What is the program for running a business? Accounting programs

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 journal business transactions. 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 input and output technology 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 of Development tax system The Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, during this time, tested in practical work most of those presented at Russian market accounting computer programs.

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 the 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.

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 does not depend on 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.

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. ..

Afterword

Why is the company that develops the Info-Accountant program not afraid to publish on its website a review of accounting programs created by its competitors? Only developers who are confident in their high quality its software product - the Info-Accountant program. It is no coincidence that one of our users, after carefully comparing 14 accounting programs, chose the Info-Accountant program.

Info-Accountant 8 program

Another review of the most famous accounting programs can be found in the business magazine "Thirst":

  • 3518 views

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.

How realistic is it to conduct full-fledged accounting in a free accounting program? Most accountants will, of course, answer negatively. Let's see how true this is.

If in large enterprises accounting is divided into areas: fixed assets, cash register, warehouse, salary, then in small companies only one person is responsible for accounting, who must be an expert in all matters. It is for such users that the new free program"Info-Enterprise".

What's good about free accounting software? Firstly, because you don’t have to search for it, order it or buy it. Simple enough download from site and get started. Secondly, the fact that to maintain its relevance there is no need to call programmers and enter into service agreements with franchisees - the program is updated automatically via the Internet.

It would seem, what is the point of a development company releasing a free program?

The logic here is simple. On the one hand, the free version does not add any special costs: legislative changes common for both paid and free versions, but they must be released anyway. On the other hand, some users of the free program in the future may also purchase paid products. This is what the calculation is based on.

How limited is the free version of the Info-Enterprise program? Definitely, this is not a demo version; it does not have any restrictions on operation, including restrictions on operating time, volume of data, speed, printing documents, generating reports in electronic form, etc. And then everything depends on the accountant’s requests and the accounting features of the enterprise - as you know, they are all different. The table will help you decide comparisons of program functions. It is also wise to watch the training video (it is installed along with the program) - it gives an overview of all the possibilities, so it is easier to understand whether it is suitable for you or not. Well, if the video is not enough, then you can read the built-in documentation or contact the developers with questions.

Of course, the disadvantage of a free program is that you will have to figure it out yourself, using the teaching materials (videos, electronic manuals, assistants, etc.) that are included in its composition. Or by asking questions technical support forum. For those for whom full-fledged training is important, the free program is not suitable!

In conclusion, we note that although the free version of the Info-Enterprise program appeared at the end of last year, the program itself has existed since 1999 and has long-established traditions and admirers in the accounting community. Perhaps you too will be imbued with the spirit of this program...
