Selecting Accounting Software

Many accounting software packages are on the market today. Selecting the right one for your
company can be a daunting task. You must consider many factors, such as software, hardware, accounting
issues, and internal needs that might be specific to your company.

When reviewing software features, you need to review at a long list of criteria. Among them are
these:

 Reporting
 Security
 Ease of use
 Customizability
 Operating system

When looking at reporting, you must review these two reporting features:

Standard reports:

Standard reports are reports that come with the software when you purchase it. You will want to
check these reports against your current reports.

Custom reports:

Customized reporting means you can create your own custom reports. If you need information
that is not contained in the standard reports, you will need to write your own customized reports.
