This is a fantastic program for the small business. Totally customizable. It takes a little bit of setup time, but once it is set up, it is a breeze to run. The learning curve is minimal.

	What others say of us	"If you need a light-weight application to manage your billing and receipts, try Volutive. It's refreshingly free from any nag screens and advertisement, and although you're encouraged to register, Binarema doesn't even ask for financial contributions." Scott Koegler for SmallBizPipeline "While Volutive isn’t capable of handling all of the things that high-end suites can, it should satisfy someone with basic needs." Brandon Watts for LockerGnome
