Space-Time Associates announced on Monday a major upgrade to TinyBooks. Version 5.0.0 adds the ability to print estimates as well as invoices.

In addition, invoices now include 10 description lines and 1 total line with auto-calculated and auto-formatted amount fields on each line. Transactions in all Monthly Windows are now easily sorted by Date, Comment, Check#, Account#, Amount or Type (expense or income). A new Bottom Line Report has been added ("exactly the report that your accountant would want").

The allowable Comment width for each transaction has been increased by approximately 50%. Finally, an Auto-Comment popup menu has been added to the Enter Expense/Income Dialog to allow easy entry of comments that are identical to comments previously entered.

TinyBooks is an ultra simple accounting and bookkeeping program designed for home and small businesses. It is perfect for a sole proprietorship. Space-Time associate describes it as "a flexible, non-bloated, single-entry bookkeeping program."

TinyBooks 5 runs in any version of Mac OS X. It is priced at US$49.00 for a single user license.
