The Company Data Auditor found in the Accounts command center lets you keep your important financial information in top condition. Use it to learn important information on your company file like size and location, troubleshoot problem areas such as imbalances in your receivables, and review changes made to the company file (and learn who made the changes).

Backing up your information is a crucial - but often over-looked - part of managing your business. Premier Accounting makes it easy by allowing you to backup not only your company file but also your related forms, letters, images, spreadsheets and custom reports.

Premier Accounting makes budgeting more intuitive by allowing budget planning for next year while still in the current year. Budgets can be entered from a single window that displays all balance sheet accounts together on a single window and all profit and loss accounts on another.

Shortcuts allow for the current year budget to be copied into next years budget so that only minor alterations have to be made, rather than spending time starting on a fresh budget screen. Other Shortcuts include automatic calculations of monthly figures based on quarterly numbers or a monthly percentage increase, and the ability to import and export budgets.

Over 200 financial and management reports give you both summarized and detailed information on the state of your business. You can customize your reports to sort and filter information so you get the answers you are looking for, and save your most-viewed reports as favorites in the report menu. Reports can be sent directly to an Excel spreadsheet, or emailed as a PDF with one click.

Use cards to track information on your customers, employees, vendors, and personal contacts. Cards hold a tremendous amount of information, including a billing address and five ship-to addresses, each with three phone numbers, an email address, web address, and fax number. You can attach a picture to each card, and sync your entire card file with Outlook.
