MS Accounting – a different choice!
Welcome back to all who seek the right software!
I purposely started my series with “familiar territory”, speaking of QuickBooks and Peachtree. The market is saturated with users of these products. So, for the next few series, I will focus on the not so familiar products. Those products, that for whatever reasons, many companies don’t consider.
Welcome to the Microsoft Accounting zone! Ms Accounting Professional, also a small business accounting solution, helps to organize your data for financial reporting purposes. The twist here is that this program automatically integrates itself with the other line of Microsoft products (i.e. MS Office, Business Contact Manager, Outlook). This makes information sharing much smoother. It has the same functionality such as tracking expenses, managing employees, invoicing, and includes at least 70 customizable reports. MS Accounting Professional is great for on-line marketing, allowing you to sell your products or services on eBay. There is also an integrated PayPal option. My guess is that most users enjoy being able to create quotes, sales orders and customer invoices directly from MS Outlook using the Business Contact Manager. All this is done without having to transfer the information from one application to another. MS Office Accounting Express is a lower version of MS Accounting Professional. It will have the basics of any first tier accounting software.
Actually two versions are offered in each class of products; the lower versions consist of Express and Standard, and the higher versions consist of Professional and Professional Plus. The major differences that exist between the versions involve reporting capabilities and advanced accounting features.
Our next feature will take a look at FreshBooks software.
Here’s to your success!
