Why link online files?

There are lots of benefits to linking your clients in MYOB Practice to their MYOB Essentials or online AccountRight files.

One benefit is that you can see who owns each file that's listed on the Transaction processing page, and quickly contact them if you need to.

Another benefit is that some of their activity statement information (Australia) can be automatically filled for you, based on information in their MYOB Essentials business or AccountRight company file.

Over time, we'll be adding more features that will save you time when working in MYOB Practice.
