A new version of AccountsMate has been released. This is the 2nd release and is another significant update that will allow you to

  • drill into related data on your products, such as sales, purchases, despatches, deliveries and adjustments.
  • sort your nominal information in “chart of account” order and view by quarter or week (as well as year and month).

The following Highlights section summarises the release features and for more information see the Details section.
