So,
you’re going to start your own business. Have I got a great tool for you.
Assuming you have a product or service customers are willing to pay for,
your success will probably depend on control of your assets. Money and
material coming in and money and material or services going out. Until
you can afford an accounting department, you will need some help with the
books. Who better than a software company that has been helping businesses
for 25 years. Peachtree has put together a software package, One-Write
Plus, with a street price of $69.95, with an unconditional
60-day money back guarantee, designed to help the new or small
business get a handle on important aspects of doing business, such as:
-
An interactive multimedia tutorial to get you up and running quickly.
-
Write checks - print computer checks, singularly or in batches.
-
Manage billing and invoicing - prepared forms for invoices & quotes,
track each invoice until it’s paid.

This easy-to-learn, easy-to-use software comes with some of the best documentation
you will find anywhere. It has an Installation Guide to install the software
(sometimes tricky), a 536 page User Reference Guide to explain the options,
operation, and functions, and the best of all, a multimedia interactive
tutorial. After asking several questions about your business, it provides
you with a custom printout to walk you, step-by-step through the process
of setting up your books.
Everything is geared to the beginning business person, ready to automate
accounting so they can spend more time running the business, and less time
managing the books. And as your business grows, Peachtree also has more
advanced software in accounting, reporting, credit card service, website
creation and Peachtree 2000.
Unlike most other accounting products, One-Write Plus allows payroll
customers to modify their own tax tables. Customers also have the option
of subscribing to the One-Write Plus Tax Service. The Tax Service guarantees
that customers receive automatic updates of all regulatory changes for
their state and Federal Payroll taxes, 1099 forms, and W-2's during the
subscription period.
One-Write Plus is supported by Peachtree Software with a variety of
options designed to meet the needs of all types of small businesses:
All new customers automatically receive 30 days of free support from
the time of registration. All One-Write Plus customers can choose from
a variety of Support Plans including: Premium Support, Telephone Support,
Pay-per-call Support, and Internet Support. Fax-on-Demand Service provides
small businesses the ability to order technical information to be delivered
via fax.
The real strength of this program is the way it can shake and bake
your entered business data and provide the owner the following timely reports:
-
