Reviews for Easy PC Accounts
Emma Pattullo
Just completed my second year end using EasyPC Accounts. So much simpler for my two small councils (precepts £7k and £25k) compared to the previous spreadsheet-based system! EasyPC is a great value, easy to use package for small councils with fairly straightforward accounts, for whom the bigger providers’ packages are overkill.
Benefits for me are: straightforward reflection of transactions into budget monitoring, earmarked reserves, VAT126 reclaims and bank reconciliation; quick and simple year end/AGAR figures; easy to export clean data into Excel if you want to do anything more complicated; robust system which is easy for councillors to understand and will be simpler to hand over to a new clerk if I leave compared to my previous spreadsheet.
Problems: the main issues I have are that there is no dedicated way to identify s137 payments and no ‘text’ field to add notes such as powers of spend to transactions. I have got round the former by having a nominal reserve for s137 payments, and for the latter I use the invoice number field.

I use EasyPCAccounts for two of my Councils and we are very satisfied with the service we get. They offer digested accounts and greater financial transparency for both myself and my councilors who now have access to the finances at their finger tips.
I would very much recommend to any small council, who wants to break away from using spreadsheets to make use of this service.

I have just started using EasyPC accounts. I managed to import all transaction for this year.
It has simplified things and save me time having to track down broken formulas or missing data.
It is really good for the smaller Councils, saves a lot of effort and gives a good selection of reports.
When I present this vs the alternatives for less than £100 a year, it was easy choice.
The developer has provided great guidance and documentation for the system.
Plus it allow Councillors read only access and they can see the transactions.

I have been using Easy PC since April 2019, having persuaded my Council that Excel was too clunky and slow, and recognising that the major accounting software brands were way too expensive and complex for our needs. It is brilliant for our straightforward accounts, handles the VAT reclaims perfectly, does my monthly reporting including the payment schedule and reconciliations, provides a year-to-date budget report in a couple of clicks, and even does the year end calculations. The support is good, it is robust and accessible, and excellent value for money. I was able to trial it for free alongside my manual system to prove its value to my Council before we paid for anything. Cannot recommend highly enough.

This will be our second year using Easy PC Accounts. I have to say when we tested the software I input the 20-21 accounts and checked the results to our already confirmed and audited data, the result was not a problem, the data was perfect and so easy to run off the various reports.
All in all the best thing we have done. I can’t recommend it enough and all backed up with a fast reliable support service

I’ve been using EasyPC at two councils for 5 years. It offers everything a small council needs and takes away all the effort involved with wrangling spreadsheets to produce the information – and documentation – you need. Interim and annual accounts, reconciliations etc are available with a couple of clicks. It’s based in the cloud, so you can use it on any PC at home or in the office. And it’s considerably cheaper than the alternatives.
