Take Advantage of Your Data
Helps You Make Informed Decisions
No matter the size of the business, managers are faced with the same challenge: making smart decisions to sustain and grow their business. Knowing how to make those decisions and what the variables are require time and skill.

Unfortunately, many small business failures are blamed on a lack of working capital. Financial professionals, however, say it isn’t the lack of capital but a lack of information. If small business owners had access to the right information they could make more sound financial decisions.

The Microsoft® Small Business Financial Manager links the most popular business accounting programs to Microsoft Excel for Windows 95 so not only can you get access to the financial information you need, but you have a way to see the impact of your decisions before you actually execute them.

Take Advantage of Your Data
More than 86% of small businesses use accounting software. But if you can’t use the data to better understand the business, all you have is an electronic shoe box of receipts.

The Microsoft® Small Business Financial Manager takes advantage of the data stored in a financial system so you can view your business from a variety of perspectives and manipulate variables to see the potential effects on the bottom line. For example, easy to use Wizards, or software guides, can help you see how increasing the production of a particular product line would affect revenue, or help you understand the impact of leasing equipment versus paying cash. What-if Analysis Modules like product mix, finance analysis, expense and tax analysis help you ask the right questions toward making better decisions.
