The board of Australian accounting software company MYOB has told its shareholders to resist the temptation to accept an approximately $477 million takeover offer from Manhattan Software Bidco.

Accounting software is never going to be sexy. We didn't find Quickbooks QBi 2008/2009 sexy, but we did find the latest incarnation of the well known brand to be a great program and a worthy upgrade.
With the exception of payroll, MYOB Accounting Plus is pretty much a head to head product on a feature basis with QuickBooks Pro although straight MYOB Accounting would be a better match. The package below Accounting Plus is MYOB Accounting, which we did not receive to test, and while less expensive then Accounting Plus does lose the time billing feature as well as payroll and as a consequence both products bracket QuickBooks Pro.
For anyone starting off their own small service based business, with the emphasis on small and with limited accounting knowledge, MYOB FirstAccounts would be a darned good starting point. Admittedly, if your company grows you will probably need to upgrade to, say, MYOB Accounting. If you sell a product and need to keep an inventory then FirstAccounts is definitely not for you.
Given the "lean and mean" structure of most small companies it is a bit much to expect them to have in-depth accounting knowledge or be able to hire a dedicated accountant. The answer: SOHO accounting packages.
