The New Microsoft Accountant

Accounting has often been viewed as a complex and number heavy profession understandable only by those who earned an accounting degree or had spent years running financial matters. However, now Accounting methods are now more understandable to the layman non-accountant. Last October 30, 2006, Microsft launched Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2007 which is especially for businesspeople on start-ups or homebound businesses. It's basically a financial management software designed for early startups and home-based businesses that currently use pen and calculator or spreadsheets to run their operations. Office Accounting Express 2007 consists of desktop software available as a free download and seven integrated online services.

“If you run a newly formed business, are an eBay seller, or still do your books in spreadsheets like Excel or on paper, you should download and use Office Accounting Express 2007,” said Rajat Taneja, general manager of Microsoft Small Business Applications and Services. “The familiar look and feel of the Microsoft Office interface will help small-business owners more easily navigate their everyday financial tasks.”

In the Philippine context, this software which harnesses internet services at the same time as the software program itself will help our local entrepreneurs in their business endeavors from selling balut to selling homemade shirts...! So check it out. :-)
