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.

As a small company, I needed something that did time tracking with multiple project codes and was a true double entry accounting system. AccountEdge fulfills those needs. Even though it is a full double-entry accounting system, it has a good user interface and is relatively easy to use.

It also sports a decent help system and access to a knowledge base. Even though they upgrade it every year, I haven't had the need to upgrade the software for 3 years and it continues to work fine with the latest OS ( Mac OS Mojave).

I use AccountEdge for three small business. I have been using the software since 1996 when it was marketed as MYOB and was the only professional bookkeeping software available for Apple computers. Since then, I have remained faithful through re-writes and acquisitions. Overall, I really like the software and have found it to be very adaptable to my needs in the different companies (more on that later). I have a small amount of experience with Quickbooks for Mac, so I can offer some generalized comparisons.

I use AccountEdge mostly for ledger entry of transactions, client/contractor/employee information, and to run reports for tax and accounting purposes. I do not use it for its (formidable) inventory, billing, merchant services and invoicing capabilities.

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.

I've been using AccountEdge for my business and household in addition to using it with clients since 1999. For me, simply put, its function is to show me the money trails. With it I track credit card & bank balances, reconcile to the penny and know exactly the areas of my business and/or household spending is occurring.

On the flip side, I do all of my time tracking and billing for my business through AccountEdge. It manages my A/R, client retainers as well as allows me to set up various reminders.

For my clients I have used the built in payroll module, jobs for project tracking, Departments & Inventory Management. The built in reporting is powerful, allowing me to analyze and review business health with my clients.

I use AccountEdge for my company's accounting, including billing, accounts receivable, and retainers, accounts payable, and payroll. As a 'lone eagle,' I don't have any staff doing this, I do it myself. I started with it back in 1995, when it was called "MYOB" for "Mind Your Own Business." While the program is available both for Windows and Mac computers, I have always used it on a Mac. I have some clients who have used the PC version; I can work with their data file on my Mac without having to do special backups, because the data file itself is completely cross-platform compatible, unlike some competitive products.

We use AccountEdge as the accounting system for the entire company. Although it is used to maintain data for the entire company, I am the only person in the company who accesses the program on a regular basis. Occasionally I submit reports to my supervisor using AccountEdge, but that is the limit of any other employee's interaction with the program. It is used for tax reporting and financial analysis purposes.

We use AccountEdge for accounting in our own bookkeeping services company and we also support clients who use it, most commonly on Mac computers, but also on Windows. It is ideal for those clients who need robust job costing and/or inventory, as well as integrated payroll that passes payroll costs through to jobs seamlessly. Other things it supports that its closest competitor, QuickBooks for Mac, does not are retainers and escrow accounts, multi-currency, and product variations in inventory like color, size, etc. One unique feature is a third way to categorize transactions, so that you can label a transaction with a job, a category (like classes in QuickBooks) and a department, all at once. I know of no other small business accounting software that offers that, on Mac or Windows. Finally, there is a mobile app as well as web browser access to be able to add transactions (like invoices for customers or expenses at the point of purchase) and to track time and then sync the data back to the company file. Employees can be given access to that feature without accessing any company information. It also integrates with Shopify web stores and their own Enstore web store software too!

The clients I work with have multiple businesses from Sole Proprietorships to LLCs to S Corps to personal accounting. Co-mingling of funds has always been an issue. In a perfect world business expense come out of the business account, etc. etc. By using a Job code for expenses and income, I can combine multiple checkbooks and still run individual P&L's for those jobs. And yet at the end of the day, a client can see a Balance Sheet that represents their entire life.

The office employees (3 to 4) at a small custom frame company used the software to generate quotes, invoices, and keep track of payments. There was a part-time bookkeeper who used the software most frequently, but all office employees used AccountEdge on a daily basis.

AccountEdge is our Accounting/Order entry software. It's used daily by upwards of 20 employees. All Mac's signing in through a remote desktop to a windows server where AccountEdge is hosted. A/E is extremely easy to use, has powerful reports, and great features. There is only one thing that would make it better, and that is if it were to have better support for Mac and not just Windows. The Mac app is not robust enough for our 20+ employee company, but that may be due to implementation, something that Acclivity should be helping us with, but hasn't contacted us to try and upgrade. Not sure we would anyhow, due to what our IT Department has said about A/E for Mac.

It is a very small business, so AccountEdge is being used across the board in all departments. Uses include bookkeeping, AR/AP, invoicing, maintaining customer information, and sales. AccountEdge helps to keep all company and customer data organized in one location.

Our organization uses AccountEdge for inventory, sales, accounting, and various business functions. It's currently used by all departments in our corporate office except Warehouse and Human Resources. It addresses business problems such as: inventory control, accounts receivable & payable, assets & liabilities, banking & budgeting/forecasting, etc.

I used AccountEdge when I ran my own marketing company several years ago. I used many of the software features including SurePayroll which was their web based payroll solution. At the time we were running all Macintosh machines and operating systems. We had developed customized databases using FileMaker Pro and I was able to integrate my reports into that program by using MSExcel. The whole process took a little bit of time to set up, but once it was running, we had no problems with it for five years until our company closed. Now I have helped clients set up their Chart of Accounts and maintain their books in this program. I have been advocating AccountEdge over other accounting software, like QuickBooks, because it operates better on most systems and doesn't cause the kind of software conflicts that other brands do, especially when run on Macintosh systems. Unlike other accounting software you are able to get customer support from this company, not just their affiliates.

AccountEdge is used for all aspects of Griffie Electric from receivables, payables and payroll as well as general ledger reporting, taxes and banking. It satisfies the accounting needs of my small business fairly well. I say only fairly because there are things in past systems that I have not yet been able to find in this software. I'm still learning the ins and outs though so I'm sure there are things that I just haven't found yet.
