To get started with AccountEdge, an accounting software, the first step is to purchase and download the software from the official website. Once downloaded, the software needs to be installed on the company’s computer system. After installation, the next step is to set up the company’s accounting preferences, such as currency, tax rates, and financial year. Then, the software should be customized by adding the company’s logo, creating chart of accounts, and setting up customer and vendor profiles. The next step is to enter opening balances for accounts and set up bank accounts for transactions. Finally, the software should be integrated with other systems, such as payroll and inventory, if required. Training sessions can also be scheduled to familiarize employees with the software’s features and functionalities.
