If you’re using accounting software for the first time, here’s some good news—you don’t need to manually enter every payment you make and receive. You can choose to receive information about your bank transactions (known as a bank feed) directly into your AccountRight software. And your company file doesn’t even need to be in the cloud.

It makes it easy to reconcile the statements you receive from your bank with what’s recorded in your company file.

If you’re subscribed to AccountRight and want to receive bank feeds, see Set up bank feeds. Or, to learn more about how bank feeds work, see How bank feeds can work for you.

MYOB OnTheGo is a mobile app that lets you manage your accounts and cash flow on the go. You can invoice and manage your contacts, see who owes you money, and record payments too. And everything you do is immediately synced with your AccountRight company file.

If your company file is online and you have a compatible Android or iOS device, you’re ready to go—all you need to do is download and install the MYOB OnTheGo app:

Or, get the app store link texted to you directly (Australia only). For more information, see myob.com/onthego.

Not available in AccountRight Basics

When suppliers email you their invoices, store them securely online and link them to your AccountRight bills using the In Tray. Once they’re in, AccountRight will use advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to identify key information in each document, speeding up transaction entry by filling in what it can for you.

And if you’re a bookkeeper or accountant, the source documents you need to review for each bill transaction are now just a click away. You no longer need to chase up clients to get copies of their supplier invoices for verification, and it’s easier to check that all their tax allocations are correct (making BAS and GST returns easier to prepare).

You have the option of conveniently and securely storing your company data online.

By working online you can:

• Get access anywhere: You can have multiple users work on your accounts from multiple locations, at the same time. Your staff can enter sales out front, while you look up a client’s details, and your bookkeeper across town reconciles your bank accounts.
• Work how you want to: If you won’t have access to the internet for a while, you can opt to work offline with your file and synchronise your changes later. So if you’re about to get on a plane, or your internet connection isn’t behaving, you can go offline and keep working.
• Work with others: You control who has access to your data online and for how long. For example, you can give short-term access to your accountant. There’s no limit to the number of users who can work on your online company file at any time.
