Editor's Note We've been learning a lot about Microsoft's small business accounting software program, Office Accounting, and have decided that it's time our readers had a place to look for news and information about this topic. As is often the case when new programs hit the market, accounting clients purchase the software and then turn to their accountants for information on how to make it work to their advantage. It is our goal to provide a forum and a source for the exchange of information about this relatively new kid on the accounting software block. We welcome your comments and would like to share your questions and tips with our readers. Best regards, Gail Perry, CPA Managing Editor editor@accountingweb.com Our Favorite Office Accounting Blogs Have you participated in the AccountingWEB blogs lately?
