Frequently Asked Questions

Enterprise Software

What is Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software?

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software connects every part of your business – all in the cloud.

Our business management platform, MYOB Advanced, is powerful ERP software that brings together all your needs in once place. Financial management, CRM, account management, managing teams, managing your business compliance, work processing and more.

Our ERP software can be tailored to provide a full 360-degree view of your business in real time, streamline your processes and automate manual tasks so you can spend more time focused on strategic initiatives that grow your business.

What is a software stack?

Many firms own or subscribe to a stack of software tools to run their business. Often these software tools function as ‘islands of system automation’. These disparate systems can create a maze of information and may require workarounds within a business to deliver any meaningful work processes, reporting or business insights.

MYOB Advanced is an all-of-business management platform that substantially replaces a software stack, eliminates islands of system automation, and provides a full 360-degree view of your business in real time.

What is SaaS?

SaaS is the acronym for ‘Software as a Service’. SaaS is a cloud-based method of providing software to users. SaaS users subscribe to an application, rather than purchasing it once and installing it. Users can log into and use a SaaS application from any compatible device over the Internet.

MYOB Advanced is a SaaS product and is cloud hosted.

MYOB Advanced has an integrated General Ledger. Why is this so useful?

MYOB Advanced features an integrated General Ledger.

Accounting Practice

Why would I choose to take up a Business Management Platform vs a Practice Management Platform?

Traditional practice management solutions help you manage your practice's workflow, time tracking and job costing for customer work, a small part of what is needed to run an accounting practice.

Practice management reporting is typically limited to the job or staff level, in isolation from the broader business metrics that modern accounting practices need to make smarter business decisions.
