Cash Receipting that simplifies your department’s workflow getting you home sooner every day

Cash Receipting is a centralized receipting system designed to record receipt transactions for other Black Mountain applications; Utility Billing, Accounting, Business Licensing, Accounts Receivable, SAMSID, Sales Tax, and Permitting. It provides solid internal cash control for the busy office while making proper entries in the originating applications.

As payments are recorded in Cash Receipting, most databases in other Black Mountain Software applications are updated in real time. Cash Receipting allows users to query and retrieve payment-related information from those applications as if accessing them directly.
