Accounting Software Support Options

Remember to figure support costs into your accounting software budget. Some accounting software provides fee-based support by email or phone from the moment you start using the software. However, it is common for the cost of small business accounting software to provide support at no cost for a set period of time so you can ask questions when you first start using the software without incurring additional expenses. After that time period, you pay for support annually, quarterly or on a per-use basis.

The accounting software may have a free online user forum where you can ask questions as well. This is often a good option to fee-based support when your question is about how to use a feature.
