BeanCounter

BeanCounter is a handy business management tool designed for small companies. It helps you tackle bookkeeping tasks, keep track of the time spent on projects, and whip up invoices quickly for your services.

Manage Multiple Companies with Ease

With BeanCounter, every new company gets its own database file. This means you can easily manage as many businesses as you want! Just remember to open the right database file when it's time to switch things up.

Easy Database Setup

No one likes wasting time on setup, right? That’s why BeanCounter can create default accounts for income, expenses, equity, or assets. You won’t have to manually set these up each time—how cool is that?

Smooth Data Importing

If you're worried about migrating data from other apps or banks, don’t be! BeanCounter lets you import data from CSV, QIF, OFX, or QFX files. This way, you can bring in transaction files straight from your bank or move over from another financial app without breaking a sweat.

Track Projects and Time

This app is perfect for keeping tabs on different projects for specific clients. It even has a timer feature that records how long it takes to finish tasks. You can use this info later to create accurate invoices!

Build Your Contacts Database

You can easily create a contacts database for both clients and suppliers. Plus, if you already have info saved in your Address Book, importing it is a breeze!

Create Budgets and Analyze Reports

Want to keep an eye on your finances? You can set budgets for each account and use BeanCounter’s reporting tools to analyze everything—your balance, income, cash flow, equity—you name it! And if you need to share reports? No problem! They can be exported to PDF or sent via email.

Getting Started with BeanCounter

Now I’ll be honest: with so many features packed into BeanCounter, it might feel a bit overwhelming at first. The app does come with Help documentation that answers some common questions. Just remember that you won’t get tips while you're using the app itself.

A Few Quirks

During our testing phase, we found one little hiccup: you can't create a new business database without also generating default accounts—even if that option is available in the app.

If you're curious about trying out BeanCounter, give it a shot! It could really simplify managing your business finances!
