Attaché system: Attaché Accounts and Attaché Payroll

“Attaché suits us as we aren't huge. It's horses for courses. If you are a small to medium business, it's got the general ledger, the payroll, the interface. It's further up the scale than off-the-shelf systems.

We've looked at the alternatives but from an economical point of view, you just don't need to pay for the big ERP systems unless you will really use all those bells and whistles.”

Attaché System:  Attaché Accounts

“Attaché makes my life easier. With our number of reporting entities, it's simple to set up new accounts and add multiple accounts at once. The ability to dump reports into Excel is very handy and it formats them really well, unlike other systems I've used. The auditors really like it because of the audit trails on transactions.

Thanks to its flexibility, Attaché is definitely the ideal package for businesses like ours.”

Attaché System: Attaché Accounts and Attaché Payroll

“We like Attaché because it offers an integrated solution which is very economical. The system modules all have the same look and feel and can be successfully operated with only limited training.

The system will generate standard reports but you also have the option to develop your own reports to meet the particular needs of your organisation.

Support is only a phone call away and the support staff always respond in a timely and helpful manner.”

Attaché system: Attaché Accounts and Attaché Payroll

“The best thing about Attaché is that it's got a lot of security. Once it's done, it's done, which is good because you can trust what's in there compared to smaller systems where you can change things. There is definitely no comparison if you are running a business with more than a few staff.

Sending our invoices and statements electronically works well. A lot of customer have changed over, which I was quite surprised about, and it saves a lot of time too.”

Attaché system: Attaché Accounts

“We have been using Attaché now for over 11 years– it is a very user friendly system that has been developed over time with numerous enhancements made to it, many aspects of which have been taken directly from the end users feedback to encompass our needs and wants.

We find having good control over our source documents is imperative to getting the best out of our Attaché system. Attaché allows us to have our end of month accounts ready for our accountant with no hassle; they are then able to quickly and easily query anything whilst it is still fresh in our minds. End-of-year processing is also stress free when it comes to finalising our financial year.”
