What it is

EZIaccounts is a web-based intranet/internet multi-user accounting and bookkeeping package from Australia, aimed at everyone from individuals and basic small businesses through to manufacturers. It emphasizes “24/7 online access” and modular functionality: it can handle basic invoicing, accounts receivable/payable, and general ledger work, while also extending into payroll, POS, inventory, automatic ordering, BAS submission, product modeling, cutting lists, BOMs, and other manufacturing-related workflows.

Core capabilities

Based on the product description, EZIaccounts’ main idea is to bring accounting, sales, inventory, and manufacturing into one system, reducing duplicate data entry. Wholesale order links allow wholesale customers to log in, view up-to-date prices, and submit orders. A customer portal lets customers with outstanding balances self-serve by accessing, downloading, and printing historical invoices. The POS module supports sales recording via sales codes, barcode scanning, search, or interface overlays. Accountants and bookkeepers can also brand the software as part of their own service offering.

Deployment, collaboration, and permissions

This is not a purely modern cloud SaaS product. Instead, it can be installed on a server capable of running Win32 applications, using either your own machine or a Win32 hosting service to provide external access. The stated system requirements mention PWS/IIS and Abyss Web Server, and recommend Internet Explorer 6, which suggests an older technology stack. For collaboration, field staff can remotely generate quotes using a username and password. Permissions can be restricted via a master password or staff accounts across areas such as documents, sales codes, components, reports, accounts receivable/payable, general ledger, ordering, payroll, and maintenance.

Pricing

The pricing tiers are straightforward: Personal is AUD 22 including tax, Business Basic is AUD 110, Silver is AUD 220, Gold is AUD 440, Platinum is AUD 660, and Platinum Plus is AUD 1100. The accountant version is priced by quotation, while schools and teaching institutions can use it for free. The main text does not state a free trial period for business users, only a demo entry point.

Pros, cons, and who it is for

Its strengths are the low entry price and broad module coverage. It is especially suitable for integrated scenarios such as small-scale manufacturing, retail POS, wholesale ordering, and customer self-service invoice lookup. It may also fit accountants looking for white-label options and educational institutions. The downsides are equally clear: there is no visible information on APIs, modern third-party integrations, security compliance, backups, or auditing; MYOB/Quicken data cannot yet be imported; and the deployment and browser requirements are dated, so usability and long-term maintainability should be assessed carefully.

Access from China

The source text does not specify access from mainland China, network stability, or supported payment methods, so these remain unknown. If deploying it for a China-facing business, you should specifically verify access speed, AUD payment options, tax localization, and Chinese-language support. Comparable products include Xero, QuickBooks Online, MYOB, and Zoho Books; Chinese alternatives include Kingdee Cloud, Yonyou Chanjet, and Guanjiapo.
