Arithmo is an online accounting software system designed for accountants and small to medium sized businesses. History Arithmo came from the TWD group of companies, but is a wholly self contained, independent entity. The group is headed up by Bernard Oster, and provides accountancy services for individuals and small businesses. It was formed in 1996 and has expended into other areas aside from accountancy. Arithmo Accounting Solutions Ltd was created to provide a stand alone company to create, develop, market and support online accounting designed for small businesses. Development The original guise of Arithmo was called Entrax. This was a very simple PC based, proprietary piece of software written in VB.net, using access tables. It was developed in-house and was limited in scope and functionality. However, it showed the need for a bookkeeping system designed to be used by the complete novice. Recognising the move away from stand alone software to web based models, a team of developers from Kbase Connect of Bristol, UK, were brought in to create the first version of the system called TWD Online. This came online in 1997. In early 1998 a new version of the software was launched that had been developed to incorporate more accountancy functionality. Alongside this, an accountants' version of Arithmo is also available, with more technical features and a control panel for all clients. Accreditations Arithmo is accredited by the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers and the Business Application Software Developers Association. Partners Arithmo is an official partner of Accounting Web
