10 of 12 people found the following review helpful: Okay accounting software, but research your options first 3/19/2008 It's clear that with this product Microsoft is trying to make a more serious dent into the accounting market, but I really think they are kind of missing the mark. First, as many Microsoft products these days, it's bloated and slow. Really slow. Even on my pretty new computer. The install is quite daunting and you have to wonder what the heck takes it so much time. Now, I can deal with that if the product itself is worth it, but I'm rather underwhelmed with this one. It's got way too much for the average sole proprietor or small home business like me (Accounting Express is probably a better choice) but it doesn't have what a larger business needs like Quickbooks and Peachtree offer. Some of the features that this shines on, like the PayPal integration, require additional monthly fees, so again, you have to be at a certain level of sales to benefit from them. As others have mentioned, it does seem rather buggy as well, to some degree you might expect that versus very well-used and long-established products but it's annoying nonetheless. One thing to also keep in mind is that a product like Quickbooks is so ubiquitous now that there are HUGE numbers of 3rd party products and APIs that tap into it. It's very easy these days for instance to purchase ecommerce software that will automatically download your web orders and dump them into Quickbooks. Here you are tied to a much more limited amount of options, so something to be aware of. Having said all that, this *does* do the basics well enough and as usual with Microsoft software, it integrates well with the rest of their products. For me however, it's overkill for my needs and still needs some work to be ready for heavy use. Thank You. Was this review helpful?

I have to agree with everyone who said this is great for those who do a lot of Ebay auctions and need it done in an organized way instead of a random hobby. For small home businesses this might be more than one can use and I think it's sort of a bucket full of programs that might not all get used. My favorite feature - that I can make my own checks with this; sure I don't use them as much anymore but still, what a cool option - it comes with a small fee but that's not terrible and hey if I want to put my cat on the picture using the litter box I can.... Thank You. Was this review helpful?
9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: For the small (but not TOO small) home business 3/19/2008 In using Office Accounting Pro 2008, I have found that my itty-bitty home business is too small to justify using such a program. While the program appears to be a wonderful asset for those with a small business - my business is just too small. I don't really have a need for many of the features. I do sell my daughters' outgrown clothes on eBay now and then, and there is quite a bit of helpful information for eBay and PayPal users. However, again, I don't do enough to make it worthwhile for me. Office Accounting Express is available from Microsoft as a free download. It has a lot of similar features and appears to be more what I would need. I would recommend this for those who are avid eBay sellers, or have a home based business that is more than just you! There are a lot of great features to this that would be better utilized in a business with 3 to 25 employees. From the use I have gotten out of it - it is very easy to use! - 1smileycat :-) Thank You. Was this review helpful?
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: A solid option for small home-based businesses that already use Office products extensively 3/18/2008 I struggled with a review title a bit, because I wanted to make sure I conveyed who I think is the appropriate audience for this product. If you're dealing with in-house payroll for a number of employees, a significant and/or diverse physical inventory, or a large or complex business structure, then this review (and perhaps the product itself) isn't appropriate for your needs. This is absolutely not to say that Office Accounting Professional can't handle these tasks, it can indeed, but such capabilities weighed against those of older products such as Quickbooks Pro 2008 W/Payroll 2008 and Peachtree Complete Accounting 2008 would have to be the domain of a much more in-depth analysis, well outside the scope of my exposure and experience. That caveat aside, this is a brilliant package and solution for those who run smaller home-based businesses, those more in need of accounting or more interested in data, than tasks such as payroll. Brilliant, in as much as the integration between Accounting Pro and other Office titles such as Excel, Word, and Outlook make this a quick and intuitive solution for those already familiar and entrenched in the Office family. While we don't sell items on eBay, or process payments through PayPal, the attention to detail in these areas is impressive, and it's easy to see how this might be the perfect accounting solution for home-based auctioneers. For our purposes -- which are largely account tracking, data processing and availability/presentation, as well as various tax processes -- we definitely think (after almost a month of use) that we've found a comfortable and satisfying solution with this product, and would certainly recommend it to others with similarly 'basic' accounting needs. As others have pointed out, Office Accounting Express is available as a free download and reduced (from pro) functionality trial from the official website. Thank You. Was this review helpful?

We received a complimentary copy of this Microsoft Office package, so we thought we'd give it a try. What a waste of time! It takes forever to install, forever to do any work, and crashes all the time. As you can guess, we're sticking with QuickBooks. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
