Read what users are saying about SmartLedger.

SmartLedger's mission in life is to help you track income and expense without having to type numbers, dates, and names. SmartLedger makes use of pop-down lists that automatically grow as you use the program, so that you can click, rather than type, most of your information into the ledger.

If you don't have time for a full-blown financial program but need something more than a spreadsheet, SmartLedger may be just the tool for the job. (more )

Here's a snapshot of SmartLedger's main screen. Please scroll down for more about the program and instructions for downloading it.

SmartLedger (cont'd)

SmartLedger is ideal for adding up randomly all those receipts you've stuffed into a grocery sack, awaiting your accountant's attention. Don't sort them out by hand—just start with the first one and continue till you reach the bottom of the bag. Leave sorting and subtotaling to the program.

This application's apparent simplicity can be deceiving. Behind the scenes, a kind of artificial intuition works to help you enter your transactions more quickly than you would believe possible.

SmartLedger is flexible and won't lock you into account reconciliations. Enter only the transactions that are meaningful to you or your accountant. Reconcile when you want to, using the checkboxes and Accounts button.

What's New in Version 2.8.2

The eBay Calculator has been kicked up a notch to make it more user friendly. It now has onscreen buttons for assisted printing, searching, and sending your eBay sales income directly to SmartLedger. This should be great for eBay sellers. My friendly neighborhood guitar shop asked for an application that would do these things a year or so ago, and I built for them something that worked. But it was a bit rough at the edges. This version I hope takes it to the next level and is dedicated to Christine.

PriceUpdater™ and LinkCaddy™ users, please note: SmartLedger is included in PriceUpdater and LinkCaddy. A second installation of SmartLedger on the same computer is not recommended.
