Introduction > Where to start
When you start your AccountEdge software, a welcome window displays the following options:
|
Open your company file
|
|
|
Create a new company file for your business. See Create a company file.
|
|
|
Explore a sample company
|
Experiment with a sample company’s data and learn how to use your software.
|
Before you create a new company file, we recommend that you experiment with a sample company’s data. We have provided a sample company file, called Widgets & Co. This file contains sample data for you to experiment with. You can add, change, and remove data, as well as view and print reports.

Start your AccountEdge software and, in the welcome window that appears, click Explore the sample company. A command centre window appears.
|
A command centre window always appears when a company file is open. Notice that the name of the sample company, Widgets & Co., appears at the top of the window.
Now that the Widgets & Co. company file is open, you can browse through the software, explore the transactions that have already been entered, and enter some transactions yourself.
