Nice site Grace!
I go with Quickbooks too. I feel that MYOB was written by Accountants for Accountants. If the terminology throws you then Quickbooks is much easier to understand and use. I’ve been using it for at least 12 years and love it. My husband uses it for his personal accounting too and never has problems producing the reports his accountant needs for his end of year tax – and he doesn’t run a business! He just likes to know where his money is going and I can’t blame him.
We started with Quickbooks. My wife learnt how to use it and ran our books for about 3 years with no previous experience, and then it was very easy to pass over the a bookkeeper when the time came.
I have heard that MYOB is just as good. I think the choice is between those two, especially if you want to outsource that department to a bookkeeper in the future.
