Pros & Cons

MYOB

Pros

  • Deep built-in compliance with Australian and New Zealand tax rules (GST, BAS, ATO reporting)
  • Product tiers scale from solo freelancers up to multi-entity businesses with complex inventory needs
  • Dedicated practice software for accountants and bookkeepers managing multiple clients
  • No lock-in contracts on subscription plans, with cancel-anytime flexibility
  • Established vendor with over three decades in the AU/NZ market and a large existing customer base

Cons

  • Focused on Australia/New Zealand tax compliance, making it a poor fit for businesses outside those markets
  • Introductory pricing steps up significantly after the first few months or first year
  • Full payroll and multi-currency features are reserved for higher-priced AccountRight tiers
  • AI BAS automation is still in beta rather than a mature, fully rolled-out feature

Odoo Accounting

Pros

  • Deep native integration with Sales, Inventory, CRM, and POS avoids duplicate data entry
  • AI-powered invoice capture and bank reconciliation cut manual bookkeeping work
  • Free to start for unlimited users via the One App Free plan
  • Localized tax and reporting support for 100+ countries
  • Scales into a full ERP as the business grows, without switching platforms

Cons

  • Full value requires adopting other Odoo apps rather than using Accounting as a pure standalone tool
  • Per-user pricing on the Standard and Custom plans can add up for larger teams
  • Migrating historical data from QuickBooks, Xero, or similar tools takes upfront effort
  • Some advanced compliance and localization features depend on Odoo Enterprise or country-specific packs
  • Support quality and implementation depth often depend on the Odoo partner handling setup
