Choosing The Right MYOB Accounting Software For Your Business

By Lynley Averis

MYOB Accounting Software

Most small to medium sized NZ businesses will find a package from either the MYOB Business or AccountRight families more than meets their needs. 


The primary distinction between MYOB Business and MYOB AccountRight lies in their accessibility. MYOB Business is only accessed with a web browser, while with MYOB AccountRight you can use either a web browser or software installed on your computer.

In terms of functionality, AccountRight offers a more extensive feature set compared to MYOB Business. Generally, smaller and less complex businesses tend to prefer MYOB Business, while larger businesses or those with intricate requirements often opt for MYOB AccountRight.


Below we give a brief overview of different MYOB packages so you can identify which is most appropriate for your needs. And if you're still not sure which is right for you, click here for help.
