It’s easy to set up an MYOB Essentials business. You just need to know a few client details (like their business name and phone number), and how many employees they have (this will help you choose the right product).
You’ll also need to consider who is paying — is it you or your client?
How to
- Click the Create a business button on the Online businesses page of your Accounting dashboard.
Pick an Essentials product for your client, as follows. (Don't worry you can add more employees later!)
| If your client has... | Select... |
|---|
| two or more employees | select Essentials: Accounting + Payroll. |
| fewer than two employees (or you're not sure) | select Essentials Accounting. |
| fewer than two employees, doing a small number of transactions | select Essentials Accounting Starter. |
| fewer than two employees, and a small number of clients and transactions | select Essentials Connected Ledger. |
if you're in New Zealand, you'll also have the option to select a 'payroll only' product, Essentials Payroll, to pay your employee(s) and track payroll.
- Select your payment method. Will your client pay directly or is your practice billing them?
Click Continue.
Enter the details of the business owner. If you're billing your client, enter your business details.
Click Create business. The business now appears in your list of online businesses. Can't see it? Give it a moment or two and it'll appear. You'll also notice a new tab (or window) in your browser. Here you can finish setting up the business by select the accounts list and entering opening balances.
