The most popular accounting programs. Accounting: programs for its maintenance. Drawing up a balance sheet

Business is not always about analyzing huge amounts of information. At least not right away. At the beginning of its activity, the company's only valuable information resource is data on the state of its assets, liabilities and capital. That is, accounting data. And the first step towards global automation of business processes may be choosing an accounting program. Practicing accountant Elena Yakovleva talks about the capabilities of the most common programs.

Before choosing one or another accounting program, you need to analyze the work of your company. The choice of program will be based on what documents you use, what taxation and reporting system is used.

All high-quality programs that help with accounting perform a huge number of functions. But there is a certain set that is typical for everyone, this is:

all aspects of working with primary documents,
carrying out the necessary accounting calculations,
analysis of current legislative articles,
compiling a register of all business transactions,
work on filling out financial reporting forms,
work with assets and liabilities of the enterprise.

Therefore, if it is necessary to maintain accounting records for a small or medium-sized business, then the company will be able to make do with a program with a set of pre-installed functions that will not change. If this is a large enterprise with a lot of subtleties in accounting, then you should choose software that will allow you to integrate additional options or applications.

Free programs

Free is not always bad. Modern programmers offer a large number of their developments that help accountants in their work. But here you need to understand that free software will not provide a comprehensive solution to problems. It will only help for a specific area of accounting. Therefore, free programs will be good helpers for small organizations.

For example, the “Legal Taxpayer” program is well suited for preparing accounting and tax reporting forms, certificates of income for individuals (No. 2-NDFL), special declarations, documents for registering cash registers, as well as for auto-filling out forms and identifying errors. One of the advantages of this software is that it can handle accounting for several companies at once.

Another option for a free program is “Info-Accountant 10.2”. The main functions of this software: processing cash and banking transactions, personnel and warehouse accounting and payroll calculations. This program works with all tax regimes. The only limitation of the free version is 1000 business transactions selected from the journal to be reflected in reports for the year. If there is a need for more operations, you can purchase a paid version.

A convenient option for working with primary documentation is Business Pack. This free program allows you to create invoices, invoices, sales receipts, acts of completion, contracts, payment requests and orders, cash receipts and outgoing orders and much more. All created documents can be exported to the required formats or even to more functional programs. In addition, this accounting program allows you to exchange “primary accounts” through the Telepak service.

To calculate the single tax of individuals and legal entities, the Uroshchenka program is often used. It automatically generates tax returns, receipts for payment at the bank, and allows you to calculate taxes at a rate of 6% and 15%.

As you can see, free programs for accountants help in solving certain problems, which, for the most part, relate to tax reporting. And, of course, one or two free accounting programs, tailored to specific needs, can greatly simplify the work of an accountant in a small enterprise.

Paid accounting programs

If there is a need to fully automate accounting to increase the efficiency of employees and improve control over the financial activities of the enterprise, then it is better to choose paid programs that cover all areas of accounting.

The most common platforms that specialists have been using over the past few years are:

System "1C"
Software "Parus-Enterprise",
Accounting system "Galaktika ERP",
System "BOSS".

The listed software has long proven itself to be the best. Each offer has a wide range of capabilities, high-quality service, and regular updating of all databases. It is these three key features that make them the most popular among modern accountants.

The 1C Accounting system is, without a doubt, one of the leaders in accounting automation. What sections of accounting work can be entrusted to the 1C Accounting system? As experience shows, almost all existing areas: cash, currency transactions, assets, documentation for working with creditors and debtors, production and sales accounting.

In addition, 1C Accounting allows you to generate reports for internal needs using individual forms or create tax or financial reporting taking into account established standards.

Of course, 1C can be called a leader among equals. But we should not ignore other programs that adequately cope with the tasks assigned to them. For example, “Parus-Enterprise”. This is an ideal option for small and medium-sized enterprises of any industry. A distinctive feature of this software is its intuitive interface.

What does Parus-Enterprise offer to users? Firstly, a unified information and management space. This includes everything from accounting and taxes to human resources. Secondly, the program has excellent integration with Microsoft Excel, which allows you to both create and export tables or documents to an application familiar to many. Thirdly, there are ample opportunities for quickly developing templates. In addition, there is an extensive library of forms and templates based on accepted standards.

Another option for helping employees and automating the work of an accountant is the Galaktika ERP program. An important feature of this proposal is that the program allows you to provide reporting not only according to Russian, but also international standards. This approach will be a big plus for large companies with partners or representatives in other countries. In addition, the software can generate all the necessary documents related to the support of monetary transactions. It is also possible to create and maintain separate records for fixed assets and intangible assets. The block related to taxation has not been left unattended. It is constantly updated to fully comply with legal requirements, which allows you to quickly and error-free create and fill out the necessary document.

The “Boss” system has a whole set of programs for automated accounting. The most popular of them is the “Boss Accountant” program. Conventionally, “Boss Accountant” can be divided into two modules: financial and material. This program allows you to keep track of transactions on current accounts, record cash transactions, record fixed assets, inventory records, record payments to suppliers and customers, record planned and actual costs, and this is not a complete list of the capabilities of this program.

In short, if you are thinking about how to optimize the work of your accounting department, then you should pay attention to modern specialized programs. Today, similar software is available both for large holdings and for individual entrepreneurs, where all employees are one person. With the correct implementation of such programs, it will be possible to significantly improve the efficiency of the company, as well as avoid errors in the preparation of accounting documents, which can lead to unpleasant consequences.

Today, accounting programs are required to keep records of the work of various enterprises. Modern accounting programs help control all financial processes occurring in an organization.
Accounting programs allow you to:

Keep records of fixed assets in the organization;
Calculate the profitability or unprofitability of private and budgetary institutions;
Conduct payroll;
Keep records of expenses in the enterprise;
Analyze the timeliness of payments to suppliers and partners.

In addition to the above capabilities, accounting automation programs allow you to fully control financial issues and easily carry out any operations within the organization.

If you think back to twenty years ago, the accounting process was significantly different from what we know today. Previously, all accounting, even for large enterprises, was carried out according to journal entries. That's the case now. The market for accounting programs is so wide that every entrepreneur will be able to select automated systems for accounting audits. Therefore, modern accountants can be called lucky; along with the computerized generation, accounting systems have entered their lives to make their lot easier.

What are the advantages of keeping records through special programs?

Enterprises that use professional and proven utilities to help with accounting to conduct the financial activities of private or budgetary institutions open up the following opportunities:

If you choose the right accounting program, then it will be possible to fully support the financial transactions of private and budgetary institutions;

Such systems are also used for budgetary institutions;

Trade missions.

The capabilities of accounting systems are quite extensive. Therefore, the choice of accounting program should be based on what the organization does.

What programs are there for accounting?

The list of utilities, the installation of which will help you record and analyze accounting transactions, is quite wide. Therefore, each authorized representative or direct owner of the company must select one that is suitable for the type of activity of an LLC, private enterprise or budgetary company.

Program "Sky"

The Sky utility is necessary in accounting for complete reporting. The system works free of charge and allows you to support the following operations:

Demushkin Yu.V.

Choosing a computer program for an accountant in full compliance with the requirements of accounting, tax and labor legislation is not easy.

Moreover, one brand, 1C, as a monopolist in the accounting software market, seems to “overshadow” all other, sometimes quite successful, developments.

Let's remember how accountants worked in the late 80s and early 90s of the last century. Not all accounting departments have yet acquired personal computers, but wherever possible, spreadsheets have already been introduced: SuperCalc, Quattro and Excel. They successfully replaced large paper statements and reports.

In these spreadsheets, all transactions were sequentially entered into the so-called business journal. Information about the date, Debit, Credit, amount and content of the transaction was entered there. In the future, it was possible to obtain samples from the journal to fill out regulated accounting reports.

But everything has its limitations, and this convenient technology for entering and outputting accounting documents began to be transferred to separate accounting programs written by enthusiasts. The very first were Ukrainian programmers with a product called “ Finance without problems”(1990, Mariupol). Soon programs appeared 1C(1991), Turbo Accountant (1991), Info-Accountant(October 1992), and “everything came to a head...”.

More than twenty years have passed since then. The author of the article, working as an accountant in commercial companies, as a leading IT specialist at the State Research Institute for Development of the Tax System of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, during this time he tested in practical work most of the accounting computer programs presented on the Russian market.

All of them are designed for comprehensive automation of accounting, tax, management, personnel, warehouse and operational accounting. At the same time, the following almost opposite paths taken by accounting software developers are very clearly visible:

Franchising trade (trade and innovation network)

Sale of programs through a network of organizations certified under one brand, very widespread and promoted. The most striking example is a trade and implementation network for the provision of comprehensive services for automation of accounting and office work, operating under a very well-known brand 1C (1C: Franchising). The largest of the companies included in the franchise network are 1C-RARUS, 1C: First BIT, 1C: Accounting and Trade, 1C-Business Architect and others. They operate under a single brand and provide consulting services in choosing programs (more precisely, choosing from various configurations made on the same 1C platform), as well as delivery, installation, implementation, after-sales service and training.

This is the so-called INDUSTRIAL QUALITY OF SERVICE, when 1C stands behind small companies that deal with the specific needs of a particular client. At the same time, the 1C company itself sells some of its “boxed” software products, but in the basic configuration, which has significant limitations, through the head office in Moscow and a dealer network in Russia and the CIS.

For full-fledged work, end users still have to contact franchisee implementers on a paid basis, which greatly slows down the process of implementation and the beginning of full use of accounting programs.

In-house software development for accountants

Sales of programs by the developers of their own software.

Sales are carried out through an office and dealer network in Russia and the CIS, through online trading.

Let's take a closer look at the most famous and successful programs of companies following the second path, which have gained well-deserved popularity among accountants on the Russian market.

The accounting programs discussed below have very little circulation on the market (according to the author’s estimates, less than 0.1% of the market), of which we can note, for example:

Online service or Internet accounting

All accounting programs listed up to this point belong to the type of software product that is now called Offline service. Although without an Internet connection it is no longer possible to consider a software product as something completely professional. In this case, the program itself and the databases are traditionally located on the customer’s computer or network.

Recently, many of the listed accounting programs have had versions in the form Online service or Internet accounting, using technologyremote access– this is the ability to work with software products WITHOUT INSTALLATION on your own computer. Your data is stored not with you, but somewhere in the “clouds”, on the Internet. All calculations go there. And how long and in what quality they are stored is no longer up to you. But companies providing such a service convince that they are doing everything to ensure that the risks of losing data from all kinds of hardware and software failures, “power” and unauthorized access are minimal.

But do you need to give others “weapons” against themselves and their cause?

It turns out that with the “discovery” of the Internet, this is exactly what we are doing...

This includes a network of franchisees, used honestly and brilliantly for the first time in Russia by Boris Nuraliev, and parodying other people’s names, similarities to well-known trademarks. This is also a kind of marketing move, although it may not be entirely marketing, but some other... Since copying part of someone else's name, as it seems to us, is far from the best move... Although it can bring its own commercial fruits. ..

Only developers who are confident in the high quality of their software product - the Info-Accountant program - can decide to take such a step. It is no coincidence that one of our users, after carefully comparing 14 accounting programs, chose the Info-Accountant program.

The first accounting program "Parus"

Advantages

“Parus” is one of the first accounting programs on the Russian market, historically used by many, especially budget companies. It has a simple and intuitive interface and is easy to maintain.

Program updates do not occur quickly enough and often do not keep up with changes in legislation, which forces accountants to solve problems on their own through manual adjustments or keeping records outside the system.

The accounting program “1C” is the undisputed leader in Russia and the CIS countries; according to recognition, this software is worthy of the title of “best”.

Advantages

Low price of the basic solution and ease of support. There are a large number of both 1C programmers and accountants who have experience working with this software.

Configuration 1C

Accounting 8 takes into account most of the integration schemes available today. The program can be used in web browsers and thin clients.

Updates are released regularly and take into account the latest changes in legislation. The possibilities for preparing regulated reporting are also expanding.

For example, in connection with the introduction of new industry standards by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation for a number of companies in the financial sector, 1C Company, together with its partners, developed an industry solution for preparing reports according to the new standards " 1C: accounting and management for professional securities market participants" The configuration contains integration modules with exchange data. A huge block of work is devoted to accounting for securities (stocks, futures) and working with the deposit block. The system architecture contains more than 850 metadata objects, of which more than 100 are tables and aggregates.
The 1C company has a large number of franchisees and development partners ().

Flaws

1C software in the field of accounting and payroll is the standard in terms of price-quality ratio.

SAP Software - FICO Module

Advantages

High scalability and speed of processing large amounts of data. The solution runs on the technical basis of SAP NetWeaver, which allows a variety of SAP modules and solutions to seamlessly integrate with each other. The system is being actively implemented and used in large holding companies.

Flaws

Support and implementation of SAP solutions without the involvement of SAP consultants is currently impossible.
The high cost of licenses and the level of salaries of SAP consultants are a serious deterrent when purchasing this solution.

Other players in the Russian market include accounting programs Diasoft, Galaktika, and Microsoft Dynamics AX.

Business entities, to one degree or another, maintain accounting records. To do this, they can use the most common means (various books and magazines) or use programs and services, which can be divided into free, paid for, and specialized services on the Internet. Accounting software makes it much easier, allowing you to receive up-to-date data in a timely manner.

Small businesses and ordinary entrepreneurs do not have enough free cash so that they can afford to purchase accounting software on a paid basis.

However, these entities can use free accounting software for small businesses. However, you need to remember that they are free conditionally, and you need to pay for advanced versions.

When choosing a program, you need to focus on the tasks that it should perform. Let's take a closer look at what programs exist.
