The Progident/Finance accounting charter is designed to meet the most demanding accounting contexts. A codification of up to 15 alphanumeric characters is possible.

In terms of budgets, the software allows the management of three levels of budgeting: current budget, revised budget and next budget. Several support functions for budget preparation are also present.

In addition, Progident/Finance includes a state-of-the-art planning tool in the form of a fully integrated MS-Excel® spreadsheet designed to simulate forecast cash flows directly from your budgets.

Are you ready to start entering your accounting transactions? The toolbar gives you a quick and direct access to the usual accounting journals.

Whether it's the buying, selling or any other accounting journal, the software offers you the advantage of making multiple transactions in a single entry.

In addition, the system allows you to validate all the accounting entries associated with your entry before confirming their definitive postponement to the general ledger.

Finally, Progident/Finance comes with an automatic entry feature that breaks down a total amount into a percentage as well as an automatic reverse entry function. Little "Extras" that make a big difference!

Perform an outstanding items bank reconciliation from only one screen. Nothing more, but more importantly, nothing less; everything you need is there!

Simplicity meets efficiency. Select the bank account, enter the date of your bank statement, indicate the balance of your statement and as you reconcile items, the difference between Progident/Finance’s general ledger and the balance of your statement changes in real-time until you reach zero when everything balances.

Instantly enter and transfer additional accounting transactions during the bank fee reconciliation procedure, for example. Yes, you read correctly! You can make general journal entries without interrupting the reconciliation process.

Reliable accounting software is one that earns your trust. Progident/Finance clearly lives up to such an acknowledgement.

Errors during entry, even the odd ones, are unfortunately a fact of life, resulting in a lost of time at the end of a period when correcting the situation to ensure reliable accounting information.

Progident/Finance offers a series of analysis to control and verify the use. Simply select the approach suited to a situation.

For example, if the information you’re are looking for pertains to only one account, simply consult that account’s transaction history.

No need to print a report; all the transactions for a particular account are displayed!

Where a large number of transactions are involved, use the Progident/Smigg "Filter" feature to filter accounting transactions according to criteria.

If your analysis involves more than one account, the transaction analysis reports in the general ledger are a better bet.

Define different criteria for very specific analyses. The summary reports also offer an interactive drill down feature to analyze the details of a particular result.

Similar to the transaction history for an account, accounts receivable and accounts payable subsidiary ledgers come with features to consult the history of transactions on the basis of contact. This is an additional approach to an information search and accounting audit trail. No more guessing games with your accounting system.

Progident/Finance comes with an income statement generator to create different display formats for all your analysis and communication needs.

Variance expressed as an amount or as a percentage, current period or total-to-date results, compared to the budget and/or previous year. You control the financial reporting.

However, if you are looking for even more flexibility, the software comes with a standard MS-Excel ^TM spreadsheet to seamlessly integrate with Progident/Finance. You can then wrap up your financial statements with additional analysis.

Supplier records allow you to instantly access the address, telephone number or general information of a contact.

Specific supplier parameters can be defined to streamline entries to account books: the default general ledger account, tax codes, currency, etc.

Progident/Finance's "Accounts payable" module have the features that make it an accounting software worthy of its name: account date analysis, batch printing of supplier cheques according to specific criteria, etc.

Progident has also improved the role of subsidiary ledgers, making them a major focal point of information enabling you to immediately respond to recurrent or frequent matters.

For example, when a supplier calls about the payment of a bill, the initial reflex is usually to tell him that you will call him later, after you've checked on it. With Progident/Finance, one click of the mouse displays the supplier's transaction history or his bills in progress so you can respond right away. No more delays or lost time!

Payroll is undoubtedly one of the most critical activities for a majority of companies. Considering that different sectors of activity have their requirements and their specificities, sometimes very complex, it is not surprising that so many software manufacturers tend to abandon this aspect of payroll.

However, a comprehensive management solution that wants to be efficient cannot escape the presence of a fully integrated payroll module with other management components of the company.

Where money can be transferred between different companies due to the corporate structure (i.e. a parent company, consortium), Progident/Finance’s inter-company module is perfect for conducting seamless exchanges.

The module also offers much more; in its presence, most of Progident/Finance’s key functions transform to introduce the consolidation principle.

For example, an analysis of consolidated accounts receivable, an analysis of consolidated general ledger transactions, a consolidated global profit and loss statement or statement by department where management is profit centre-based, a consolidated balance sheet, obviously, and even automatically itemize the employee salaries in each company.

The inter-company module is another high-end feature that puts Progident/Finance in an accounting software category by itself.

A little known fact, the transactional architecture of an accounting software program is one of the basic elements to actually increase accounting productivity.

For example, is recreating the age of accounts receivable or performing a bank reconciliation at a prior date important to you?

Obviously, periodic follow-up accounting activities require going back to the situation that existed at an earlier date to revalidate a control point.

The transactional openness of a software program eliminates the need to close an account period before a new one can be opened.

With Progident/Finance, a financial manager has secured access to maximize the benefits this architecture offers for a complete control over entries and accounting integrity. The best of both worlds!

The time when a manager analyzed a clinic's performance solely on the basis of monthly financial statements has been revolutionized. While not negating the importance of financial statements as the first means of monitoring operations, today's manager should have access to second generation management tools, such as management trend charts.

Progident is particularly proud of its leadership in this field. The inclusion of a financial trend chart with Progident/Finance enables you to track clinic behaviour on the basis of customizable performance indicators. It also comes with a simulation tool and the ability to track a cashflow forecast. Combined with your management expertise, these state-of-the-art tools can help you design your own Decision Support System (DSS), the key to growth!

In addition to storing a detailed history of each financial year, Progident/Finance can export an accounting data in DBase ^TM format to use as an add-on software, such as MS-Access ^TM for customized reports.

In itself, Progident/Finance is an exceptional accounting software! However, combined with Progident/Clinique software, the Progident solution will literally put your clinic in sixth gear by providing you with a global management system (MIS, ERP) unlike anything on the market.
