Welcome to the Peachtree Setup Guide, designed to walk you through the process of setting up your company within Peachtree. This Guide will assist you so that you can easily enter all of your business information.

What do you need to do first? We recommend that you start with General Ledger, setting up your chart of accounts, General Ledger defaults, and beginning balances. After that, the order is up to you. Just click to that page of the Setup Guide, and start setting up your company. However, if you want to be guided through setting up your company, simply follow the order in which Setup Guide pages are laid out. Click the image at the right-hand bottom of the page, and Peachtree will take you to the next group of tasks to complete. But please note that the Setup Guide just outlines the tasks most often performed in setting up a business; you may not need to complete every setup task before you start working with Peachtree.

If you want additional information about the tasks available on a page, click More Info at the right-hand top of the page. You'll see a drop-down menu of Help topics that should answer your questions.

From the Information Page, you can review the Preparation Checklist. It will help you gather information typically needed to set up a business. Or you can choose to follow a brief tutorial that will let you practice working with Peachtree using sample data. If you haven't already registered Peachtree, there is also a link that will take you to the Registration window. To perform any of the tasks available from the Information Page, just click the appropriate image on the left.
