Hi and welcome to Discussions,

I am not familiar with the MYOB products, but I can see three versions for Mac http://myob.com.au/products/small-business/accounting-finance/accountedge-mac-12 58090694693?productArea=ProductComparison

Of course, I don't know how they compare to the mentioned Accounting v16

Regards

Stefan

VirtualBox from Oracle is free

A VM means you share resources like RAM and need to take that into account.
Fusion can use 1-2 cores, while VirtualBox only uses 1 core for VM.

It should run fine in a VM but if you install Windows natively first, you can then dual boot AND use Windows in a VM.

Takes a little bit of planning partition size and system needs.
