MYOB is a versatile accounting software that offers various use cases to help businesses manage their finances efficiently. Users rely on MYOB to monitor daily cash flow, track running expenses, and generate monthly reports for easy BAS processing, invoicing, and staff payroll. It is widely used by businesses of all sizes, with Essentials catering to small businesses and Account Right serving as the primary choice for larger enterprises.

One of the standout features of MYOB is its bank feeds functionality, which has been praised by users for saving them valuable time. This feature allows users to import sales and staff data from rostering and point-of-sale software, streamlining data entry and facilitating accurate reporting. Additionally, MYOB's payroll capabilities are highly appreciated by users, enabling them to issue payslips and keep track of sick pay, holiday pay, and personal leave accrual. The integration with other software systems, such as rostering and point of sale, further enhances the user experience and simplifies data management.

Furthermore, MYOB supports basic accounting tasks like payables, receivables, payroll, and general ledger management. Its proforma reports are widely used for financial analysis and trend analysis, empowering businesses to make informed decisions based on real-time snapshots of their performance. While some users have encountered difficulties with customer support and experienced issues with backups taking too long or automating bank feeds and Amex corporate cards, MYOB remains a popular choice for managing various accounting processes such as reporting, invoicing, accounts payable, bank reconciliations, and payroll.

Despite criticisms regarding the outdated interface and design resembling software from 1998, as well as occasional compatibility issues with Windows updates causing disruptions for users, MYOB continues to be considered a reliable accounting and tax software solution. Many users in New Zealand particularly trust MYOB for their accounting needs. However, some users have opted to switch to other accounting systems like Xero due to dissatisfaction with MYOB's support and functionality. Overall, MYOB has proven effective in handling a range of accounting needs, including purchases, invoices, sales, POs, payroll, and inventory management, making it a valuable tool for businesses across various industries.

Based on user reviews, here are the most common recommendations for MYOB:

  1. Users suggest comparing MYOB with other software options to find the best fit for their organization. This allows for a thorough evaluation of features, pricing, and suitability.

  2. MYOB may not be recommended for small businesses, although specific reasons are not provided. Small business owners should consider alternative software options tailored to their needs.

  3. While some users have experienced slow performance, MYOB still fulfills necessary accounting needs. Despite the speed-related issues, MYOB offers adequate functionality.

When considering accounting software options, it is crucial to take these recommendations into account alongside factors like budget, scalability, and specific business requirements.

After years of using the Premier software, MYOB changed to ABSS and we were suddenly forced to verify the company file every few months, otherwise it turns into a 'Read-only' file. This became increasing difficult, when the online verification was no longer an option and could only be done by international phone call. As time progressed the company file verification became increasingly more often. In the last year, the telephone verification process tells me that our serial number does not exist. This means more time wasted trying to track down a representative that could verify our serial number and allow us to verify the file. After numerous phone calls our company file would be activated and the serial number would now work through the telephone verification. So this means they are deliberately deactivating the serial number and reactivating it when it suits them.
Now we have been informed that they will no longer be able to verify the company file in the near future and to get access to our data, I will have to purchase a one-time only upgrade. This is criminal. They are holding our company data hostage if we do not pay them additional money.

MYOB is suitable for any business. I have two different businesses and both use MYOB effectively. I use MYOB to pay wages every fortnight for both businesses. This enables me to track exactly what is happening with everyone's different sick leave and holiday entitlements easily. I'm also able to keep track of expenditure and balance and reconcile the accounts against bank statements.

Easy to use, the recurring transactions make it easy to keep an eye on missed bills and future plans. I really like the auto-record system where the recurring invoices are recorded, great for memberships, etc. It's easy to use and the reporting is great. I use job codes to further break down profit and loss on specific items. I just don't like the online-offline system so I use offline and backup.

[In my experience ]MYOB [tries] to charge me credit card fees every time I invoice. I have to UNCHECK the option for each invoice created otherwise I get a rude shock when the MYOB invoice comes around. When I chose to change my accounting software they told me that I can not transfer my contact details over and everything needs to be done manually. Another obvious way of trying to keep customers using their poorly designed and expensive accounting software. I deeply regret ever signing up to MYOB and would never recommend anyone to use them. [I feel that they have] poor service and poor interface. [In my opinion] this was a horrible experience and [I feel that this product] a huge waste of time and money

I would recommended to all of my managed services clients as MYOB products are easy to deploy and manage. And also all of my customers use MYOB products from ACE Payroll, Payroll essentials, Account Right, AE/AO accounts plus, tax manager, etc. Some of my customers switched to other apps like Xero, they were using ACE payroll before but now the upgrade options is the essentials only which is a bit expensive for a small companies.

Similarly priced with other products with similar functionality; however, the system is buggy, customer service and communications are poor, and business processes are often inconvenient and unintuitive (e.g., users can self-service their subscriptions as long as they are upgrading but if you want to downgrade or cancel, you have to call them, which is a long and painful process--I assume intentionally so). Also, their documentation states you can cancel your subscription under the My Products menu, which doesn't exist (according to their own support).

For a smaller business who isn't interested in having more than one user I think MYOB can serve them well. But if they want multiple users or are using virtual assistants there are better cloud based apps that are much more affordable and have far greater enhancements as well as integrations.
