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.

We use AccountEdge as our company's accounting platform. Used for invoicing customers, tracking sales, and payroll. We used to use Quickbooks, but a number of years ago when they announced that they would no longer be supporting Mac users, we needed to find an alternative, and AccountEdge (MYOB at that time) was the answer.
  • Supports Mac users. They have worked to overcome major changes implemented by Apple that were challenging.
  • Interface makes it easy for users at all levels to do what they need to in the program.
  • Does the heavy lifting for payroll, taxes, and accounts.
  • Probably our biggest beef is the sales pitch a while back to incorporate their POS system Checkout that was supposed to integrate hand in glove with AccountEdge (it never really did.) Now the company has abandoned the POS program (even the website is now a 404 error page). Checkout is glitchy, and rather than improving it, they just dropped it and left users like us who bought into it unsupported. That doesn't reflect well on the company's customer service in our view. We've been AccountEdge users from back when it was MYOB, but our confidence in their future dependability has been strongly impacted by this move, and if something else came along, our hard-earned loyalty might not be as firm as it has been in the past.
  • Some tasks in AccountEdge take a long time to complete (go get a coffee while the spinning beachball turns).
  • Don't know the feasibility, but it would be nice to have access to older transactions, maybe even in some kind of read-only format.
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.

  • As a Mac user, AccountEdge gave us a way to manage our accounts when others didn't support us.
  • Gives a nice professional presentation to documents given to our clients and vendors.
Originally the decision was made for us when Quickbooks abandoned Mac users for a number of years. However, now that QuickBooks has returned to serving the Mac market, we are satisfied with AccountEdge's support of our platform. The user-friendly interface has made it easy for us to bring new users up to speed on the program. We have colleagues who are using QuickBooks and they are often frustrated with problems they are experiencing, cementing, even more, our satisfaction with AE.
The intuitive interface does all the tasks we need our accounting software to do. Some tasks are slower to process than I would like but overall very usable. Customizable forms let us choose to either go with the easy ready-made out-of-the-box options or retool them to better fit our specific needs.
On the few occasions we have needed tech support over the years, they were responsive and worked to get to the root of the issues. However, even though Checkout POS is a separate application, it was pitched to us as a natural extension of the functionality of our AE software that would integrate seamlessly. The company's support for Checkout has been minimal at best, and now totally abandoned. That colors our view of Priority's support unfortunately. And to be honest, that's why it's a 9 instead of a 10. So to be fair, AccountEdge's support itself has been very good over the years.

I am a one-person graphic design company and I use AccountEdge to manage my business payables and receivables. It lets me easily input my expenses, assign them to a project, if applicable and then when I am ready to bill the client I can mark-up the expenses and easily bill my clients knowing that I am not forgetting to bill anything.
  • Expense tracking
  • Invoicing clients
  • Managing banking; reconciling statements
  • Preparing information for my accountant for quarterly and year-end reports
  • Some of the reports could be easier to customize but maybe I just don't know how to do that
  • It would be nice if there was a way to also link a personal account so I can track all of my expenses in one place (business and personal)
  • Would also be nice to be able to download credit card statement purchases easily directly into the program instead of having to manually add them
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.

I haven't tried any alternatives other than using Quicken for my personal use.
