AccountEdge Overview
We want your business to succeed, which is why we offer help using AccountEdge every step of the way. Get help from within the software, learn the basics of accounting with MYOB's Accounting 101 Guide, and use AccountEdge's assistants to help you create your company file, set up preferences, and enter opening balances.
The Help menu gives you the choice of going to our website for product help or searching the help files included in AccountEdge. Most windows in AccountEdge also include the Help button, which displays frequently asked questions and instructions related to whatever section of the software you are in when you click the button.
Your User Guide and Getting Started Guide are included on your disk, also accessible from the Help menu within AccountEdge. Of course, you can always seek help from the support section of this website.
Not an accountant?
We include a copy of the MYOB Accounting 101 guide to give those without an accounting background a crash-course in the basics. Read the Accounting 101 Guide.

Protect your company file with the Company Data Auditor
The Company Data Auditor found in the Accounts command center lets you keep your important financial information in top condition. Use it to learn important information on your company file like size and location, troubleshoot problem areas such as imbalances in your receivables, and review changes made to the company file (and learn who made the changes). |

Keep your information safe with AccountEdge back up, including back up to .Mac1
Backing up your information is a crucial - but often over-looked - part of managing your business. AccountEdge makes it easy and gives you options: you can back up your company file to disk or to .Mac with AccountEdge 2008. |

Create budgets for this year and next year
AccountEdge makes budgeting more intuitive by allowing budget planning for next year while still in the current year. Budgets can be entered from a single window that displays all balance sheet accounts together on a single window and all profit and loss accounts on another. Shortcuts allow for the current year budget to be copied into next years budget so that only minor alterations have to be made, rather than spending time starting on a fresh budget screen. Other Shortcuts include automatic calculations of monthly figures based on quarterly numbers or a monthly percentage increase, and the ability to import and export budgets. |
