Anything else you want to tell us about the help?
If you own more than one business, you can manage them using just one MYOB Essentials user name. This means you can switch to working with a different one whenever you're logged in.
Each MYOB Essentials business needs its own subscription, and other users can be added to each business. What's the cost of a subscription?
To switch from one business to another
If you have more than one MYOB Essentials business, every time you log in to MYOB Essentials the My businesses page will appear first so you can choose which business you want to work with in this session.
You can also switch businesses at any time as follows:
- Click Switch businesses at the top of any MYOB Essentials page.
A list of your MYOB Essentials businesses appears. - Click the name of the business that you want to work with in MYOB Essentials. The Dashboard appears, displaying details for the selected business.
Starting a new business file
Each business file needs its own subscription, and you can create a new or additional file by starting a new trial via our website (Australia | New Zealand).
To continue using the new file after the trial period, you'll need to subscribe for that new business.
If you're an MYOB Partner, you can create an MYOB Business file for a client via transaction processing.
