Accounting Professional 2008 provides a complete set of accounting tools that can help organisations carry out everyday financial tasks:
- Create quotes, invoices, and purchase orders

- Monitor and forecast cash flow
- View, modify, and print more than 70 reports

Accounting Professional simplifies routine work because users can share and reuse common data across different forms rather than retyping information. It does not require technical training to install or accounting training to use. When organisations have existing financial information, the Startup Wizard helps them import it from QuickBooks, Microsoft Money, or Excel. The new Resource Center provides access to how-to articles, demos, and tips.
Integration with other Microsoft Office programmes provides features such as export to Excel and Word. The optional Analysis Tools can generate Excel PivotTable views and Microsoft Access database reports. Outlook with Business Contact Manager shares a single database with Accounting Professional, so information related to customers, vendors, prospects, and employees can be shared in real time between the two programmes.
