Free 'Accounting Software for Dummies' guide launched by leading software developer, Access Accounting
Press Release - Monday, October 09, 2006
Award-winning business and accounting software developer, Access Accounting, has produced a free 'Accounting Software for Dummies' guide in conjunction with publishers, Wiley. The vendor decided to create the guide to help organisations cut through the growing complexity of choosing an accounting system.
'Accounting Software for Dummies' is aimed at businesses that know their accounting needs and what they want from a software package, but require up-to-date information on the essential elements of choosing and implementing a system.
John Beech, MD of Access Accounting, commented, "Selecting a new system can be a very daunting task for businesses. It is a big decision and one that needs to stand the test of time.
"Most organisations change their software on average every seven years. It is usually the FD, in conjunction with the MD, that makes the final decision but with their busy schedules it is impossible for them to keep abreast of the advancements in business and accounting technologies. This guide embraces the ethos of Dummies, taking a light-hearted approach yet is packed with valuable information and advice," he continued.
Some of the sections within the publication include: Ten Accounting Software Pitfalls to Avoid, the Selection Checklist and Ensuring a Return on Investment (ROI). It also provides information on Access Accounting's flagship solution, Access Dimensions.
'Accounting Software for Dummies' is available to anyone considering changing their accounting software in the next 12 months. To obtain a free copy, visit www.access-accounts.com/dguide. Alternatively, visit Access Accounting on stand AF304 at the forthcoming Softworld Accounting and Finance Exhibition to be held at the NEC in Birmingham from 18-19 October 2006.
