When you make entries in MYOB AccountEdge, that information is stored within one computer file. This is called your company file. This file allows you to work with your company's financial information without expending a lot of time and effort on your computer's file storage system.
Before you can begin using MYOB AccountEdge, you must create a company file to store your company's business information. All the accounting information -- your company's transactions and other important business records -- that are entered in MYOB AccountEdge for a single company is stored in one company file.
Note: Company file concepts
To create a company file, you'll use the AccountEdge New Company File Assistant to simplify the process. The New Company File Assistant asks you a few important questions about your company and creates your 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 how your financial records are stored and maintained in AccountEdge, so it's important that you enter this information correctly.
After you've created a new company file, you can use the AccountEdge Easy Setup Assistant, which will assist you in entering the beginning financial information for your company.
