Can I install AccountRight on a Mac?

AccountRight is designed for use on the Windows operating system. Consider using MYOB AccountEdge which is designed for the Mac, or MYOB Essentials which runs in a web browser and can be used on both on Windows and Mac.

If you want to install AccountRight on an Apple Mac, you'll need to install Windows on your Mac first. You can do this using Boot Camp (a Mac utility that allows you to install other operating systems) or virtual software such as Parallels or WMware. Note that running AccountRight on virtual software may affect performance and speed. And while many users report a good experience, it's not tested or supported by MYOB.
