There's no reason to print a report when all you need is a quick answer from the system. Sage Timberline Office inquiries deliver information on-screen instantly. Our accounting applications come with more than 100 standard inquiries, each of which provides immediate on-screen access to business and accounting information.

Customize how you want your data to appear by modifying the pre-packaged inquiries or creating new ones.
