Win-HaBu

For those who manage their own business, being able to hire a professional accountant or other professionals to handle aspects of your business might not always be possible. Win-HaBu is an application that allows users to manage their own database of accounts, clients and transactions.

Win-HaBu features a very complicated start that requires complex configuration that is not easy to use for beginners. The application asks several questions and presents several options before it provides users with the main window and access to the features, for users who are not familiar with personal account, some options will be confusing.

A big issue is in the application's option and language support, the interface has not been translated properly and several areas have German as the language. Various text fields and options are listed in German, given the importance of some of those options, not being able to properly recognize them could cause serious issues and potential account errors.

Despite the awkward design approach that is difficult to configure, Win-HaBu does provide a lot of features and options to properly manage accounts. There are other business applications that operate more like sophisticated notebooks, Win-HaBu is not one of them, it is a serious accounting tool.

Win-HaBu includes tax key areas, sales tax calculations, invoice generation, balance sheets for both creditors and debtors. There are separate areas for personal accounts, multiple client accounts, a list of wealth in the form of assets and property. The program even includes an area to list which items have a warranty for insurance and refund purposes.

Win-HaBu is clearly more advanced than many other accounting applications and its array of features will satisfy users who want a professional level of detail. Though, the biggest problem is the attention to detail, the lack of proper translations and the awkward design means key details could be missed. Given the serious subject of Win-HaBu, details being overlooked could lead to accounting irregularities which is not acceptable.
