- Easy to signup and simple setup to get things started
- Pricing - Special offer for new start ups
- Invoice reminders
- Invoice templates look very professional
- Invoice shows when customer / vendor have viewed (SUPER HELPFUL)
- Intray for emailing receipts and tracking

- Not being able to invoice in multiple currencies, have to workarond this by invoicing in the charable foreign currency then after payment is recieved adjusting the template to the local amount that is received.

The depth of the accounting softwarealot more features than most

The annual subscription fee is a tad bit high

MYOB allows for client management and invoicing from one system.

Using this system to manage an IT business is not the most innovative system and it has integration challenges from our PSA.

Due to the complexities of our business MYOB XO was the standout choice.

No real downsides to the system. As we were using Viberent as a custom software piece there were some glitches with the API integration but this is to be expected.

Very in-depth, detailed and robust application and accounting platform for seasoned Accounts Officers, Bookkeepers and Accountants.

MYOB Business was challenging to learn and become familiar with for those not used to large digital financial applications. Some training was required.

I do not have cons for MYOB Business.
MYOB Business works so well.

The software is relatively easy to use.

It’s hard to get face to face support. Even when I’ve requested it I’ve received an email!! That’s not the support I appreciate. Every response is an email with a link to a webpage. This doesn't always help.

I have used myob for simple invoicing and it’s flawless. You can tell that it has more capabilities.

There’s nothing negative about myob and the price is affordable

I needed the ability to access accounting transactions online.

What I liked least about MYOB business is that is was very limited therefore went with Xero.

Payroll is ok it has some nice features on pay items but nothing the old essentials could do easily.

The list is far too long. The old essentials is excellent. All that needed to be done is have the option of reports it had be converted to excel rather than PDF. The decision to go to accountright will be fatal.

Online and off line accessMobile scanning of receipts

some search features could be better. Doesn't narrow down search when entering items or descriptions

The ease of using this program. Being able to get into clients accounts and finalising their work.

I have no issues to report with this program.

I stated my career using MYOB which was my favorite software. It couldn't be beat. But that was over a decade as ago. Since then other contenders have surpassed the software in both useability and practicality. MYOB is still good at the core, especially for accountants and people with an accounting background. However for business owners I think it could be a bit confusing and slightly intimidating.

One of my biggest pet peeves for MYOB is the rigid structure and inflexible ways to treat transactions. For example, if a bank transaction doesn't match to the cent, there is no quick way of recognizing the rounding error and processing the transaction. Instead a series of clicks into the transacting to edit the amount is required, disrupting your workflow.

I used MYOB a few years ago. At that time MYOB seems the only one which is capable of doing accounting tasks in Australia

I used MYOB a few years ago. At that time MYOB online version seems poorly designed, not suitable for multitasking

Bank feeds, scan bills, look up and search functions. Also the general ledger allows headings and subheadings (Xero does not)

Could connect to more third-party software.

-Highly customisable for invoicing and parts inventories.
-Has great reports. We found if you knew what you wanted to keep an eye on in the business, then you could design a report for it. Not all accounting programs or workshop software can do that so easily.
-once it was set up for our workshop, it worked amazingly. Very intuitive

-We were new to this software, and it took a long time to set it up, (6 mnths), specifically for how we needed it to work. (automotive workshop), You almost needed to be a trained accountant i felt.
-Support used to take at least 1 day if not 2 to get back to you.

MYOB will polished with lots of mine integrations and options.

There are a number of different portals with different purposes and I would get lost sometimes navigating the various sites.

I liked the layout of the software. It is generally easy to use. The colour palette and general design is quite pleasing to the eye.

It's quite expensive for a small business and of course they hide a lot of information before you purchase. At per month I could not enter more than 5 expenses per month! Ridiculous! Had to upgrade! Cancelling you account is very difficult and they will try and screw you out of every last cent. I will never ever use this company or software again. SO ANGRY at the account closing process. They might have stolen but it has cost them a customer and I will tell everybody I meet to avoid that software and company like the plague!

The systematic features really helps to sort out the accounting issues. I am always leading the task upto the standards and mostly efficiently only using this specialized software.

The complications of finding a specific set of files is really hectic. I have to go through the whole bunch of files and reenters the balance whenever I have to made some ammendments.

It didn't fail on install... that's about it!

I paid for the full version of the software and not even 12 months in they are forcing me to pay for a subscription service as well! Having disabled single touch payroll for offline users they have made the software obsolete.

Support is terrible and slow, you'll quickly get sick of the on hold music. Doesn't matter once you've identified yourself as soon as you're transferred you'll have to do it again.

And the reporting is a waste of time (and paper), you can't even print a list of employees with their birthdays!
