Explanation / Answer

Excel system is the most cost effcetive incase of any budget constraints. Also it is convinient for small businesses or individual. However it lacks control and getting historic data shall be difficult until unless you maintain the system in such a way as to get the whole historic data.

You may Prepare a Balance Sheet, Capital And Profit and Loss Account whereby you can give double entry impact in each ledger. You can assign a chart of accounts i.e. general Ledger No. to each account you want to maintain and while passing the entry in a separate sheet, you just need to assign the specific GL no. to it.
