If you have existing financial information, an import wizard allows you to transfer your existing financial data from QuickBooks or Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and Excel 2002. With this software, you can manage your accounts efficiently by creating customized quotes, invoices, and purchase orders; manage inventory; track payroll and time sheets; forecast cash flow; and much more. Online banking tools can also help you manage multiple bank accounts and stay on top of customer billing and payments.

When it's time to pay your employees, you can process your payroll online seamlessly and efficiently with Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP). Microsoft has partnered with ADP, the leading provider of payroll solutions to small businesses for more than 50 years, to provide a wide range of integrated payroll services to meet your business needs. For an additional fee, ADP gives you the tools to manage employee data, calculate payroll, print checks, run payroll reports, and file your payroll taxes. ADP also offers payroll services that handle all the facets of the payroll process. When you're in business, you know how valuable your time is. ADP will take care of your payroll so you can spend your time building your business.

Every business owner knows how important it is to stay ahead of the curve in today's economy. With more than 60 easily customizable lists and reports, you can forecast and track cash flow, inventory, and sales. The cash flow management tool allows you to plan for multiple scenarios, view numbers for a designated time period, and change data to conduct your own "what if" scenarios.

No matter how much previous accounting experience you have, Small Business Accounting 2006 is easy to use. Whether you want to track transactions with vendors and customers, record banking activity, coordinate payroll, or create and track quotes, purchase orders, and statements, you don't need a technical consultant to help you. The Small Business Accounting 2006 startup wizard helps you to set up the program to suit your company's needs.

Best of all, Small Business Accounting 2006 shares information with other leading Microsoft Office programs, such as Microsoft Office Word 2003, Excel 2003, Access 2003, and Outlook 2003. This not only saves you in training costs, but it also greatly reduces the time your company takes transferring and updating data. In fact, employees with Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager Update can perform account maintenance functions -- such as creating quotes, orders and invoices -- without ever leaving Outlook. Outlook updates information in Small Business Accounting 2006 in real time, making data re-entry unnecessary while saving time and reducing errors. These documents can then be customized in Word to sharpen their professional appearance. Using Outlook with Business Contact Manager Update also provides employees with complete and up-to-date account information on any client, enabling better, more informed customer service. This same mechanism allows the company owner or manager to get a one-stop overview of customer account information.

In short, Small Business Accounting 2006 is a solution that fits the unique needs of every small business. Regardless of whether your business is growing rapidly, or whether is just needs a simpler and more efficient process, this integrated software package provides all of the tools you will need to finish your tasks quickly, keep on top of the big picture, and have more time to spend on what matters most to you.
