Spreadsheet Software

Preparing spreadsheets is a common task in the accounting field. A good grasp of spreadsheet software, such as Lotus1-2-3 or Microsoft Excel, is desirable. Familiarity with the more advanced formulas contained within the software can help make spreadsheet preparation easier. For example, there are formulas to calculate the monthly payment on a loan if you know the principal, interest rate and loan term. Spreadsheet formulas allow accounting staff members to produce “what-if” scenarios to see the effect of a given change, such as how much would the payment increase if the interest rate is1 percent higher or the loan term is one year less.

Word-Processing Software

An important part of an accounting job is typically to provide management with accurate, timely information to use in making decisions. Information might be conveyed through reports generated by a software package, or it might be necessary to condense, consolidate or organize the information into a report. Most accounting jobs also require the preparation of letters and memos to vendors, customers, managers or co-workers.

Accounting Software

A company might use an off-the-shelf accounting software package to record its financial transactions. Programs such as Quickbooks, Peachtree and AccountAbility allow clerical personnel to prepare invoices for customers, enter invoices received from vendors and print checks. Depending on the package purchased, a payroll, fixed asset or inventory module may be included. At month-end, financial statements can be printed quickly. Knowing your way around one or more of the common accounting software programs can be advantageous.

Payroll Software

Companies may use an outside payroll preparation service to print paychecks and prepare payroll tax returns. Two well-known payroll-processing companies are ADP and Paychex. Each uses a proprietary software to enable clients to enter the data needed to prepare the payroll. Alternatively, a company might use the payroll module attached to its accounting software to prepare paychecks. Either way, knowing the fundamentals of computerized payroll systems can be beneficial.

Other Software

As responsibilities increase in the accounting world, additional software skills might be needed. There are software programs to manage projects, conduct audits, track depreciation on fixed assets and prepare tax returns. In addition, a number of software programs exist that are specific to a particular industry, such as American HealthTech Financial.

Basic Computer Skills

In addition to software packages that are geared toward the accounting field, jobs typically require proficiency in basic computer operations. Managing email accounts, saving and printing files and performing data backups are common tasks. Because of the typical high amount of data entry required, proficiency with the10-key number pad on a computer keyboard is desirable.
