Banana Accounting provides ready-to-use templates for managing securities and financial investments, including shares, bonds, and other investment instruments.
The templates combine double-entry accounting with detailed investment portfolio management, allowing you to record investment transactions, track quantities and prices, and monitor Book Values, Market Values, investment income, and financial results.
You can choose between Integrated Investment Accounting and Separate Investment Accounting, depending on how you want to organize your accounting.
Integrated Investment Accounting
Manage securities and financial investments within the same Banana Accounting file as your general accounting.
This solution allows you to combine general accounting and detailed investment portfolio management in a single file, keeping investment transactions and accounting records connected.
Separate Investment Accounting (Subledger)
Manage securities and financial investments in a dedicated Banana Accounting file, independently of your general accounting.
The separate file acts as an investment subledger, maintaining detailed information about individual investments, transactions, quantities, prices, Book Values, and Market Values.
Investment balances and financial results can be periodically reconciled with your general accounting, even when it is maintained using other software.
Separate Investment Accounting templates are available for single-currency and multi-currency portfolios, with different accounting base currencies, including CHF, EUR, and USD.
Investment Accounting Extension
The Investment Accounting extension provides the features needed to manage securities, record investment transactions, and monitor portfolio valuations, including Book Values and Market Values.
To get started, choose the appropriate accounting template, set up your investment data, and then use the extension to manage your portfolio.
