An AccountRight subscription includes the ability to store your company file online. It's safe, secure and only accessible to those who you give access to. Putting your company file online also lets you take advantage of AccountRight's online services, including Single Touch Payroll (STP). If you're not sure what working online is all about, let us show you.

If you don't have a company file yet, it's easy to create one and put it online.

After you upload your file, you can invite others (such as your staff or accountant) to work with you online—even via a web browser.

Having trouble uploading your file? See the FAQs below.

titleWhy am I getting the message 'Unable to upload'?

Why am I getting the message, "Unable to upload?"

Due to variations in internet connections, the "unable to upload" message can sometimes display even when the company file has actually uploaded successfully.

If you Cancel the message, you might find the file is online and can be accessed.

titleWhy am I getting the message 'The serial number doesn't match your account'?

Why am I getting the message, "The serial number doesn't match your account"?

If you're getting the message 'The serial number doesn't match your account' when uploading a company file, check the email address you're using to log into AccountRight Live. This should be the email address you used when you registered AccountRight.

If the issue persists, contact product support (click chat or scroll down for other options on the Contact Us page).

titleTroubleshooting file uploads

Troubleshooting file uploads

Check your email addressOnly an online owner or an online administrator can upload company files. When uploading, make sure you're signing in with the correct email address for your MYOB account. If you're no prompted to sign in when uploading your file, you're already signed in. Try signing out (in AccountRight go to the Services menu and choose Sign out from AccountRight Live). They try uploading your file again.
Check your internet speed

Uploading a company file relies on a reliable internet connection. Poor upload speeds (less than 0.5mbps) and intermittent dropouts caused by wireless and satellite internet connections can affect the upload process.

You can check your upload speed at speedtest.net

Check your security programsSome antivirus, firewall, or automatic backup software programs can also affect uploading. If you're having problems, try temporarily disabling these programs to see if they're causing the issue. If they are, refer to the software's documentation for more help, or speak to an IT professional.
