 Great product BUT : no longer supported AVOID July 21, 2010
RB (UK - Hants)
I've used this for the last 2 years.
Superb product easy to use very logical better than both sage and quickbooks ( i would give it five stars ). Unfortunately Microsoft pulled the plug on this last year; so payroll functions no longer work and there is no upgrade path.
Avoid unfortunately.

Why does it not have an asset manager? The US version does! Do they think UK busineses do not have assets?
DO NOT BUY THIS. Microsoft are not going to support it. They have already cancelled the payroll function.
 Excellent for the small business August 19, 2009

Does exactly what it says on the tin, perfect for a small business.
Also if your used to using Microsoft Office there are allot of familiar icons and the layout is perfect.
My wife is ACMA trained and says this is a great bit of software.
 UK upgrade concerns May 28, 2009

Very briefly, I bought this product last year and eventually found an accountant to guide me through my particular needs. And did I need it!
It was not that intuitive for a non-accountant who was misdirected by another accountant knowing less than me!
This version requires an SP download which took ages - as did installing it. So I was less than impressed when my laptop died and I had to go through the whole thing all over again.
There is a 2009 upgrade but it seems to be just some reports and none of the benefits given to US users, so is Microsoft going to dump it? Where would that leave me?
As an non-accountant, I also do not know whether I should close previous years. There is no guide per se to provide directions... although there is a forum which I can and will post the same query.
It does not prompt if you make a wrong entry meaning you have to void it, keeping the entry on the system for posterity (for audit purposes)... although batch journal entries made it easier to avoid silly mistakes.
I am still horribly nervous with it, hence not closing previous books. Pity, really, as it was Microsoft's name which made me buy it in the first place.
Also, when I re-installed it, it chose the wrong backup file and more than 100 journal entries had disappeared.
I eventually found another which I hope has them but, in all honesty, it has not freed the stress levels when dealing with one's accounts through software.
I am currently at the stage of wondering whether to plough on or start afresh with a different package (based on Microsoft's apparent lack of enthusiasm for the UK market).
Avoid it like the Plague!!! May 22, 2009

Have just wasted around a week of my life migrating my accounts to Microsoft Office accounting. Only after starting to use it in earnest did I discover a major fundamental and apparently unsolvable flaw. MOA often will not let you use the corrct sequential number you require for an invoice. Consequently my invoices now are incorrectly ordered with numbers missing. Googled this issue and lots of people complaining but no answer from Microsoft to solve the problem.
The product also does the typical microsoft thing of changing things around with no reason until you start to doubt your own sanity.
I cant understand why this product gets the best reviews of all accounting packages. I can only think that its the best of a terrible bunch, non of which seem to work properly. It is not intuitive [as it is heralded] I am used to working with accounts packages but found this clunky and confusing. I suspect many people start using it, like it and then discover its major flaws down the line when they are too deeply enmeshed to escape.
My accounts are now in dissaray and I am behind with my invoicing thanks to this product. I am ging to try some online solutions such as Kash Flow or Xero which actually appear to work.
I have given this one star - only because the system wont let me give zero stars.
