I have experience of MYOB top of the range software in Europe. Apart from the criticism of their support as mentioned by other reviewers, I think it is necessary for prospective users to be aware of my concerns about some other aspects of how some of MYOB software works. Although I have not used this particular version, I sharing my experience with another of MYOB programmes for those who may be interested to know.
I have used the top-of-the-range version of MYOB for many years. It has several undeniable strengths.
BUT if you do not belong to MYOB's own network of accountants, you should be very careful for two reasons before buying it. First that the upgrade costs and policies of MYOB are worse than almost any other company or developer in my experience. Second that completely on a random basis MYOB will seek to verify your registration with its website. Apart from being an intrusive, annoying invasion of privacy, I don't know what data about you it sends to MYOB or what the software would do if you did not have the internet connection just at time the MYOB wanted to check your licence. Would you loose all your data? Would you be able to continue your work if you can not establish contact with MYOB over a weekend or holiday? How would their less than the best support system cope with your difficulty?
New users should purchase at their own risk because more expereinced ones would know about the above situation.
There are many accounting products available for small businesses and non-MYOB network affiliated accountants.
