There are many types of accounting software applications on the market today. Some applications are intended to perform accounting functions for large corporate organizations. Others are meant for personal use. Still other applications fall somewhere in between, performing functions suited to small businesses, as well as those suited to the average person. Available software ranges from the very simple to the very complex, with much variation in price as well.

Stock promotions, such as Buy One Get One Free, can be set up in the Lakeview accounting system and can be processed either as free shipped product or as a customer account credit.
