    Accounting Software

    MYOB or Quicken?

    Anyone use either or both of those?

    For and against for each one, need to start using one soon

    We use MYOB at work.... but what I suggest you do is talk to your bookkeeper and accountant to see what they prefer.

    Ultimately they are the ones who will use the data, so you want to make their lives easier = less billing time for you.

    We also use myob as it was suggested by our accountant. Wife did a course and it seems easy enough. No need to get the expensive (and useless) extra helpdesk features and extra tax tables. Just get the programm as is.

    Most smaller companies ive worked for all use MYOB. Quicken had it's time, albeit breif, but everyone changed back.
