About

Ideally suited for small businesses and individuals, Basic Bookkeeping (BBK) was rated the "Best of Business Shareware" by PC World and among the Best 100 Downloads by Computer Novice. Basic Bookkeeping is a revolutionary Windows software that will put on auto-pilot the management of accounting-related tasks. Through its simplicity of usage, Basic Bookkeeping application is intended for small businesses and individuals without accounting knowledge. Basic Bookkeeping is an accounting program for business owners , not accountants. Unlike double entry systems, Basic Bookkeeping's single entry method is intuitive. You simply enter your income and expenses. There are no credit, debits or other accounting jargon to worry about. If you have used "Dome" books (e.g., "Simplified Monthly Accounting", etc), you will be right at home with Basic Bookkeeping. The single entry method is well suited to small businesses including sole proprietors, partnerships and S-corporations.
