MYOB Alternatives

Simple Accounting's Review of MYOB Alternatives

In 2008 Mamut bought MYOB UK. They decided to offer an upgrade for MYOB Mac users but not for PCs. They also told users they would turn off file reconfirmations at the end of 2011. At the last hour (December 7 2011) this threat seems to have been reversed. However it is unlikely that Mamut will provide much (if any) support for MYOB users in the future. See full details of the background to the problem below. 

At Simple Accounting Ltd we decided to review alternative Accounting Software to try and find other long-term solutions for users to replace MYOB. 

Our review criteria are objective and are mainly based on the points that are uniquely successful about MYOB.  The ease of use is derived from certain design features that are simply not reproduced in other software.  You can see our criteria here: Review Criteria

It is not up to us to make a recommendation based upon what software manufacturers tell us, but what we can objectively assess about the software itself. Our assessment of each software against our review criteria is given in detail below.
