In addition to the standard features you depend on every day in the Tax module, we've added task-specific efficiencies for improved time savings and additional data retrieval for comprehensive reporting.
- [Cash Receipting](https://blackmountainsoftware.com/document/cash-receipting-product-sheet/) - Centralize collections from multiple locations, or decentralize your many cashiering activities. You decide. All data can be automatically flowed into your General Ledger, as well as other BMS applications to create the feature-rich solution that’s right for your cash receipting needs.
- [Business Licensing](https://blackmountainsoftware.com/document/business-licensing-product-sheet/) - Quickly generate licenses, renewal notices, and delinquency letters. Payment information is automatically updated in your General Ledger records, and all business information and payment history is stored for easy retrieval, updating, and reporting.
- [Budget Preparation](https://blackmountainsoftware.com/document/budget-preparation-product-sheet/) - Eliminate spreadsheets and build a collaborative and dynamic expenditure and revenue budget. Because our Budget Preparation software is integrated with General Ledger, there is no need to export to or import from external data sources.
- [Bank Check Upload](https://blackmountainsoftware.com/document/bank-check-upload-product-sheet/) - Black Mountain Software's Bank Check interface imports check redemption information from a file you get from your bank. It contains the specific information needed to automatically redeem checks written through your BMS payroll and general ledger systems, as well as, checks written by schools and various other agencies cleared through the county bank account.
- [Assessor](https://blackmountainsoftware.com/document/assessor-product-sheet/) - Choose from dozens of reports that let you narrow or expand your results to precisely view tax rolls, recaps, assessment details, top taxpayers, and more.
- [ACH Direct Deposit](https://blackmountainsoftware.com/document/ach-direct-deposit-product-sheet/) - Give your employees the convenience of payroll direct deposit. With ACH Direct Deposit your clerk saves time, your entity saves money, and your employees have a banking option they have come to expect. This module eliminates the processes of printing, stuffing, and mailing checks, and saves money on supplies and postage.
- [ACH Credit](https://blackmountainsoftware.com/document/ach-credit-product-sheet-2/) - ACH Credit is an add-on module for General Ledger that allows you to set up any vendor who wants to receive payment electronically. Bank account information is entered for participating vendors and an ACH (Automated Clearing House) file is created for submittal to the bank.
- [Accounts Receivable](https://blackmountainsoftware.com/document/accounts-receivable-product-sheet/) - Automatically create billing and receipting entries and set up recurring invoices to improve efficiency. Accounts Receivable provides you with an on­going history of transactions to keep customers’ accounts up to date and in order.
- [General Ledger](https://blackmountainsoftware.com/document/general-ledger-product-sheet/) - Our ledger system allows you to set up an accepted governmental account structure that complies with generally accepted fund accounting standards and practices, all based on your personalized Chart of Accounts. You have complete control of the payable process and vendor records, including all the information you need for 1099s.
