The chief executive of Reckon admits he has lost the "jewel in the crown" of the company by selling its accounting practice software unit to rival MYOB for $180 million.

The deal, if approved by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and the New Zealand Commerce Commission, will result in MYOB buying three Reckon product lines – Reckon APS, Reckon Elite and Reckon Docs. Accounting groups use these produces to run their practices.
