Installation of the software ran without any problems. My Windows machine is now a little older, yet the program was installed fairly quickly. On newer computers it is safe even faster. During installation it is possible to store data anonymously by Lexware online. This field is pre-set, which I think is not so good. After all, these are sensitive data, because I do not want it to be stored somewhere on the internet. Positive I found that the program has caught up the latest update during installation, so that the software is equal to (legally) to date. The installation was carried out also equal to a data backup, which I found a little irritating, since I have not entered any data yet at this time that would be secure.
Following the installation, you can then immediately create a new company and set up the accounts of the company in the software. This has taken me quite a while, it is recommended that you schedule this operation for some time.
I have already worked with various accounting programs, including Intuit,. Also, I have accounting knowledge. Nevertheless, I had to work purely Once in the program, and it took some time until I came to the menus handle. On the one hand it is indeed common in new and extensive programs so that you look at once to get used to it. Yet I do not feel the menu navigation as intuitive. My friend was sitting next to me without getting to know about using such software, or the topic and found the software confusing, even if it is computer-savvy. In many places I would find a brief explanation on the part of software helpful. There are of course a user manual in PDF format, because you have to but once raussuchen the relevant passage. The interface of the software, I no longer feel quite as timely. Because there is simply more transparent and therefore easier-to-use options available today.
After having so now familiar with the software and entered all data, you can start using it. Convenient way, I find that you can create multiple fiscal years, even retroactively. Thus, one can not only from the program now, but just also be used retrospectively, if you like. The software also offers the basic version already many ways. A detailed list is mentioned in the article description here on Amazon, so I will not list the individual functions at this point again all.
Accounting and all related activities are now safe in any activities that make a lot of fun, but what has that has well known. A good software facilitates an as yet few. Although the options and features of Lexware accountant in 2015 are varied and helpful, I do not like to work with this program, because I think it's just not clear and use friendly enough. Out of date, I also think that you can use the program on only one terminal.
