Easy income & expenses accounting

Income/expense accounting is exclusive to Banana, recommended for those with little or no accounting experience. Although it has the same calculation method as double-entry accounting, it uses the more intuitive concept of 'Income and Expenses'.

In the Account and Category columns, it simply indicates which account the money comes from and which category of expense or income it relates to.

Multi-currency for those working with foreign countries

You can enter transactions in any currency: set the exchange rate and indicate the foreign currency account in the entry. The programme calculates the exchange rate automatically and enters the amount in base currency.

Choose a multi-currency accounting template to start immediately and find the exchange rate table already preset.
