Le Cash Manager de Banana Comptabilité est une application totalement gratuite.

Il permet de gérer les entrées et les sorties d'argent d'une petite entreprise. Le fichier peut également être complémentaire au fichier comptable principal :

• Enregistrer tous les mouvements de caisse dans le fichier
• Importer à la fin du trimestre (ou de la période de votre choix) les totaux des catégories et des comptes dans le fichier comptable principal.

Vous aurez l'avantage d'avoir tous les détails des mouvements de trésorerie dans un seul fichier, et le fichier de la comptabilité principale ne présentera que les totaux regroupés par trimestre ou par période de votre choix, ce qui simplifiera la comptabilité principale.

Créer le fichier

• Ouvrir le modèle avec la WebApp Banana Comptabilité Plus
• Avec la commande Fichier > Propriétés fichier, définir la période, le nom de l'entreprise et la devise de base (on peut faire le  budget et la comptabilité dans n'importe quelle devise).
• Avec la commande Fichier > Enregistrer sous, enregistrer le fichier. Il est utile d'indiquer dans le nom du fichier, le nom du cabinet et l'année. Par exemple, 'Caisse-Rossieur-20xx.ac2'.

ATTENTION : Si vous fermez le fichier sans sauvegarder, vous perdrez les données que vous avez inséré. Sauvegardez toujours le fichier sur votre ordinateur.

The model, while having a simple and essential setup, still allows you to manage accounting professionally.

• You can customize the accounts and categories at any time, adapting it to your specific needs.
• The Accounts and Categories tables provide an immediate overview of the balances for each account and category, allowing you to maintain full control over your financial situation.
• By setting up the customer ledger, you can issue invoices to your clients with the added benefit of having them automatically recorded in your accounting.
• You can speed up the entry of transactions by importing bank data and using Rules: for each imported transaction, you enter a keyword (Rule) that completes all other elements of the transaction (counterparty, cost center...). On subsequent imports, whenever the program finds the keyword in the imported transaction, it completes it automatically, significantly reducing work time and minimizing the risk of errors.
