What sort of cost are you looking at for MYOB?

Is it something you can teach yourself or do you need to do a course?

It depends on what you want out of it...MYOB has simple invoicing programs which were around $100.00 right up to several thousand for the premier versions (network sharing etc)...

Yes MYOB offer courses and many Tafe's do as well.  MYOB is the sort of package that once you've set it up correctly it is not hard to use (day to day functions).

However, again it depends on whether you are doing all your BAS submissions yourself, tax, super, wages etc, or have a book keeper come in once a week to do these functions for you (on your software)...

Its probably worth the time to speak to a consultant to see what is best for each individual and your business.  Just make sure to ask what your yearly ongoing fees are for the software and about updates etc....Again something that may seem cheap can add up quick...
