The small business manager is faced with increasing competition on a world wide scale in today's marketplace. Business decisions which affect planning and operations are more critical today than in the past. The manager is typically faced with making sense out of large quantities of accounting information. Decision support tools are needed to simplify this endeavor. Electronic spreadsheets have been used extensively in accounting departments for years. Recently, electronic spreadsheets have dramatically increased in capability while decreasing in price. The objective of this thesis is to demonstrate the feasibility of using off-the-shelf spreadsheet software to develop an integrated financial reporting system for a small business.
