MYOB Business Basics

Looks good.

Can not get it to recognise a new account as a DAT file. Cannot gret it to import the previous headings to save time re-inputting even though it is from within BB

I cannot recommend this as it is hard to understand (the help manule is confusing with its terminology), frustrating and does not seem to flow when importing thus wasting a lot of time trying to sort it out.

MYOB are pulling out of the UK as far as I am aware? What is the point in buying the software due to this?

The software is good. But if they are pulling out of the UK how can PC world continue to sell the product's? Therefore I do not recommend to buy this finance and accounting software.

My wife is setting up a small sole trader start up. I run a medium sized business, i have an accounts and finance manager to do the hard stuff. I am not a bookkeeping expert however.

We bought the MYOB Business Basics to handle the day to day accounting / bookkeeping for my wife's business. She has no trading experience. After much reading of reviews we settled on MYOBBB as it seemed the most comprehensive and good value.

It installs fine and contains some wizards to start building customer lists, account lists etc. However I have found the software impenetrable. For a established user of any other proprietary accounts package, I am sure they would be able to port over their experience quite easily into what seems like a good setup, but for the first time user it's tough.

We have gone for the money back offer and are trying quickbooks simple start
