Three programs, one way of working

Software for UK accountants, businesses, group finance teams and construction firms

Three programs that run on your own office computer, keep to UK rules, and say so when something does not add up rather than guess. Pick the one that is yours.

Murgese Consolidate Pilot

Group accounts, from each company’s trial balance

A separate product. It takes a trial balance from every company in a group and produces the consolidated accounts under FRS 102. It keeps no ledger of its own, so a firm that does not use Murgese can still use it.

  1. Each company’s trial balanceFrom whatever system it keeps its books in, read and shown to you before it is kept.
  2. Mapped once to the group chartEvery account to a line of the group’s own chart, with how that was decided.
  3. Between companies, taken outWhat the companies owe and sold each other, and the investment against what it bought, as journals that add to nil.
  4. The consolidated accountsUnder FRS 102, from the front cover to the cash flow statement, with every figure traced to the company account behind it.
The Trial balances screen: a file is read first and shown before it is kept, with one line for each company and date.

Murgese Construction In testing

One program instead of three

The project system, the commercial package and the accounts are one program sharing the same jobs, on the firm’s own office PC. Here is one job’s month, as it goes through it.

01 · On site, first thing

The diary goes in on the phone, a tap at a time

Nobody photographs a page of a day book and emails it to the office to be typed up on Friday.

The site diary on the phone for Kestrel Yard: seven on site, the weather entered at 08:40 with who wrote it, a button each for a photograph, labour, plant, deliveries, visitors and delays, and everything sent.

02 · It reaches the office

On the job, against the money, and nobody typed it again

The diary and the money are one record. There is no join between a project system and a commercial one, because there is one system.

A job's own screen: its figures, value against cost against the plan, and what is waiting on somebody.

03 · The subcontractor applies

It lands on the order he signed, and is checked against it

The order, the claim and the assessment are the same record. Nobody types it again from a spreadsheet of subcontract accounts.

Brennan Roofing's application checked against its order: payment stopped on new bank details, insurance run out, the revision noted, and the clock from the day it was received to the final date for payment.

04 · The notice goes out

Inside the Act's dates, counted from his application

The bill follows from the same assessed figures, with CIS on the labour and the reverse charge accounted. It is not typed into an accounts package afterwards. This is the accounts package.

The deadlines screen across every job: payment notices owed to subcontractors, a customer's final date for payment, retention to claim and an insurance certificate run out, each with whose move it is or that the date has passed.

05 · The month end

The reconciliation is already written

Nobody rebuilt the CVR in Excel. There was nothing to reconcile, because there is one set of books.

Kestrel Yard's cost value reconciliation for September: the forecast margin, the margin to date, the final value and no foreseeable loss, ready to sign off.

06 · The money arrives

And the week reads off one screen

Nothing on it was assembled for the purpose. It is the same records the month was run on.

The portfolio: five jobs, the money across them, the cash position for six weeks and the next fourteen days of Construction Act dates.

Also in it: Murgese Connect, where your subcontractors send their applications onto your order from their phone, and several companies in one program, grouped or not, with the other side of an invoice between them drafted for you.

The next UK dates

Counted from today’s date on your own device. These are the dates that are the same for everybody; a company’s accounts, CT600 and corporation tax dates depend on its year end, and the free tool works those out.

Straight answer

Where each one stands today

On sale Murgese

It prepares the VAT return, the CT600, the Self Assessment return and the accounts. It does not file any of them yet: it is not yet HMRC recognised, and until it is you file through whatever you file through now.

Pilot Murgese Consolidate

Not on general sale. It is offered to firms that prepare group accounts through the pilot, before it is sold to anybody.

In testing Murgese Construction

In final testing, and not on sale yet; no price or date is set. Its phone app is in private testing on Android and is in neither store.
