General Ledger Module — Sage BusinessWorks

The Sage BusinessWorks General Ledger module is the heart of our business accounting solution and is our most powerful module. Combining flexibility with ease of use, General Ledger gives you the critical information you need to make timely and informed business decisions.

The General Ledger module maintains current financial information, as well as transaction history and budget information for up to nine fiscal years. This module also allows a virtually unlimited number of accounts in the chart of accounts, each with up to 999 departments. The General Ledger module not only organizes all of your financial information from our other Sage BusinessWorks modules, it can also combine information from multiple companies into a single consolidation company for financial reports.

Accurate financial statements and associated reports generated by a general ledger system are critical for timely decision making. Therefore, it is imperative that a general ledger system be powerful, flexible, and informative to management, yet still be easy to use and operate.
