Tax Reports:
VAT Return can be used in other tax schemes but ties in closely with the UK VAT-100 form for faster filing.

Track your best customers (in terms of sales) and monitor which customers have payments overdue using the Customer Aged Debt report.

Products:
Find your best selling products or generate a stock report showing how much stock you have bought and sold in a time period.

Output Format:
All reports can be printed or emailed. Reports are produced in HTML, CSV and ZIP (containing both) formats.

Comparisons:
Most financial reports allow a comparison report to be added alongside to help you compare a previous tax year with your current one.

Container Accounts:
Use container accounts to reduce the detail level in reports, hiding individual accounts to give an overview.

Consolidate:
When your Year End has passed and you’ve reconciled all your bank and credit card statements, use the Consolidate option in the P&L Report to start the new tax year.

• Requires iOS 7.0 or later

Easy Books is nominally free but if you sign up for unlimited transactions ($29.99), customer invoicing ($29.99), online syncing ($31.99), and the Time Tracker ($16.99), you’ve kissed more than a hundred bucks goodbye.

There are two versions of the app available: one for iOS and another for Mac OS X. The iOS app runs on any iOS device (iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch) running iOS 7.0 or later. The Mac app runs on any Mac running OS X 10.7 “Lion” or later.

The two apps are compatible with each other, but are charged separately. You won’t be charged twice within the same family of devices, so all your add-ons for iOS will run on all your iOS devices (but not your OS X devices. Similarly, all your add-ons for the Mac app will run on all your Macs at no extra charge, but not on the iOS version.
