We have found the INTERAC financial statement design capabilities to be the most flexible we have seen. We use the financial statement design system extensively to prepare customized financial statements for a wide variety of clients. In addition to traditional financial statements, the financial statement design system allows us to include many customized supplementary schedules as part of the financial statement package we provide to our clients.
The INTERAC system also includes Interlink, which allows data to be exported and imported out of and into the INTERAC system. We use the InterLink application to import data from other applications and to import data such as journal entries and budget information into the INTERAC software. The extensive custom reporting supported by INTERAC coupled with the Interlink program allows virtually any data in the system to be exported into an Excel or other format.
Our firm also uses INTERAC for our in-house firm accounting. We utilize General Ledger, Payroll, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Depreciation, and Time and Billing for our firm accounting. The INTERAC Time and Billing system is a very sophisticated but easy to use professional firm billing system. The system allows us to track and report on a tremendous amount of information both by client and by employee. The Time and Billing system also interfaces with Accounts Receivable.
In summary, our firm has found the INTERAC system to be very powerful, yet easy to use and administer. In addition, Intersoft Systems provides excellent customer support and software updates.”
