The Sage BusinessWorks General Ledger module is the heart of our business accounting solution and is our most powerful module. Combining flexibility with ease of use, General Ledger gives you the critical information you need to make timely and informed business decisions.

The General Ledger module maintains current financial information, as well as transaction history and budget information for up to nine fiscal years. This module also allows a virtually unlimited number of accounts in the chart of accounts, each with up to 999 departments. The General Ledger module not only organizes all of your financial information from our other Sage BusinessWorks modules, it can also combine information from multiple companies into a single consolidation company for financial reports.

The Accounts Payable module for Sage BusinessWorks Accounting efficiently manages your company’s expenditures, saving you time and money. This advanced module stores, sorts, and organizes vendor information and transactions. The Accounts Payable module then uses the information to produce a wide range of reports, including graphical reports, which present you with three-dimensional representations of your purchase history and much more.

In addition, the Accounts Payable module saves you valuable time by dating your open invoices so you can easily discern how old they are, displaying the amount of cash needed to pay the invoices, and suggesting the best day to pay each invoice. You can also use Accounts Payable to take advantage of any early-payment discounts offered to your company. The module can be set up to make automated invoice payments prior to the discount expiration dates, saving you money.

Additionally, Cash Management integrates with Sage Payroll Services for businesses that choose to outsource their payroll.

Among the most important timesaving features of the Cash Management module is its full bank reconciliation capabilities.

Preparing payroll by hand can be a tiresome and time-consuming task. By acquiring the power of the Sage BusinessWorks Payroll module, your in-house payroll tasks can be completed quickly and accurately.

At the core of the Payroll module is a database containing extensive employee information. This includes: pay rates, shifts, filing statuses, accrued vacation hours, sick hours, dates of hire, review dates, termination information, earnings totals, deductions, taxes, custom fields, a notepad, and more. Your accounting and human resources staff can quickly access this information and compile paychecks, W-2s and both federal and state government reports. The result is a cohesive, streamlined payroll system that frees up valuable time.
