To prepare to use the New Company File Assistant

Before you start the New Company File Assistant, it's a good idea to know the following information about your company, because you'll need to enter it while you use the assistant. (If you have an accountant who tracks the details of your company's business, he or she will know the answers to these questions.)

Note:  Some accounting information can't be changed

• What are your company's name, address, phone and fax numbers, and email address? (These entries can be changed in the Company Information window after you create your company file.)

• What is your current fiscal year?

Note:  If you want to use a fiscal year other than the current one

• What month does your fiscal year end?

• How many accounting periods are in your fiscal year?

Note:  Choose 13 periods if you're not sure

• In which month do you want to begin using AccountEdge to record your accounting information?

• Do you wish to use the accounts list provided by MYOB AccountEdge, to import an accounts list, or to build your own accounts list?

Note:  You can change the accounts list
