• Microsoft Office Accounting Professional 2008

At $200, the 2008 release of Microsoft Office Accounting Professional is $50 more than last year's version, but the update offers improved Web integration, simpler setup, and features that can enhance accountant-client communications for small businesses.

Since debuting three years ago, Office Accounting has always had great integration with Word, Excel, and other Microsoft Office apps, letting you use forms and reports created in Office. Integration is even better in this version: The program can now import almost any kind of Excel data, including accounts, transactions (such as invoices and vendor bills), and listings (like inventory products and customers).

Many small businesses do not employ a professional accountant, instead relying on a public accounting firm to help them prepare year-end financial statements and tax returns. Office Accounting introduces innovative features to improve communications between an external accountant and a client.

It does so by blurring the line between traditional packaged accounting software that runs on a Windows PC and software that is Web-based; both are integrated in the Office Accounting menu, which can be customized to let an accounting firm offer enhanced services to its clients. For example, an accounting firm can now integrate portions of its Web site into the Office Accounting menu, so an accountant could offer reminders of tax payment due dates, an online newsletter, and links to accounting services for specialized areas such as payroll processing. These accountant add-ons exist in an XML file. Modifying this file requires some technical expertise, but Microsoft says it will soon offer a free downloadable utility to simplify creating and modifying the XML file.

An accountant also can develop one or more customized Business Templates for a specialized company configuration and can create a standard chart of accounts suitable for clients in specific industries. The accountant can then export the custom template and send it to a client to help the client get started more quickly. Serial generator online. The app also enables a business to send a copy of its electronic books to its accountant, who can make financial adjustments and correct entries. This transfer capability is available in most other small-business accounting apps (including QuickBooks) as well.

Also new this year is Spanish-language support. You can mix languages, too--you can, for instance, view Spanish accounting menus while preparing customer invoices in English.

A free (but ad-supported) version, Office Accounting Express 2008, is aimed at new and home-based businesses. Express can track income and expenses, but it doesn't manage inventory, so it isn't suitable for businesses that sell products. The Professional version adds inventory management, job tracking, sales and purchase orders, and fixed assets. It's aimed at small businesses with up to 25 employees.

Office Accounting offers an interesting alternative to Intuit's QuickBooks. The multicurrency support in Microsoft's app makes it a good fit for import/export businesses. And the tight integration with Word and Excel should encourage businesses that currently track financial records in those apps to graduate to a real accounting system.

Despite the $50 hike for the Professional edition, Office Accounting remains reasonably priced for what it delivers. And a 60-day free trial allows businesses to give it a whirl without financial risk.
