thankyou for accepting me in this community first of all. Basically , i purchased sage last year but have not yet commenced to use it for the reason of being busy . Anyways, if i do set up sage for my book keeping i would like to know , if it is possible to commence my accounts from 2005 , or is this too far back ? can i re construct the business accounts in sage , so far back ? any help with this ?

Just a brief answer. Yes you can go back as far as you want. Different matter if it is worth it or not. Don't know about your business but 5 yrs financial records is a fair bit of paper work.
