Entering information about your company

You can personalize your MYOB AccountEdge company file by entering descriptive information about your company, such as its name, identification numbers and business calendar. The company information you enter can be printed on many reports and forms.

Note: Some accounting information entered using the New Company File Assistant CAN'T be changed

Where to enter information about your company

Use the Company Information window to make entries that describe your company. You can make changes to the information in this window at any time.

Use the General Payroll Information window to enter basic information about your company's payroll administration. You can make changes to most of the payroll information you entered in the past, as well.

Use the Business Calendar window to specify which days make up your company's work week, as well as the days of the year on which holidays and important business events occur. The business calendar includes three years: the current calendar year, the previous calendar year and the next calendar year.

The business calendar affects the To Do list, which reminds you to perform your tasks on business days. The work week that you set up in the Business Calendar is the basis for To Do List reminders. If a reminder would fall on a non-business day, the To Do List will remind you to perform the task on the business day before the task is actually due. For example, if a reminder is scheduled to appear on Saturday but your business is closed on Saturdays, the reminder will appear in your To Do List on Friday.

You can enter information about your company's bank and your company's bank account in the Banking view of the Edit Accounts window, for every one of your Banking or Credit Card accounts. You can also enter information necessary to make electronic payments.
