Xero Saves the Day for AccountEdge Users

Xero Saves the Day for AccountEdge Users

Are you an Apple Mac user? Are you excited about Apple’s new operating system, Catalina?

With improvements to the Photos app, enhancements to the Notes app, new features in Apple Mail, voice control, iCloud Drive folder sharing and more, we’re thrilled about upgrading to the new iOS!

On a less exciting note, you may be aware that MYOB have confirmed that AccountEdge is not compatible with the new Catalina operating system.

If you’re currently managing your accounting or bookkeeping with AccountEdge running on an Apple Mac, you may be feeling a little concerned right now.
AccountEdge released the following statement explaining their decision:

“We are disappointed to share that we will not be able to offer a Catalina-compliant version of AccountEdge – now or in the future. In the end, AccountEdge’s 30-year-old codebase proved too outdated to establish compatibility with Apple’s newest operating system. In spite of a multi-year project that involved a team of developers and analysts, it’s a project we will not be able to complete.”

We fully endorse Xero as our accounting and bookkeeping software of choice, no matter which operating system you’re using.

Here at Tashly Consulting we’ve received numerous phone calls from business owners concerned about their MYOB-based bookkeeping systems following this announcement.

We’ve already helped many business professionals find a better solution, one which allows them to take advantage of the fantastic new features of Catalina while maintaining the integrity of their business processes, systems and records. We fully endorse Xero as our accounting and bookkeeping software of choice, no matter which operating system you’re using.
