From a web browser

You can access your online company file on any device that can run a web browser, like a smartphone, tablet or Mac.

Go to app.myob.com and log in with your MYOB details. If you haven’t signed into your MYOB account yet, you will need to enter your account's email address and password (the same details you use to sign into the My Account), and then click Sign In.

After entering your email address and password, you might also be prompted to enter a verification code. This is part of two-factor authentication to protect your online data.

Different look, same data

When you access an AccountRight company file in a browser, you'll notice that some things are familiar and others are a little different.

The first thing you'll notice is the dashboard. This provides you with a simple, easy-to-read snapshot of how your business is going.

Across the top of the screen there are various menus corresponding to the command centres in AccountRight.

Even though some things are different, you're working on exactly the same information that's in your AccountRight software. You can switch between the browser and your software and your information is kept up to date.

Take the time to click menus and view pages and explore the various functions to see what's familiar and what's different.

Note that some features are still on the way.

titleIf I use AccountRight in a browser, can I also use my AccountRight software?

If I use AccountRight in a browser, can I also use my AccountRight software?

Yes. You can decide which way is the best for you to work – in a browser or in your software or both. As company file data is stored in the cloud, AccountRight accesses and updates the same data whether from the browser or your installed software.

This information is synchronised immediately, so if you make a changes in the browser (for example, adding an invoice), then you would see that change in your AccountRight software (and vice versa).

Note that some windows in your AccountRight software need to be manually refreshed by clicking the refresh icon .
