Microsoft Office Accounting 2008 (Professional and Express)

In recent weeks, Microsoft launched Microsoft Office Accounting 2008 in the UK (United Kingdom).

The publicity says the following:

Microsoft® Office Accounting Professional is an easy to use, comprehensive accounting package that works with other Office applications you already know.

• Easy to learn and use

• Works just like Word, Excel and Outlook
• Get started in minutes with wizards that import your data



• Save time managing everyday tasks

• Share and reuse data across Word, Excel and Outlook
• Manage customers, suppliers, employees and stock
• Pay bills, track expenses, send invoices and bank online
  

• Get a complete view of your business

  • Run customisable reports so you always know how you’re doing
  • See all your important data in one glance with the Digital Dashboard
  • Get reminders of important deadlines, pending bills and overdue invoices

One thing of interest for Microsoft Money users in the UK is that is does NOT support import of a Money file.
