Easy business and accounting software for small or home-based businesses using the Mac
Running your own consultancy or working out of home on a Mac?
MYOB FirstEdge has been designed with the small or home-based Mac-using business in mind. Together with the more powerful MYOB AccountEdge, MYOB FirstEdge has been custom-written to capture the unique personality and intuitive functionality of the Mac, helping you work faster and more effectively on all of your basic business management and accounting tasks.
If you've been keeping track of income, expenses and GST in a spreadsheet, or issuing your tax invoices from a word processing program, then you can easily transfer this information across to MYOB FirstEdge and bring all of your basic business functions together in the one easy-to-understand application.
MYOB FirstEdge simplifies the way you quote, track and invoice your jobs, simultaneously tracking your transactions and GST, and providing you with over 70 reports to help you understand your business.
And as with the other members of the MYOB business management family, if you do your banking online, you can download your business bank and credit card statements, import them straight into MYOB FirstEdge and have the matched transactions automatically reconciled.
At MYOB we believe our customers have the right to choose how they run their business.
We also believe that, whether you use a PC or a Mac, your business deserves to benefit from the best possible business management software.
MYOB has been providing Mac users with award-winning business software for more than 13 years. It's a commitment and track record that few software companies in the world can match.
Setting up MYOB FirstEdge for your business
Before you start, it's important that you have a clear idea of your business needs and the accounting information you want to track. For example, your main areas of income and how your customers pay for your goods and services.
You should plan right from the start to use FirstEdge to handle your invoicing, so it's worth preparing a list of your customers and their outstanding balances (see below).
If you employ staff, you should consider investing in MYOB AccountEdge rather than MYOB FirstEdge. An integrated payroll will save you hours of work a month, as well keep track of all your payroll obligations, so even if you have only one employee (and that could be you!) it's better to invest in the right product now.
If you don't have all the information you need immediately at hand, don't worry; you can always go back and add the rest later. In the meantime, you can start using FirstEdge.
Up and running within 30 minutes
You should set aside about 30 minutes for the initial setup of your MYOB FirstEdge company file. There's an Easy Setup Assistant to guide you step by step through the process. As with any task, it helps to have all the information you need close at hand before you begin.
You'll need to make a list of your accounts and their balances, including your cheque and credit card accounts, accounts for tracking income, and expenses such as office rent, utilities and advertising. If your accountant can provide you with an accounts list, or your accounts list is in another program, you can import it into MYOB FirstEdge if it's in a tab-delimited or comma-separated format.
You should also make a list of your customers and their contact details. Again, if your customer list is in another program, you can import it into MYOB FirstEdge if it's in a tab-delimited or comma-separated format.
