Several of our clients have multiple rental properties and we need to dissect the various properties. Essentials would be an ideal tool for this, but we don't seem to be able to segregate transactio...
JOBS FUNCTIONALITY NEEDED IN ESSENTIALS!!
I am an Account Edge Pro (Mac OS) user looking to switch to a cloud based solution to work with my bookkeeper and Accountant (both on Windows OS), however I need the job functionalities.
MYOB Essentials is the only MYOB cloud system available for Mac OS users, however it is missing key functionality - JOBS: allocation for costing and tracking against invoices and mobile staff timesheets, job P&L, progress billing and contract retentions.
It appears that AccountRight Live has these functions, however it does not run on Mac OS, and MYOB does not recommend or support running AccountRight on Mac via a parallells program.
Furthermore, I would like to use Add-Ons, such as ServiceM8, however most add-ons are not supported by Account Edge.
Account Edge is increasingly painful to work with accountant and bookkeeper - difficult to open and extract information, and does not allow real time adjustments, leading to delays and errors in reporting and compliance, and disruptions to daily tasks such as quoting and invoicing.
As a commercial trade contractor business, I rely heavily on the jobs functions (allocating jobs against invoices and staff timesheets, running job profit and loss reports), and also progress billing and contract retentions, for large projects running over several months.
I agree with comments above, I like the clean and easy to use interface of MYOB Essentials, however the jobs functionality is a MUST.
I am considering moving to XERO if MYOB cannot provide an alternative adequate system. This will be much cheaper than MYOB Account Edge Pro, which I have been paying for years with frustration.
