MYOB, the accountancy software provider, is calling on accountants to help meet the increasing demand for MYOB accounting software by small businesses. Since quadrupling its share of the desktop sector, MYOB has developed a professional partner programme to recruit MYOB friendly accountants to help existing and prospective customers.

The professional partner programme costs just £199 per year and will help the practice keep up-to-date with the ever changing technology used and requested by clients. As the number of small businesses using MYOB software increases, accountants are more likely to be asked about the products.

MYOB are keen to provide their 500,000 customers worldwide with a network of accountants. A significant finding from a survey commissioned by MYOB earlier this year found that accountants were the number one source of advice for entrepreneurs. Just under half (48%) said that they regularly turned to their accountants for advice. With this increasing reliance on accountants, they need to ensure that they are up to date with the best solutions for their clients.

Booth Anderson recently joined the MYOB professional partner programme and said: "Our clients are increasingly turning to MYOB and therefore we need to keep up with changes in it to be able to provide our clients with the best possible service."

Another accountancy firm, ALB, has had little difficulty selling MYOB software. Andrew Small, partner, said: "It's fairly easy to sell because the majority of clients are just starting out and they're looking to get software in place quickly."

"They're also looking to select a system which is fully scalable for their company, and the MYOB software certainly fits the bill here.'

Simon Smith, general manager of MYOB, said: 'At MYOB, we recognise the vital role that Accountants play in helping small businesses to succeed. We want to supply our customers with a network of accountants to provide the advice they need to survive and thrive. With the ever increasing number of small businesses using MYOB software now is the perfect time to join the professional partner programme'
