In the Export section of the Import/Export page, you can create a file of your business’s transactions and account balances, which your accounting advisor can then import into compatible MYOB software. Check with your accounting advisor about which export format they prefer.

Invite your accounting advisor

Inviting your accounting advisor to access your MYOB Essentials business means you'll no longer need to send them anything. See Invite your accountant .

  FAQs


Can I export anything else from MYOB Essentials?

Can I export anything else from MYOB Essentials?

You can only export data for your accountant which can be imported into compatible MYOB software. You can also export your Balance Sheet to Excel.

If you need to export anything else, such as your items or contacts, run the Items or Contacts reports (Reports > All reports > Items or Reports > All reports > Contacts ) to list your items or contacts in a PDF file.

The same approach can be used for other information you want to capture from MYOB Essentials, including transaction data. Learn about the reports available in MYOB Essentials.

Depending on what you need to do with the information in a PDF report, you might want to use a PDF converter program to convert the PDF file into whatever file format you require (CSV, Excel, text, etc.). A quick internet search will identify several free and paid PDF conversion programs.
