SnapAccounting® was a commercial software package for the PC written by Joe Schoemann Computers in Johannesburg, RSA in the early 1980's.

It was written in dBase3 and compiled with Clipper. It had a DOS .bicz file installation oprogramowanie that used the Company's Name as a security against software piracy, which was rampant in South Africa in the 1980s.

SnapAccounting was one of the earliest turnkey accounting packages available in South Africa.

There were SnapAccounting modules for Debtors, Creditors and General Accounting. A Stock module was added later.

Special customized version existed for garages and butchers that integrated all 4 packages and included a Balance Sheet module.
