Chartered Accountant Charmaine O'Shea, recommends Cashmanager RURAL to all her clients as 'the programme to use' to manage their finances. A dairy farmer herself, Charmaine is well aware of what farmers need in an accounting programme to help them manage their accounts easily and efficiently. “I've personally used Cashmanager RURAL for my own farm accounts for about 20 years and about 15 years in my accounting practice.

“The programme has some fantastic features, such as the cashbook, budgeting and the actual to budget. I tell people don't buy it to save money on your accounting fees, but buy it so you have better reporting and don't find yourself with any unforeseen surprises at end of year.

“Cashmanager RURAL simplifies the job for the client and makes our job easier. If we are handed a reconciled accounts report by someone using the programme it free's us up to focus on the bigger picture of the clients business.

“I'd encourage anyone to use Cashmanager RURAL, it's a wonderful programme.”

Chartered Accountant Sandra Cordell says she has lots of clients using Cashmanager RURAL and Cashmanager RURAL ONLINE, a program she describes as the 'bees knees'!

A farmer herself, Sandra has used Cashmanager RURAL at home to manage her dairy farm accounts for 15 years, and recommends it to clients as the perfect program for managing their farm finances.

Earlier this year Sandra joined others now using Cashmanager RURAL ONLINE and says it is 'fantastic'. “Cashmanager RURAL ONLINE has so many benefi ts for users, it's a fantastic tool especially for anyone in an equity partnership.”

While farmers will still need the advice and expertise of their accountant, Sandra believes they will get better value for what they do, as Cashmanager RURAL ONLINE makes everyone's job “that much easier.”

Over the last ten plus years I have seen Cashmanager RURAL develop into the superior financial recording and management planning software. It is a substantial aid to farmers as they seek to plan ahead; to create worthwhile forecasts and of course to easily and effectively manage their cash.

From an accountant's viewpoint, Cashmanager RURAL software gives me access to your information at any point in the year. I've been recommending this software to my clients and potential clients for many years. Examples of where Cashmanager RURAL is superior to other programs are. (1) The ease at which forecasts can be created (2) The year end process, which can easily be amended if not done right. (3) GST period close off . How Cashmanager RURAL controls GST period close-off reduces the variances we have to find at year end.
