Hey Robyn111 TezzaB1 gavin12345 SammiB,
Thank you all for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback about the recent changes.
The changes we made to the language within the product was done to help make it more intuitive for all types of users. A portion of our MYOB community is made up of small business owners who may not have had formal training in accounting or finance. We’ve found through user research that accountants and bookkeepers understood the changes, and use of ‘categories’, whereas small business operators may be confused by established accounting terminology.
However, where the use of ‘accounts’ is required for compliance purposes, such as in reporting, we have used the established accounting terminology. These reports are typically used by experienced accountants and bookkeepers who will understand the deliberate use of this language in this context.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Cheers, Amanda.
