The Certified Public Accountant Software Solution

CPAs know that reliable reports depend on accurate data. Navigator is an integrated accounting and portfolio tracking software system with true double-entry accounting that ensures data integrity.

To handle clients with varying needs, you must be prepared to account for many different situations and legal entities. Navigator has the power to account for multiple entities and to manage multiple tasks within those entities. Navigator's Chart of Accounts is flexible and allows for changes to fund balances or asset allocations, unlike other more rigid accounting programs.

Taxes planning and reporting are handled easily with Navigator. It can account for tax lots at cost or fair market value basis to determine up-to-the minute gains or losses. Navigator enables you to easily keep the two sets of books needed to value your clients' investments at cost-basis and at fair market value.

CPAs need to communicate their clients' financial positions clearly. Navigator's consolidated reporting allows you to produce branded, customized reports and financial statements that are personalized to your clients' needs. Navigator's reporting functionality reformats reports for use in other computer applications, such as tax-planning, or portfolio management software. Use Impressions to add meaningful charts and graphs to your cash-flow and tax-planning reports.

Clients with large, diverse portfolios take time and require special attention. With Navigator and its StockWeb, BankLink and BrokerLink add-on modules, you can automatically download and post securities, plus banking and brokerage transactions, to provide daily pricing of securities and cash-position updates to your clients.

To assist CPAs who need to make disbursements from multiple bank accounts, Navigator automates this time-consuming task. CheckForm makes complex check-runs simple. You can print an entire check-run from multiple accounts onto blank checkstock — fully customized, professionally formatted and MICR-encoded — avoiding the need to handle multiple pre-printed checkstock.
