Depending on the accounting system (accounting system: The accounting program.) you are using, you must use it to integrate your financial data with Business Contact Manager for Outlook, or you can use Business Contact Manager for Outlook to connect to your accounting system. The version of your accounting system determines the connection method to use to access its financial data.
