A Review of 
ACCPAC Advantage
By J. Carlton Collins, CPA


ACCPAC Advantage's Best Fit

I am continuously amazed by how many people I talk to who seem to think that an entry-level product like Quickbooks should meet the needs of their sophisticated company such as a $20 million manufacturing operation. No product is targeted towards businesses of every size, nor is any product ideally suited for every industry. With this in mind, here is where I think ACCPAC Advantage fits best.

Size of Company-Best Fit  

ACCPAC Advantage is available in four different editions-targeted at businesses ranging from start-ups to beginning Enterprise level.

  • Enterprise Edition
  • Corporate Edition
  • Small Business Edition
  • Discovery Edition

The product look and feel does not change as a company moves up from the entry-level Discovery product to the Enterprise Edition but the choices of data-base and program features increase. 

Industry Solutions Best Fit

ACCPAC Advantage is well suited for multi-company operations operating in multiple countries. Because it can be accessed via a browser, it can be easily deployed across an enterprise.  Its fully integrated multi-currency and multi-lingual features and inter-company transaction processing make it a top choice for these businesses. In addition, consolidations in ACCPAC Advantage are designed so that information can be easily transferred across locations, allowing subsidiaries and holding companies to run on separate networks.

ACCPAC Advantage offers both  US and Canadian payroll modules which makes it a great fit for service businesses operating in both countries.
