This study was carried out to design and implement a software system that will automate the processes involved in account management, particularly in Fine Brothers Abakaliki. Manual accounting systems are characterized by human errors, including mutilation, omission, duplication, miscalculation, etc, as well as wastage of time and energy, data loss, and so on. Moreover, extra cost is incurred in running manual accounting systems because of the need to buy big registers and writing materials from time to time. To solve all these problems, the researcher has developed and tested a computerized account management system for the case study company, Fine Brothers Abakaliki. This system will eliminate all errors associated with the existing manual system like mutilation, duplication, etc; it will further automate most processes like report generation and mathematical calculations. Observational technique was used to make findings about the existing system. Based on the information gathered from the exercise, the new system was analysed.
The methodology adopted in this study is the object oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. The proposed system could only run on Windows PCs, with just a minimal configuration or higher. Proper documentation of this project was also kept. The researcher concluded that implementing this account management system will increase the organizational performance and productivity of Fine Brothers Abakaliki and like companies. He therefore encouraged the implementation of the software in Fine Brothers and like companies. Finally, he recommended regular maintenance of the system to ensure efficiency.
