Learning a new interface can be time-consuming and frustrating, but with Microsoft Office Accounting Professional 2008, chances are it won't be. Assuming you've already used the software goliath's Office application, you'll feel right at home—this small-biz accounting package shares the same look and feel. Not surprisingly, it also integrates with Office better than the three rivals we look at here. There's room for improvement—for example, businesses with heavy-duty inventory or time-billing needs will need to look elsewhere—but otherwise, this package is a worthy contender for your accounting dollars.
