Automate and simplify your work

Innovative new features allow you to dramatically save time and reduce your workload.

 

Save time with the Balance column

Thanks to the new Balance column in the Transactions table, you can instantly spot accounting differences. An incredible help when you have to close the accounting or create the VAT statement. This innovation has been met with great enthusiasm and those who try it never go back!

"It's fantastic! Thanks to the new Balance column, I can quickly identify any errors. If I correct one, I immediately see the next error... Now it takes me only one-third of the time to perform the audit...... - Mr. Eberle

 

Automatically import bank statements

With Banana Accounting Plus Rules, you can quickly turn your bank statement transactions into complete transactions.

  • Import your bank statement digitally – the Advanced plan supports all major banks and standard formats
  • Set up your Rules just once, and they will be automatically applied every time

Bank transactions are now transformed into complete entries with counterpart, cost center, VAT code, etc. The Rules feature is available exclusively with the Advanced plan.

"The Rules from bank import function work great! They make accounting much easier and faster!" - G. Goroesch

Boost your control and editing speed with the Filter and the Temporary Sort Rows

Efficiently review and edit entered data with the Filter and the temporary Sort rows features:

Use the Filter to instantly find the transactions you are looking for and edit them directly from the Transactions table. Remove the filter and the edited entries will go back to their original order.

With the Temporary Sort rows command, you can temporarily arrange the transactions as desired. Remove the sorting criteria to revert back to the original layout.

"The solution with the rows filter and the Ctrl + L shortcut is simply fantastic. I have always wished for it. Well done!" - B. Heller

Digital Links - Say goodby to document hunting

Enhanced functionality for digital document management:
