Change is a good as MACC joins the Harris family of companies
On October 1, 2022, MACC announced our acquisition by Harris (harriscomputer.com). I was first introduced to Harris in 2018 and have watched them acquire other businesses over the years. What struck me from day one was their core philosophy matched that of MACC’s – a focus on customers, people, and products.

The Aged Trial Balance report is a year-end helper
One of our most commonly used Customer Master reports is the Aged Trial Balance report. It can be found in the Reports Suite under Receivables. This report is commonly used to review the Aging on accounts – which customers have balances in the under 30, 30-59 days, 60-89 days, and 90 and over days buckets. It’s not uncommon for companies to need this report as of the first day of the month, before any transactions occur. You can either run it first thing on the first business day of the month, or you can auto-generate the report.
