For those of you who may have missed it, Microsoft Small Business Accounting was released a short time ago. Even although our US cousins have had their version for over a year, it took a while to get the UK version ready! It would appear that the UK and US have incompatible tax procedures and systems.

However, most people don’t realise that Microsoft have made available a simple cut down version for FREE. Yes, that’s right: zero pounds and zero pence is all you have to fork out! Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2008 will be suitable for many startup small businesses that rely on Excel and / or Word to do invoicing. It must be worth giving it a try when it’s not going to cost you a penny.

For those people who need a more feature rich version, the “Pro” version is competitively priced at £149.95. A 60 day trial is available if you’d like to see what all the buzz is about!

Microsoft looks to have designed a Sage and Quickbooks killer! Providing the Express (free) version will result in a rapid adoption of this new accounting package and result in this becoming the No1 accounting package in the UK. Move over Sage, the days of buying out any decent competition has now gone!
