Here are four key reasons to choose MYOB over QuickBooks
Local customer support whenever you need it
Tired of asking bots for help? Our support teams are not just available 7 days a week – they're all real people who understand New Zealand business, and how to make MYOB software work best for you.
Greater built-in functionality
More of the features you need are built into MYOB Essentials, so you’re less likely to need loads of app integrations (which can increase costs!). With powerful functionality at one standard monthly price, you’ll always be clear on how your software supports your business, and how much it costs.
Error-free bank feeds
We're the only bank feed provider in New Zealand with a quality guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with the quality, you can claim repayment of 30 days of your subscription. Guaranteed.
Compliance with confidence
We keep up with IRD requirements so you don’t have to (and we automatically update your software to meet them). So come tax time, you can generate and send reports directly from MYOB Essentials in just a few clicks.
