Choose a ledger

Before you jump into Client Accounting, take a minute to think about your client's needs.

Similarly, you might need special software to work on a client's complex accounts, but you may not need the same functions for a client with much simpler reporting requirements.

Each ledger gives you a different set of tools for preparing your client’s accounts, so you want to make sure you choose the right ledger for the job.

Choosing the right ledger is easy. Answer the questions below to tell us what your client needs and we'll recommend the best ledger to meet your requirements.

Choose the right tool for the job

Does your client have any special reporting requirements?

Special or 'complex' reporting requirements include highly customised reports, consolidated entity reports, and compliant statutory reports for reporting entities.

We recommend...

MAS, Accounts or AO Classic General Ledger

With an MYOB ledger, you can take advantage of all Client Accounting modules to prepare Workpapers, manage Assets and produce Reports from a single location within your Accountants Enterprise (AE) or Accountants Office (AO) software.

If you've got an existing ledger for your client, you can move your data over to MYOB ledger.

We recommend this option where your client is a non-reporting entity and doesn't need complex reports, or where your client does not use an MYOB bookkeeping software, or uses MYOB AccountEdge.

MYOB AccountRight or Essentials

If your client uses an AccountRight, Essentials (pre-March 2020) or MYOB Business, Essentials (new) ledger, you can link their data file to Client Accounting and perform all your end-of-year adjustments on the same ledger that they use to do their day to day transactions.

As you'll be working on your client's ledger, your balances will always be the same as your client's.

We recommend this option if your client has an AccountRight or Essentials data file.
