Summary: Great Product
Comment: Microsoft Business Accounting 2006 is a viable software for small businesses. It is very simple to use and most of all it looks like Microsoft Office 2003. If you already are using that program than this product will look very familiar to you. It also works with Microsoft Office. It integrates very well. I highly recommend Microsoft Business Accounting 2006 to small businesses. You don't need a more expensive and complicated program to do the job.

Summary: Great accounting software
Comment: Really like this product I have since upgraded to 2007 because this will not work with windows vista! Microsoft did the upgrade with no extra charge.

Summary: Clunky Software
Comment: I had high hopes for Microsoft's SBA program, however, it does not stack up to QuickBooks.

Cons:
- Unable to open file using a file server. For some strange reason, it requires you to have Microsoft's SQL (database) server installed in order to have it served through a file server. This serves as a limitation because it forces you to purchase another Microsoft license. In a small business environment, a user should be able to open their books through any file server.

- Clunky. Another irritating aspect is that it opens a different program window on the task bar for each task that you open. If you multi-task, you will see many icons on your task bar, instead of managing your windows within the program under the menu bar. Navigation is also clunky where it feels like Outlook.

- Reports are limited. It may be that I have not figured it out yet (see above "clunky"), but I'm unable to find a way to easily customize my reports. It forces you to print detailed reconciliation reports (with many pages), instead of a summary.

- CTRL-F (Find). How hard is it to implement CTRL-F and be able to pull up a search box? Transactions are hard to find with SBA. As your book grows, an easily accessible search box is needed to find a check, invoice, and other transactions.

Pros: A QuickBooks alternative.

If you're a small business owner, it's best that you stick with QuickBooks. It's almost a standard for micro/small businesses.

Summary: It's not what it seems
Comment: I was told it was the same as Quick books! but for a fration of the price!
Theres no such thing as a good deal!
The only way to get this work right is to buy the rest of the software and then im sure it would be fine but then your paying more than Quick Books..
Its only a module!

Summary: Easy to use home office accounting package.
Comment: I used QuickBooks and Quicken in the past and decided to try Microsoft Small Business Accounting and found it much easier to use. The flow is very intuitive with customization of invoicing and purchase orders being very easy with standard Microsoft Office products. I do recommend that the user read the manual first, it does help significantly. The most beneficial aspect of the software was the ability to do journal entries to correct items entered in the graphical interface. If all else fails simply do an accounting entry in the journal to correct things. Hats off to Microsoft on this one, it works well, is easy to use, and integrates with Microsoft Office.
