What accounting software is right for me?

A question we are asked a lot is “what is the best accounting software for small business, which one should I choose?”

The choices can be confusing at first glance, with multiple options available, all with differing feature sets and pricing structures.

In this video Kylie Ufer runs through the four industry leaders (Reckon, MYOB, Quickbooks and XERO), giving a breakdown of each, and a run-through of their strengths and weaknesses.

At the end of the video, she gives her recommendation as to the one she feels is the best, with reasons as to why she has made this pick.
