Kent and Oxford members upgrade their software offeringCLA members David Knight and Richard Tustian have upgraded the accounting software package they offer through their company Knight Tustian. The package was originally designed for agriculture and horticulture, but has proved useful for many diverse businesses.David and Richard, who farm respectively in Kent and Oxfordshire, diversified from their core farming businesses into computer software about 10 years ago. Their core products are the accounting software programs Cash Book and Cashflow. All their software is simple to use, easy to learn, and takes very little support and maintenance. Their newest package is Cashplus, which links the main features of the previous two and has used feedback and further development to make it even better. As it was originally designed for agriculture and horticulture, Cash Plus effectively handles numbers, quantities and contra accounts. It is based on straightforward cash books, with full bank reconciliation and automatic VAT reports. It shows customer or supplier transactions and individual allocation totals over any period selected. During the year, there is a full range of management reports that compare actual and forecast figures, both monthly and to date. At any time of year, a profit estimate can be calculated and enterprises analysed. An enterprise costing facility has been added, for a start: a unique method of allocating costs, usually a laborious exercise after the year end. It is now easy to do and always up to date. The enterprise analysis shows how different parts of the business are performing - an essential aid for improving profitability. Another huge advantage of the system is that any number of bank accounts and businesses can be run on just one program, on PCs running Windows Vista, XP or 2000. The cost starts at £295 for small farms and businesses, with the main version at £595. They even offer an annual rental. Annual software maintenance, including telephone support and updates, is £125 (£95 for the Lite Version).
