We have been using CSA trial balance software for probably 20 years and it has been a good program. We don't do audits, don't need workpapers, don't do writeup on it, but it does have a good financial statement design module that takes an investment of time to set up. We have a few of those that go like clockwork. Works well for grouping a large chart of accounts too.
Just got a letter that TR is stopping support in a about a year or so. We actually lease the software, didnt' buy it (bad move). Not sure what will happen.
As most know TR wants CSA users to migrate to their new product accounting CS or workpapers CS or whatever it is called. I have reviewed it twice and hate it. I just won't use it. Plus, for our firm and the number of users it is more than 7 grand plus 2 grand a year for support and updates. We pay about a grand for CSA annually.
Looking for similar products to replace it but really have not found anything close. I would appreciate any suggestions.
