MYOB BusinessEssentials Pro Unveiled as MYOB US, Inc. Delivers Complete Software Suite For Small Business Management.

ROCKAWAY, NJ -- MYOB US, Inc. today announced BusinessEssentials(TM) Pro, a suite of software that goes beyond accounting to provide small business owners the tools needed for financial management, forecasting, budgeting, and more.

BusinessEssentials Pro includes MYOB's robust accounting software, MYOB Premier Accounting(TM). Premier Accounting is a full-featured financial and business management solution for small business. Formerly known as MYOB Plus, Premier Accounting offers complete sales and purchases, versatile banking features, robust inventory tracking, flexible time billing, customer management through the card file, and the ability to run a complete payroll.

A complete solution in a box, BusinessEssentials Pro is packed with additional software to cater to the small business owner's wider scope of operations. BusinessEssentials Pro helps the small business owner forecast, manage, and grow with the following tools:

--Ultimate Financial Forecaster(R) - forecasting software that lets you know how much money you're likely to make next month, next year or anytime down the road. Also includes sample business plans.

--Staff Files(R) - easily complete performance evaluations, document employee training, track sick and vacation time, and many other HR duties.

--Customer Appointment Manager(TM) - schedule and organize customer appointments efficiently.

--The Logo Creator(TM) - logo design software that makes it easy to create a professional look for your Premier Accounting invoices, business cards, letterhead, and other forms or for your website.

--Virtual Small Business Workshop - complimentary software provided by the IRS to foster a better understanding of small business regulations and tax laws.

--"Where Did the Money Go?" - an insightful book by acclaimed author Ellen Rohr, teaching the basics of business in fun-to-read, educational chapters.

--MYOB Accounting 101 - a handbook with detailed training on fundamental accounting principles.

"We're excited to provide a total productivity solution for small business," says Cynthia Mackewicz, General Manager, MYOB US. "Premier Accounting is a robust financial management product on its own, and the suite of software added to it serves to create a winning solution for the small business owner. BusinessEssentials Pro is $900 worth of value in a $299 package. It has multiple software solutions that address most of the typical areas of a small business operation, all in one box. We think of it as a one-stop-shop for the small business owner."

Building on the mantra of offering a smart investment for small business owners who seek value in an affordable, easy-to-use, and complete accounting-and-more software suite, BusinessEssentials Pro picks up where BusinessEssentials, announced last week, leaves off, by adding more power to the central accounting core with MYOB Premier Accounting.

A partial list of features new to Premier Accounting:

New Integrated Payroll Forms Service

--MYOB Payroll Forms Service brings the ability to print on plain paper and the option to electronically file over 250 US Federal and State tax forms, including forms W-2, W-3, 940, and 941 directly from the software. This integrated service joins with MYOB Business Services, which include the ability to accept credit cards, directly deposit employee's paychecks, electronically pay vendors, and outsource payroll. All services are integrated with Premier Accounting and are optional and fee-based.

Easier Payroll

--Running payroll directly from Premier Accounting is faster and easier than ever, thanks to the Process Payroll Assistant. A complete company payroll can be run in moments with the flexibility of paying by check, cash, or even electronically when combined with the optional MYOB Direct Deposit Service, as well as easy review of employee time worked and paychecks.

Time-Savers

--Recurring transactions can be created and scheduled from a single location, complete with automatic recording or automatic reminders to record, sent to a specific employee.
