SmartLedger’s mission in life is to help you track income and expense without having to type numbers, dates, and names. SmartLedger makes use of pop-down lists that automatically grow as you use the program, so that you can click, rather than type, most of your information into the ledger.

SmartLedger is ideal for adding up randomly all those receipts you’ve stuffed into a grocery sack, awaiting your accountant’s attention. Don’t sort them out by hand—just start with the first one and continue till you reach the bottom of the bag. Leave sorting and subtotaling to the program.

Do you have a PayPal account? SmartLedger can import your PayPal account history automatically and give you the big picture on income/expense, subtotaled by category. For on-line vendors, an eBay fee and consignment calculator is included. To incorporate account history from other banks, use the Import Manually command under the SmartLedger Menu.

This application’s apparent simplicity can be deceiving. Behind the scenes, a kind of artificial intuition helps you enter your transactions more quickly than you would believe possible.

SmartLedger is flexible and won’t lock you into account reconciliations. Enter only the transactions that are meaningful to you or your accountant. Reconcile when you want to, using the checkboxes and Accounts button.
