Reporting to the MAX has been developing business accounting software since 1982. The founder, Bob Gossett, was an experienced businessman who knew the very complex and essential functions of accounting -- the bookkeeper uses it for accounts receivable and payable, the accountant uses it for tax preparation and year-end documents, the salesperson needs it for sales entry, and management uses it for profit analysis, cash flow management, and sales measurement. Reporting to the MAX developed a system to meet all these needs!
What is ACTPlus?
ACTPlus is a comprehensive accounting software package. All aspects of financial management and accounting are addressed by ACTPlus: general ledger, financial analysis, accounts receivable, order entry (invoicing), purchase orders, accounts payable, inventory, payroll, check reconciliation, and even the ability to import and export files.
