Client Bookkeeping Solution 
Overview 
Client Bookkeeping Solution is a unique software program that you 
provide to your clients who want to maintain accurate and 
comprehensive bookkeeping records while relying on you, their 
accountant, for the more complex accounting work. There are five 
modules available for CBS. 
ƒ
CBS CheckWriter is the core module of CBS. Your clients use it to
 
streamline tasks such as data entry for vendor checks and
 
noncalculating payroll checks, check printing, and report
 
preparation. If you enable the direct deposit feature through
 
Intercept, your clients can direct deposit vendor checks. Starting with
 
CBS version 2006.3.1, your clients can import CheckWriter
 
transactions from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
Disclaimer: InterceptEFT is an unaffiliated third party that some of 
our customers have engaged to provide direct deposit, tax payments, 
ACH processing, or credit card merchant services.
ƒ
The optional CBS PayCheck module adds full-featured calculating
payroll to CBS CheckWriter. With CBS PayCheck, your clients can
handle multiple departments, federal tax withholdings, any number
of state and local tax withholdings, as well as special deduction
calculations for both salaried and hourly employees, and it offers a
number of specialized payroll reports. If you enable the direct
deposit feature through Intercept, your clients can direct deposit
payroll checks. Starting with CBS version 2006.3.1, your clients can
import employee time data from an Excel spreadsheet.

CBS, you can upload open payables information for your client to 
remotely approve for payment via their NetClient CS portals. 
ƒ
The optional CBS Accounts Receivable module allows the client to
define finance charge assessment conditions, create recurring and
memorized receivable transactions, design invoices and statements
with the robust layout editor, format large blocks of text to use as
descriptions on invoices and statements, and customize data-entry
messages that are displayed to notify them of a customer’s account
status. Starting with Client Bookkeeping Solution version 2006.2.0,
your client can import finance charge, payment term, sales tax,
customer, and invoice item data from a spreadsheet.
ƒ
The optional CBS Financial Statements module is also available. If
you choose to license your client for CBS Financial Statements, your
client can generate interim financial statements using any of the
predefined financial statement forms for balance sheet, income
statement, cash flow (direct and indirect), and trial balance.
