An accounting software veteran, CYMA has been providing businesses of all sizes with quality accounting software for years. CYMA is a completely modular system that is a good fit for businesses in transition, or those looking to purchase a solid core accounting system now with the capability to add to that system in the future.

From the June 2009 Review of Small Business Accounting Systems: Tier II

EASE OF USE/BASIC FUNCTIONALITY:
CYMA’s main user interface contains a drop-down menu at the top with an active module box where you can choose which module you want to open. A series of system tabs allows you to choose from various system functions including a Getting Started Guide, Module Tutorials, Calculators, Reference material and the CYMA Update Center. You can also click on the New in Version 11 tab to view a list of new features and enhancements.

Moving between modules is easy, and the CYMA data-entry screens are easily navigated with intuitive screens and lookup options located throughout. Three unique keyboard modes allow you to choose the one right for you. The Quick Entry grids allow you to enter data even more quickly by customizing the grid to reproduce frequently used data-entry detail. New features include the ability to pull bank information directly from your banking facility for a more complete bank reconciliation. File Attachment capability has been expanded as well, with the ability to handle an unlimited number of attachments for vendors, employees and customers.

CORE ACCOUNTING/SECURITY FUNCTIONS:
As previously noted, CYMA is modular, which offers extreme flexibility to users purchasing the system for the first time. Core accounting modules include the required System Manager that handles system security and other management functions. The comprehensive GL module includes complete budgeting capability, an always-on detailed audit trail and the custom fields designer, which offers more than 100 custom fields to track the data that your business needs. AP, AR and Payroll modules complete the core accounting set. The AP module allows electronic funds transfer for easy bill payment and the ability to enter unlimited vendors and contacts. The AR module allows you to enter custom fields and email invoices to customers. The Payroll module supports direct deposit and multi-state payroll and handles all tax reporting.

Other modules available include a comprehensive Inventory Control module, Bank Reconciliation (which allows you to download bank files for a more comprehensive reconciliation), an excellent Job Costing module, and both Purchase Order and Sales Order modules. CYMA offers multi-level security functions for modules, entry screens, system functions and full access.
