Creating a company file

MYOB AccountEdge's New Company File Assistant simplifies the process of creating the company file you'll use to track your company's transactions and other important business records. All the accounting information that's entered in MYOB AccountEdge for a single company is stored in one company file.

The New Company File Assistant consists of a number of windows in which you can enter information about your company. The information you enter when you create your company file will determine the manner in which your financial records are stored and maintained in AccountEdge, so it's important that you enter this information correctly.

Note: Who is responsible for creating your company's company file?

Since your company's company file will be the most vital source of information about your company's finances, it's important that the proper person create and set up your company file. Many larger companies assign this duty to an accounting manager or system administrator, since the information entered in this procedure may be confidential and the process requires familiarity with your company's accounting procedures and network.
