Just in Time for Taxes: Halfpricesoft.com Releases ezPaycheck 2010
There are myriad accounting solutions out there for businesses of all sizes, but sometimes the simplest business models just need a straightforward payroll solution—enter Halfpricesoft.com.
Founded in 2003, Halfpricesoft provides user-friendly 1099, W2, and payroll packages for accountants at small- and medium-sized organizations, and their ezPaycheck payroll solution offers a hassle-free program for small business accounting. ezPaycheck caters to small business owners—people with an entrepreneurial spirit who are completely capable but can still use an extra hand when it comes to accounting.
In addition, fledgling businesses sometimes can’t afford to staff an accounts payable department, nor can they support the IT costs sometimes necessary to maintain a multifaceted financial management solution. In cases like these, programs like ezPaycheck are a good choice, as they allow users to print payroll checks, create and maintain payrolls for multiple companies, and automatically calculate withheld taxes. And like the majority of software solutions that are most attractive for small businesses, Halfpricesoft’s products can be easily installed without difficult software configurations.
Halfpricesoft.com recently released the latest version of their main small business accounting solution, ezPaycheck 2010. At the beginning of each year taxes loom, and the current season is surely why ezPaycheck is getting press right now—but rather than just parrot press releases, we at CompareAccounting.com are going to take the opportunity to look at simple accounting and finance solutions for small businesses, and later look at when exactly growing businesses should consider a more complex platform. So be sure to check in next month!

1 commentAccountMate Integrates with RedTail, Scores A Major Manufacturer
If the first months in a year are any indication of the success to be had in 2010, then AccountMate has set the pace for an auspicious year. In January, they scored big in the business software market by integrating with RedTail Solutions (and EDI and GDS provider), and just this week, they scored an account with logo-products manufacturer Kolder, Inc.
RedTail caters to mid-market suppliers and manufacturers, and their integration is taking AccountMate beyond just simple accounting processes. RedTail offers managed service solutions for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Global Data Synchronization (GDS), and they’ve recently enhanced their UI to integrate with the latest version of AccountMate (v 7.6). Both companies target the mid-sized enterprises, and the new integration will allow companies processing large volumes of EDI transactions to cut costs, improve efficiency, and quicken the “order-to-crash” cycle. The new interface was designed by a third party, Figtree Consulting.
Kolder, Inc. implemented AccountMate through one of the company’s Elite Solution partners, and integrated AccountMate’s Manufacturing and CRM modules during deployment. Kolder is responsible for producing licensed and novelty products for some pretty big names—NFL, NBA, NHL, Anheuser-Busch, Coors, and over 130 colleges to name a few—and sought an accounting and finance solution that was integrative with manufacturing processes. Kolder’s solution also needed to meet the scalability they required for national product distribution.
Kolder had recently acquired another company, and each was using a different ERP solution. The AccountMate remedy chosen was AccountMate SQL with Manufacturing Conductor, as well as the AccountMate CRM module. The open architecture AccountMate offers was allegedly a large factor in Kolder’s decision, and the new implementation has allowed them to cut administration staff by 35%.
We don’t like to sound too much like press-release trumpets over here, but when the news is impressive it’s good to take note. A lot of the accounting software news we see is Intuit-related (which is not a bad thing), and it’s interesting to see companies that have grown their accounting products into more complete packages that include ERP and CRM functionalities.
