doesn't have all the features of AccountRight, so to help you work out if MYOB Essentials is for you, see this checklist:
Checklist
TitleCheck that you:
  • have internet access
  • don't use job management
  • don't use recurring transactions
  • don't use purchase orders
  • don't use remittance advices
 

There's a number of features that aren't yet available in MYOB Essentials. If you use any of these features in AccountRight or AccountEdge, you're not able to move to MYOB Essentials yet:

  • tracking the on-hand quantities of your stock
  • creating multi-currency transactions
  • bill for time
  • use category tracking.

If you need to do any of these, we recommend you upgrade to the latest AccountRight instead. The latest AccountRight also has the ability for you to access your company file in a browser.
