Enter - “The Analyser”. “If you use Sage 50 then you should also have The Analyser”, said Kevin Salter (BBS Computing Ltd) at the recent Softworld Accounting and Finance show. The Analyser was born out of the constraints other report writers, place upon the user. It is an impressive yet simple Reporting Tool utilising the flexibility of Excel, extracting figures directly from the Sage 50 data. The versatile and user-friendly functions can be added to any existing management reporting templates or new spreadsheets can be created within minutes. There is no need for in depth training; if you can use Excel then you can use The Analyser. At the touch of a button, The Analyser extracts both actual and budget data from non-consecutive departments, nominal codes and funds (Charity users only) for any date range. This has enabled existing users to report their own business characteristics not previously possible. An example highlighting this unique function is a company in the leisure industry which can now monitor their financial data by school holidays, along side their traditional monthly reporting, over a rolling five year period.. With this in-depth information effective and efficient decision making, planning and control can be achieved. Additional benefits of The Analyser include the option to add prior year’s data alongside the current year for comparative purposes and to report on single or multiple companies, in one workbook. Furthermore from the face of the Excel reports any value can be drilled down to show the under-lying transactions, without the need to even open the Sage application. The Analyser is a natural addition to your desktop, empowering your business reporting by exchanging re-keying with recalculating - saving time and money.

A director can now use a service address, you no longer need a secretary and the share structure for most companies is simplified. There is lots of info available on www.companiesact2006.co.uk which takes out some of the jargon. The changes are actually quite useful.

For a long form this can make either the document very large in size or of a poor quality. The PDF software I mention preserves the PDF so that text can scale and be extracted or read by a screen reader rather than bitmapping everything.
