Creating a company file


 

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 you enter in MYOB AccountEdge for a single company will be stored in this one company file. This will allow you to work with your company's financial information without spending a lot of time working in your computer's file storage system.

Who is responsible for creating your company file?

Use the New Company File Assistant to create your company file

Use the AccountEdge New Company File Assistant to create your company file. 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 where 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 to 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.
