Office Accounting 2008

Microsoft have released a small business accounting package which has been tailored for the UK.

There are two version Express (which is free) and Professional which has features such as Stock, Sales Orders and Job Costing and costs £150.

My colleague, Richard, is not particularly keen on a payroll service rather than software but at £9.95 per month for up to 25 employees this is a good deal. You can also sign up to e-payment services.

We run our business using CRM for projects, staffing, expenses and invoicing and Sage for accounts. I will be looking at integrating CRM with OA2008 (using the SDK) and am particularly interested in the job costing aspect to allow us better insight into project profitability

You can download Express or a 60 day trial of Professional

For those with an MSDN Subscription the Professional can be downloaded from there.
