Anything else you want to tell us about the help?

Working from home is easy if you work online. All your business information is in the cloud, it's current, secure, and accessible from anywhere.

If you're using your work computer at home, and you're connected to the internet, there's not much else you need to do. It'll be like you're still in the office.

If you're using a different computer at home, here's what you need to know:

  • Using MYOB Essentials? You can already work anywhere on any computer connected to the internet. You can sign in to MYOB Essentials here:  Australia  |  New Zealand.
  • Using AccountRight? Make sure your company file is online. If it isn't, it's easy to get it there. See Put your company file online for details. Once your file's in the cloud you're ready to set up AccountRight at home.

Setting up AccountRight at home

Before you start, check that the computer you're going to use meets the system requirements for running AccountRight.

  1. Get the latest AccountRight installer, download it here.
  2. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the prompts to install AccountRight.

  3. If you use personalised letters, or have customised Microsoft Excel templates, you'll need to copy these files from your work computer to your home computer. Note that all other files, such as customised invoices and payslips are stored in your online company file and don't need to be copied.

  4. If any of your staff need access, invite them to the company file.

Once AccountRight is installed, you'll be able to open any online company files you have access to. See Work on an online company file for more information.
