Virgo Accounts is a comprehensive, easy to use, single-user, character-based accounting
system. Although designed specifically for small firms of UK solicitors, it is also
suitable for other professionals. Previously known as Kestrel Accounts, the package has
been renamed to avoid confusion with the software marketed and supported by Laserform Law.
The software comprises client and office accounting, time recording, as well as
comprehensive reporting and enquiries, and the ability to export details to speadsheets
and word processing packages. It operates under MS-DOS, Windows 3.1 and Windows 9x, and is
fully year 2000 compliant.
The system is supplied under a "Gentle-person's
Agreement" to small firms of solicitors that undertake a significant
element of Legal Aid and/or pro bono work, for the bargain price of only £199 plus VAT. It even comes with a
money-back guarantee.

What Customers Say...
"I started using this accounting package at the end of 1993 when our practice
was set up. I was a complete beginner at bookkeeping of any kind and this package made
everything very easy for me - it led me by the hand very effectively. The system has been
running smoothly since then but if I have needed help or advice, both have been quickly
forthcoming and, just as importantly, that help has been sympathetic to a
non-expert!" Catherine Mackintosh
"I have been using the accounting package for some years now and have found it
to be very user friendly, particularly since I had no previous experience of
computer-based packages of this kind. Graham helped me set it all up and has always been
very ready to offer his expertise whenever I have had any problems. Various modifications
have been made to the package over the past few years and I have found it invaluable for
running a growing practice." Stephanie Griffiths
"I acquired my solicitors accounting software from Graham early in 1994 after
starting my own practice in 1993. I was pleasantly surprised that, despite my
inexperience, the software package supplied, together with the associated explanatory
material was straightforward and uncomplicated to introduce and to put into operation on a
day-to-day basis. Whenever I have had any questions concerning the operation of the
software I have always found Graham available, quick to respond, helpful, supportive and
effective. I am very content with Virgo Accounts which suits me and my business well, and
I intend to continue to use the system indefinitely." R J Boyce
"We originally adopted the package in 1994. It is a very simple to use package
and has been completely trouble free throughout the period. The quality of the package,
the support and the value for money are, to the best of our knowledge, second to none. We
have made numerous recommendations to local colleagues in regard to the system."
Michael Leighton Jones
"I use the accounts system as a Sole Practitioner since 1994. Even
though not particularly computer literate neither I nor my Chartered Accountants have
experienced difficulty with the software. I have always found Graham Irwin polite and
willing to answer questions. I would commend the system to others in my position."
Roy Kamath
"My first contact with Graham was when he launched the system some years ago. I
used the system in a couple of solicitors where I was bookkeeper and can confirm that any
problems or otherwise that arose with the system were immediately attended to by Graham
and his [then-time] associate. From my contacts with them I can say that he was very well
versed in the requirements of an accounting system and will be well qualified to give any
back-up service required for any system he is associated with." Gordon
