After you start a new fiscal or payroll year, we recommend that you optimize and verify your company file. Optimizing your company file reduces your company file's size and makes your company file more efficient. The Verify Company File utility ensures that your company file is in "healthy" working condition.
The amount of time needed to optimize and verify a company file for use with AccountEdge depends upon the size of the file and the capabilities of the computer you're using. If you have a very large company file and a slower computer with little memory, be prepared for optimization and verification to take some time.
