History
CYMA Systems' earliest software, introduced in 1980,[4][5] was DOS-based;[6] as of 2021 most packages require either "Windows 7 or higher",[7] Unix or Linux. Current offerings are for general accounting (payroll, accounts payable accounts receivable, General Ledger, Inventory Control),[8] or more focused packages which specialize by industry, such as Medical Practice Management or Construction Job Cost Accounting.[9] Their CYMA HR package debuted in 2009.[10] They've also repackaged some programs for non-profits.[11][12][13]
Via various software modules, the company "provides third-party integrations, such as: time-tracking software, backup services, direct deposit services" and "can also import common financial file types, print checks, manage electronic payments, and prepare bank deposits."[14]
Controversy
The private company's president was charged by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as having "ordered a subordinate to lie to auditors about whether CYMA had actually placed a large order" with another company "said to have falsified its books from 1993 to 1997."[15]
