THE COMPANY: ACTON CLEANING Emma Dione recently quit her public service job to start a cleaning company, Acton Cleaning, in a Canberra suburb after discovering the lack of good cleaners in that affluent suburb and market demand far outweighs the supply of quality cleaning. While she is getting her business going, she is not going to draw a salary from the business. She has employed three full-time helpers. Emma is starting her business on 1st July 2020. Given her lack of experience with accounting software, she has employed you to prepare the accounts for her first month of operations using MYOB. You need to set up MYOB AccountRight Plus v20 in accordance with her business needs.
