MYOB AccountEdge not compatible with Catalina

MYOB announced last year that their AccountEdge product was not compatible with the latest version of Apple’s operating system, Catalina. They have now indicated that they are unable to find a suitable solution for the compatibility issue and are recommending the following for affected users:

We regret to tell you it will not be possible to make AccountEdge Catalina-compliant. Despite exploring a range of options to meet the requirements of the Catalina upgrade, we have been advised it will not be possible to deliver a solution which will allow AccountEdge to operate as it does today. 
 
We know this will be disappointing. However, MYOB has a range of alternative accounting software products available for you to explore and we’re looking forward to sharing some new innovations with you in the coming weeks that will be of particular interest to Mac users. 
 
If you have not upgraded to Catalina, no immediate change is required. We will actively support AccountEdge for the foreseeable future, providing all the same updates, including fresh tax tables, to enable those on previous operating systems to proceed as normal. 
 
 If you need to update your operating system to Catalina, we ask you to please click here to receive a callback and discuss the options.

Contact the team at Shakespeare on 08 9321 2111 if you’d like to discuss how this may apply to you.
