This is first modules for the Micro Accountant, it is based on traditional accounting in that you need create COA [Chart of Accounts] certain fields are key default fields and should be kept within the COA  eg., Current Earnings, Checking, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable.

Other important entries are class number and Type number  these are used for balance subtotalling and should be correctly set.

Thank you for the purchase of Micro Accounting. My purpose is to enable greater user control over the accounting information through the use of
