGLE & MULTIPLE account versions?

The Single Account version will track up to 200 checks (or debits or transfers) per month for 1 checking account.

The Multiple Account version will track up to 4 checking accounts, each one with up to 200 checks (or debits or transfers) written each month.

 

Is SUPPORT included?
  

Support is included for 12 months or one calendar year from the date of purchase with valid license code.

Can I TRANSFER AMOUNTS from the Free Big E-Z Cash&Charges Expense Tracker or my own spreadsheets into the Big E-Z Bookkeeping System?

No. Due to the extensive programming in our spreadsheets we have locked down the formulas and in so doing, the program does not allow importing from other spreadsheets.

 
Do you have a TRIAL VERSION available?
We do not have a trial version but to get a feel of how you like using our spreadsheets you may consider downloading the Free Big E-Z Cash&Charges Expense Tracker. This Free worksheet is just one piece of the complete Big E-Z Bookkeeping System that was originally designed for small businesses and personal users.
Can I change the date format from US to EUROPEAN?

Yes. With a couple of key strokes from within the Settings tab for each monthly file (or Period), you may change to the European date format.
