Introducing MYOB Essentials

Depending on the features of AccountEdge you’re currently using, MYOB Essentials might be a good fit for your business.

MYOB Essentials works on an internet browser, so you can use it on any computer that's connected to the internet. However, MYOB Essentials doesn’t have all the features of AccountEdge, so might not be suitable if you currently use any of the following:

  • Cost centres
  • Inventory (including serial number tracking and locations)
  • Multi-currency
  • Time billing
  • Jobs/departments
  • Recurring transactions
  • Purchase orders
  • Sales orders
  • Substantial reporting requirements
