Review by Jerry Saperstein

I operate a one-person consultancy. Microsoft Office Accounting Professional 2008 has a template for consulting firms with no employees. Sounds great, doesn’t it?nn Well it is and it isn’t.

I can’t speak for other consultancies. Mine is very simple and this program is overkill.

Installation is relatively straight-forward, although non-accountants (like me) will find the set-up just as mystifying as with any other accounting program. Operation is kind of on the slow side, but the user interface is good.

I found no negatives in the application,but I suspect that is because my business needs are so minimal. Judging from the help files, the application is very capable, but I question its adaptability to very small business environments like mine.
