Mango's Accounting Pack

Mango's Accounting Pack is a simple accounting system based on Excel spreadsheets with a comprehensive user guide.

Based on extensive field experience, the system has been specifically designed for small to medium sized NGO offices. We have tried to make it as practical as possible. It is flexible and straightforward and free.

This is what one user said in a recent survey:

'I have now moved over to Quickbooks as our organisation has grown in complexity but the Excel spreadsheets served us very well for 2 years. We'd have been lost without it! Thanks very much. The user guide and tips are still very useful.'

Key features:

• Free
• Excel based
• Follow step by step instructions in the comprehensive User Guide
• Create your own accounts list and codes
• Enter your budget
• Enter cash and bank transactions in ready-to-use cashbooks
• Add more cash or bank accounts as needed
• Track different currencies
• Use registers to record information about floats, loans, assets and commitments
• Use standard format documents in processing transactions (eg Payment Vouchers)
• Detect and correct errors with the data integrity checks in every sheet
• Create monthly summary reports comparing actual against budget

Be aware that:

• Mango's Accounting Pack is not a full double entry accounting package
• To get the most out of the Pack, users need to be quite proficient in Excel
