Once you have decided which MacNail Accounting worksheets
to use, you will want to start with new, clean copies of each of them.
NOTE-- Goldenseal construction
accounting software is the successor to MacNail, which we
retired in 2000. Goldenseal is an integrated business management program that includes general accounting,
job costing, payroll
and project billing, plus construction cost estimating,
contract writing and simple scheduling. It does not require
Excel.
When to make new Accounting
worksheets:
*
When you first start out with the MacNail construction accounting software, make a new Master Index, Checkbook
Ledger, and any Logbooks that you want to use.
*
When you open a new bank account, make a new Checkbook Ledger for it.
*
When an existing Ledger or Logbook gets too big, start another one. Accounting worksheets will start to become
awkward at between 300 and 1500 entries, depending on your computer speed and available memory.New files
*
You may want to make new records at the start of each year, half-year or quarter, depending on the size of
the worksheet. However, there is no necessity for doing so (beyond memory considerations). If you have a fairly inactive
accounting worksheet, there is no reason not to let it run for several years.
*
You may want to make multiple Ledgers Ledgers, multipleor Logbooks if you manage more than one business
entity, if you run more than one crew, or if you do more than one type of project.
