The 20-Year Itch: Is Accounting Software Due for a Shake Up?

Season 6 Episode 46 Published 7 hours ago
Description

The accounting software market has a memory, and it runs about 20 years long. Amy and Will unpack the 20 year itch theory: incumbents get comfy, frustration quietly builds, then a shiny new general ledger rocks up looking like the holy grail. MYOB's server era had its moment. Xero and the cloud rush had theirs. So are we standing at that turning point again, or just having a whinge?

They get candid about what is shifting the mood, from pricing pressure to the value exchange for firms and clients, and a few home truths nobody loves saying out loud. Then the real question: where does the day to day friction actually live? Practice management, work papers, too many apps, too many logins, and all the hours quietly disappearing into the gaps between them.

They wrap with a bet on disruption and some plain advice for the incumbents. Incubate the cannibal, move fast, and do not assume the next 20 years will look anything like the last.
