AccountEdge is a versatile accounting software that is used by various businesses and departments for a range of tasks. With over 20 employees relying on it for accounting and order entry purposes, AccountEdge has become a daily staple in many organizations. Users have praised its ability to track credit card and bank balances, reconcile accounts, and monitor business and household spending. Additionally, the software is commonly used for time tracking, billing, and managing accounts receivable and client retainers.

One of the standout features of AccountEdge is its robust reporting capabilities, which allow users to analyze and review the health of their businesses. It is particularly popular among bookkeeping services companies due to its support for job costing, inventory management, and integrated payroll. Furthermore, AccountEdge offers unique features like third-way transaction categorization and mobile app/web browser access for adding transactions and tracking time.

The software also integrates seamlessly with other programs such as Shopify web stores and Enstore web store software. Users have found value in AccountEdge's adaptability to different business needs, even dating back to its earlier version called MYOB. Its compatibility with Macintosh systems and direct customer support from the company make it a reliable choice for businesses across various industries.

AccountEdge serves as an all-encompassing accounting solution, covering areas such as receivables, payables, payroll, general ledger reporting, taxes, and banking. It caters to the needs of small printing companies by facilitating inventory management, invoicing customers, and service deployment. Moreover, it enables tax reporting and financial analysis for businesses of all sizes.

One user who had been using QuickBooks made the switch to AccountEdge due to its better support for Mac users. It has proven effective in managing payables and receivables for a one-person graphic design company. Another satisfied user includes a small custom frame company with three to four office employees who utilize AccountEdge daily for tasks like bookkeeping, AR/AP processes, invoicing, and maintaining customer information. By keeping all company and customer data organized in one location, AccountEdge offers convenience and efficiency for its users.

This recommendation rating would have been much higher before the Checkout POS problems described earlier, as it's harder to recommend a company that we are not confident will continue to support customers into the future. As for scenarios, AE has been a good fit for tracking our accounts. We have retail, design, and custom printing services, advertising sales, and newspaper subscriptions to manage, and AE works well for all of them.

  • Well suited to small to medium business with 1-50 people, strong accounting, payroll, and time tracking, also has modules for remote access and mobile time tracking.
  • They also provide a free license to a company's accountant ( if not in-house).

If you are handling a large client list, and are selling services, it is dead easy. If you are managing/selling a physical inventory, it seems like it has great options to do that quite well (disclaimer, I do not use those functions, but I have paid attention as that functionality was built into the software). If you want to link your bank account to a bookkeeping platform, this is not the software for you (at least so far).

I am a sole practitioner, graphic designer and I find Accountedge has been very easy to use. I don't take advantage of the inventory tracking or timesheet capability that it offers but I do use it to easily track and code expenses and invoice clients.

AccountEdge is very well suited for a blend of a retail and service provider business that has a dedicated need for inventory management and ease of order management from quote through to invoice deployment.

I feel AccountEdge is almost universally well suited for most small & medium businesses - either manufacturing or service based. There are a few caveats however. The first thing that needs to be assessed is how the product will be used. If a user desires a cloud based product, this may not the the right accounting suite for them. While there is some cloud functionality with the addition of AccountEdge Cloud as a data entry portal, it must be understood that ultimately the database resides somewhere on someone's desktop and continual syncing is required.

Another area that for some is tricky, is inventory valuation. The value is tracked by averaging the product cost vs first in first out (FIFO).

Once the user passes these initial questions, the versatility of the software makes it easy to accommodate a variety of business models. I especially use it with creatives - photographers, writers, agents, producers, artists, designers, etc. The job (project) tracking especially shines here with the facilitation of budget creation.

If you are doing your accounting on a Mac, this is the go-to accounting application. The major competitor doesn't come close in features. For both PC and Mac users, the major competitor does too many things inside a black box, so you don't know for sure how it comes up with some of the results it shows. AccountEdge doesn't have those hidden "features."

I would not recommend this program to others in the accounting field. It might be useful for other small companies that don't need to run financials for any situation other than tax purposes and is cheaper than any other options. Cost is the main reason I could see this program being chosen over a more popular accounting solution.

It is well-suited to small to medium businesses who prefer Macs and have sophisticated accounting needs that are not handled by QuickBooks for Mac, like inventory, job costing, web store integration, and integrated payroll. It is especially helpful if non-accounting employees (and owners) need to do transactions and time tracking in the field and sync it back to the company file. However, it is not well-suited to micro businesses with owners who have limited accounting knowledge.

Most people use QuickBooks because their accountant does. I tell them if your accountant said they could only drive a Ford and not a Chevy would you think they are very smart? NO, You should not trust your accounting to someone who can only use QuickBooks. Find an accountant who is competent in AccountEdge. If you really like your accountant and they only use QuickBooks and you wouldn't mind suffering to use an inferior product so you can please them, by all means stay with what you are using. However, if you want the job done more efficiently use AccountEdge.

AccountEdge will work for any small business, and I am sure for enterprises as well. It needs to be made into a one-stop shop for everything from Accounting, Sales, and Marketing. Once this is done we would consolidate all of our services into one. Nonetheless, if you are looking for accounting software to run your business....this will be exactly what you need.

AccountEdge is a great tool for a small businesses. It allows you to maintain nearly every part of your business from a single, user-friendly interface. I would highly recommend this program to small business owners that are trying to simplify their business without sacrificing time and money. If you are looking for a way to bring all of your business applications together into one, easy-to-use program, then AccountEdge might be right for you.

There seems to be more people looking for accounting software that is made to run on a Macintosh system. I think this is a good thing. Several decades ago I read an interview in Wired Magazine that said the future of the personal computing would gravitate to the service provider being responsible for security, hardware and software upgrades. Consumers would simply have a monitor in their homes that connected them to the internet and we would sign up for different needed services. This would make the service provider responsible for all the things that are frustrating and expensive for consumers to deal with now like; security issues, hardware upgrades, software updates, etc. This made sense to me and I do see things moving in that general direction. I feel like AccountEdge is well positioned to take this kind of a challenge on.

Payroll: while AccountEdge is good with reporting pay under different localities, I have not yet found how to accurately tax employees according to locality. I have only found one place to put the payroll tax codes in the system and there are only two separate local taxes that remain regardless of the locality chosen on the timecard.
