This version is tailored to the UK market, so there’s full support for UK VAT | both accrual and cash-based schemes are here | and payroll, the latter available as an annual subscription. It’s also easy to amend reports to add custom fields and layouts. You can even build your own Pivot Table-based reports or run Access-based reports inside Accounting, tweak them and return them to the list of reports inside the program. Reports can be quickly exported to workbooks, with column headings and formulas intact. A Resource Center area (similar to, but more useful than, QuickBooks Pro’s version) houses a list of topics, including training, user forums and RSS news feeds.Īccounting’s list of predefined reports – 20 in Express, 40 in Professional – isn’t overwhelming, but Office integration multiplies its value.
Most areas are arranged in a flowchart format, tracking the path of money through the business, but there’s also a simpler text-only view. The dashboard links to other areas of your business | customers, suppliers and so on. The homepage “dashboard” gives an overview of your balance, displays reminders and shows a cashflow chart | vital to any small business – and we especially like the way you can customise this to add or remove visible content. The main interface borrows heavily from Outlook 2007. Another nod to newcomers is the optional Quick Start window, which gives one-click access to common tasks, such as invoicing, without having to navigate the program’s main interface. Its three-step startup wizard is an ideal way to guide entry-level users through setting up company details and a set of accounts based on business type. But there isn’t a huge functional difference between the two versions Express is only missing higher-end features, such as stock control, support for BAC payments, and multi-user and multicurrency support.Īfter a painfully slow installation process, Accounting’s target market becomes clear. Accounting Express is free and best suited to the self-employed and very small businesses, while Professional is aimed at businesses of up to 25 people.
