First you'll have to clear your desk and spend a few hours inputting every piece of information about company bank accounts, customers, pricing, VAT, employees, pension contributions... the lot. It's boring but necessary (and is aided by idiot-proof setup wizards). And now, with a few hours input from you each week, Instant Financial Suite 10 takes over.

The Accounts side gives you access to sales and purchase ledgers and to the bank and cash book; customer and supplier records let you track and chase bad payers--you can generate VAT returns and make e-payments to participating banks, and the task manager keeps you on track with lists and alerts of jobs to do; the software generates invoices and financial stationery. Credit control lets you swiftly chase late payers (and find out what you owe). And the Accounts Analyser (new to version 10) gives an instant snapshot of your business's health without running any reports. Compare the business onscreen, with year-on-year comparisons for example, to help you make better decisions.

Meanwhile, the Payroll side will do all the maths for Income Tax, National Insurance, sickness and maternity pay, student loans and so on. Come payday, the software is admirably flexible, allowing you to generate weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly payslips (or a mixture). You'll find it supports all the major pension schemes including the Stakeholder pension. And you can build a bank of management information on your staff, with the software supplying current and historical personnel details. It will generate P14/60, P11, P32 and P35 forms and keep you on the right side of the law. You can submit returns direct from the software via the Internet and, come the year end, it will walk you through the step-by-step year-end return.

And now you have control. You're not drowning in paper, and you're not spending money on contracting out these functions. More crucially, you can see where the business is going, so you're more likely to stay in business. --John Rennie
