Espresso Financials has unparalleled Ease Of Use. You really need to try Espresso Financials to see what we mean by ease of use. All functions and modules are fully integrated into the one program. There is a logical menu system. Our proprietary "Smart-Move" technology allows users to glide through data entry screens just by using the arrow keys on the keyboard. You can enter transactions on one single screen without having to pop-up multitudes of windows just to add extra line items. And our Multi-Document Interface with Accounting Task Bar makes it so easy to work with multiple transaction windows.

Dare we say it? Yes, after giving it a try, you might even think Espresso Financials is enjoyable to use. That's not a term you often hear in association with accounting software. But of course that's the way it should be.

Finding Transactions is a snap with Espresso Financials

Probably the worst trait of most accounting systems is their poor transaction filtering and searching capabilities. After all, what is the good of keying in information if you can't find it again? Espresso Financials offers a simple search and filtering function to allow fast locating of transactions. And if you still can't find the transaction this way then Espresso Financials offers a very powerful query engine.

What if you don't know the original Transaction Reference or exactly when the transaction was entered and you are not sure about the customer name? Perhaps the only thing you know for sure is the stock code they purchased. In these cases Espresso Financials Query Engine is an indispensable tool.

You can even save your queries with runtime parameters for future use. For example you could build a query to find all transactions for customers whose name starts with "B", who spend more than $50, in a runtime specified period and who purchased a "Pitching Machine" product.

Security

Every single menu item and every type of transaction can be password controlled. Rather than being 'greyed-out' the options will disappear completely from view if a user does not have access.

Reliable Industry Standard Data Format

Unlike many vendors Espresso Financials uses an industry standard data storage medium (being Microsoft's SQL Server). It is hard to believe that there are so many financial management systems that use an inaccessible proprietary file format. It is even harder to understand why any company would want to place all their valuable financial information inside such a package. In doing so companies become "locked in" to the application since it may be very difficult if not impossible to extract their financial data and move it to a competitor's product.

With a proprietary data format you can't use any third party reporting or analysis packages. With Espresso Financials there are a plethora of reporting and analysis tools that can read MS SQL Server data files, not to mention the entire Microsoft range of office tools.

Finally there is a real concern for the reliability of the data. Typically Financial Applications with Non Industry Standard data formats have a Data Rebuild or Repair function in the menu. This means that their data occasionally becomes damaged or inconsistent. Espresso Financials doesn't have such an option because this just doesn't happen. Microsoft's SQL Server with full transaction commit and rollback support is that reliable. End of story!

Configurable Dual Periods

Espresso Financials has a range of periods including automatically calculating and configurable weekly periods, fortnightly, monthly and quarterly periods. Also Espresso Financials stores dual periods (a standard period and a summary period for every transaction). This allows for powerful period or summary period analysis. For example if your period basis is weekly then a summary monthly period is also automatically calculated for every transaction.

Open Period Ledger Posting

Many accounting systems (like MYOB for instance) have time consuming period-end or year-end routines, which often destroy the valuable data you have created.

Instead Espresso Financials keeps a full, unlimited history of all transactions ever created. End of period balances and account activity are all maintained in real time.

This means that you can search for, view and print historical transactions and run reports from any previous period or year. Imagine being able to draw upon the rich history of data for analysis and comparison.

Matching

It is not uncommon for customers choose to pay a particular invoice rather than the oldest one. Once allocated this matching information is often hidden in other accounting systems. With Espresso Financial's Matching Tab you can always see how a payment was matched to an invoice and vice versa. And by double clicking on the matched transaction you can view the matched transaction.

Espresso Financials has an automatic matching function, which can be overridden for individual transactions. You can even keep track of payment matchings to individual line items with the Match Detail button. Click here to see an example.

Batch Processing

Using Espresso Financials, companies that process extremely high volumes of data can group transactions into batches for bulk processing. There is also a number of special bulk processing functions such as order invoicing, banking, reminder letters, statement processing and return processing for replacements and refunds.

Built for Microsoft Windows

Espresso Financials has been engineered to take full advantage of the latest Microsoft Windows Operating Systems. Because Espresso is specifically built for Windows it has powerful time saving features like a standard Windows menu systems, Toolbars, Multi Document Interface and Tree Structures for stock and the GL. Also your users will instantly be familiar with its modern Windows look and feel. More importantly it supports all Windows fonts and print formatting.
