Setup

Creating a company file

Your company file is used to store all the details about your business -- customer lists, items, invoices and the like. (If you keep books for more than one business, you may have two or more company files.) MYOB Premier Accounting's New Company File Assistant makes creating your company file easy.

Setting up your company

After you've created your company file, use the Easy Setup Assistant to add general information about your company, your customers, items and the like.

Personalizing your company file

Creating and using user IDs

If other people will be working with MYOB Premier Accounting -- or will have access to your computer -- consider setting up User IDs to protect sensitive company information. You can create User IDs that exclude parts of MYOB Premier Accounting from some people, while allowing yourself access to all parts of the system.
