If you migrate or create an MYOB ledger, we recommend that you take a look at your Chart of Accounts.
Check that you have all the accounts you need to get started and that each account has the correct tax code. There's no need to worry if you don't know exactly what accounts you need to create this year. You can add them in later. The most important thing is that you have set up your System and Share of Profit accounts.
To view your chart of accounts
On the TASKS bar, click the Manage Accounts button. The Manage Accounts window appears. In this window you can add, edit or delete accounts.

Created a new MYOB ledger | The ledger template selected contains a default set of accounts to help you get started. |
To make the reporting process easier at the end of the year, we recommend the following setup:
