  • Codat's Guide to the Accounting Software Market July 2020 How Is the Accounting Market Changing and What Does This Mean?
    Codat's guide to the accounting software market July 2020 How is the accounting market changing and what does this mean? Across the world there are certainly dominant players within the accounting software market. However the market is rapidly changing and expanding. Key players are diversifying and fragmenting their offering to suit the ever changing needs of their key audience - the small business. A long tail of other accounting packages has emerged, spurred on by a huge shift in demand from desktop based packages to cloud based services which has largely been attributed to changing consumer expectations and regulation that has driven accounting and tax online. The expansion of cloud services has opened the door to more accessible and cost-saving software packages that include more automated features meaning that individuals with little to no accounting experience could navigate them. The cloud also allows for more centralised data which freely flows through APIs and integrations across platforms leading to greater insights and analysis that can be vital for a small business to survive and flourish. The accounting software market has transformed into a highly competitive, digitized and interconnected landscape which is largely driven with one customer in mind - the small business. *All data contained within this paper is based on extensive research carried out by Codat from various different sources, including both public and non-public sources. Some data has been calculated based on global figures and split across regions according to presence in the region. All data has been provided on a best-efforts basis, however Codat cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information.

  • Public Version 1 Myob/Reckon Accountants Group Letter
    PUBLIC VERSION MYOB/RECKON ACCOUNTANTS GROUP LETTER OF ISSUES 1. Introduction 1.1 This document sets out the response of MYOB and Reckon to the Commerce Commission’s (NZCC ’s) Letter of Issues ( LOI ) in relation to the proposed acquisition by MYOB Group Limited (MYOB ) of the Accountants Group of Reckon Limited ( Reckon ) ( Proposed Transaction ). 1.2 The NZCC’s focus is whether the Proposed Transaction may give MYOB the incentive and ability to raise prices to medium to large accounting firms and a sub-set of accounting firms that do not consider cloud-based accounting software to be a viable alternative. As part of this assessment, the NZCC is considering whether MYOB may be able to price discriminate between different accounting firms. 1.3 For the reasons set out below, there is strong evidence that MYOB will not have the incentive or ability to raise prices to any customer or sub-set of customers post-merger, and will not do so. 2. Executive Summary 2.1 The effects of the Proposed Transaction must be assessed against a likely counterfactual. To this end, there is no prospect whatsoever that Reckon will move its APS suite to the cloud. As [REDACTED] , and it has stated (as a listed company), it simply does not have the resources (nor the time) to do this. As a result, its constraint on the market will decline. Indeed, it is already declining, as evidenced by [REDACTED] . 2.2 As to the relevant markets: (a) the evidence reveals that the compliance software requirements (i.e. client accounting and tax) are the same for all firms.

  • Social Capital in Action: from Nought to Xero MMIM590
    Social Capital in Action: From Nought to Xero MMIM590 by Karen McKeefry 300065582 Supervisor: Professor Pak Yoong Submitted to the School of Information Management Victoria University of Wellington In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Information Management 16 October 2009 Abstract Typically internet start-ups (e-ventures) are innovative, independent, original companies that focus on information as their competitive factor. They are characterised by enormous growth potential, giving rise to technical and market risk. Resourcing these ventures can be daunting usually requiring significant financial and human capital and once the venture is formed they are subject to a liability of newness with no track record, legitimacy or endorsement for the product/service. Whilst entrepreneurs bring their own resources and skills to the business it is necessary to seek additional complementary resources through sustainable exchange relationships to ensure the ventures success. This report has used a case study of a New Zealand e-venture to provide qualitative evidence of how resources were secured to start and initially grow the business. Using Napahiet and Ghoshal’s (1998) three dimensional model of social capital it has analysed the evidence against scholarly theory to determine how social capital assisted the founders and the company to fulfil resource requirements and overcome the liability of newness. Napahiet and Ghoshal define social capital as “the sum of the actual and potential resources embedded within, available through, and derived from the network of relationships possessed by individuals or social unit” (p.243). The report found that the high level of social capital the founders brought to the venture assisted in gaining quick access to finances, skilled staff, competitive information and potential customers.

  • Cloud Accounting Software Demo Files Instruction Booklet
    Bringing the Cloud to Ground Level Cloud Accounting Software Demo Files Instruction Booklet MYOB, Xero, Reckon, Intuit Quickbooks and Phoenix by AgData. Bringing the Cloud to Ground Level Now that the NBN (National Broadband Network) is a reality in regional communities across Australia, more businesses finally have the internet quality to use cloud accounting. Some people find this very daunting, while others can’t wait to embrace the new technology and systems. Our goal is to take away some of the mystery. In simple terms, using “the Cloud” means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet, instead of your computer’s hard drive. One thing is for sure, desktop software is out and cloud software is in… but there’s more to it than being able to ‘do your bookwork’ while sitting on the beach. Some of the business advantages include real time financial information from direct bank feeds, on-the-go invoicing, better communication with your accountant and advisers, and the ability to view your accounting files from anywhere in the world. It means saying goodbye to memory sticks and emailing files. It also allows you to integrate other processes like payroll systems, stock control, invoicing and farm management. Despite what you might think, you don’t have to be a technical guru to use cloud products. Even businesses who are quite traditional in their bookkeeping, using paper reporting, can switch to a cloud based-product and experience the ease of use and lifestyle benefits. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. In June 2017, BMO hosted a regional Queensland first – free accounting software expo where all the big players including Xero, MYOB, Intuit Quickbooks Online, Phoenix by AgData and Reckon all offered demonstrations and one-on-one sessions to help people better appreciate the different packages on offer and how they work.

    Accountex 2016 on verge of selling out Accountex – The National Accountancy Exhibition & Conference, taking place at ExCeL London next month, on 11-12 May, is set to sell out to exhibitors within the next few days for the fifth year in a row. If a trade show is an indication of the health of an industry, then the Accountancy profession is in great shape. The event attracted over 5,000 accountants and finance professionals in 2015, and sold out weeks before the doors opened. Subsequent demand for 2016 led the organisers to expand the floorplan by a further 20%. This too is now on the verge of selling out, with five weeks still to go. Microsoft UK, SAGE UK, Exact, Thomson Reuters, Taxcalc, Intuit QuickBooks, Xero, Tolley, Aviva, Reckon UK, DocuSoft, ACCA, Wolters Kluwer, FreeAgent, Expensify, Catax Solutions, Abbey Tax and Consultancy Services, and CIMA are among the 200 exhibitors keen to showcase their hottest new products and services to the profession at the 2016 event; which will host over 185 CPD accredited seminars, panel sessions, interactive workshops, and unrivalled networking opportunities. Accountex event director Tom King, said: "The accounting profession is one of the fastest changing industries in the UK and, having worked within this market for nearly five years, I can say that there has never been so much opportunity to work with accountants and their clients. “Cloud technology has brought with it a new way for Accountants to work; more demanding clients, who expect more for less and in less time than ever before. Accountex has been working with thought leaders to support and assist the profession during these changes.
