MYOB is the accounting and payroll software built for Australian and New Zealand businesses — BAS, GST, STP payroll and ATO compliance handled natively.
MYOB is the long-running ANZ accounting brand. It now sells two cloud products — MYOB Business (sole traders to small companies) and MYOB Acumatica (mid-market ERP). The Business product competes head-on with Xero and QuickBooks Online for ANZ small businesses, with native Single Touch Payroll, Australian Taxation Office reporting, and BAS lodgement.
You set up a chart of accounts, connect your bank feed, and start invoicing. Bank reconciliation uses rules and AI suggestions in a similar way to Xero. Payroll is included in higher tiers (not a separate add-on like Xero), with STP Phase 2 reporting straight to the ATO. BAS and IAS lodgement is built in. Inventory is more capable than Xero's native module — multiple price levels, units of measure, and locations.
Australian pricing as of 2026 (introductory rates that step up after the promo period): Lite A$15/month, Pro A$30/month, AccountRight Plus A$70/month, AccountRight Premier A$95/month. Standard rates are roughly double the introductory price after the first six months.
Payroll is included on Pro and above. AccountRight tiers add desktop functionality and multi-currency. Watch the renewal step-up — it catches a lot of businesses out.
| Software | Starting price (AU) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| MYOB Business | A$15/mo intro | ANZ small businesses with payroll |
| Xero | A$35/mo | Modern UI, accountant network |
| QuickBooks Online AU | A$25/mo | Cost-conscious Aussie SMEs |
| Reckon One | A$12/mo | Cheapest ANZ option |
Pick MYOB if you are an ANZ small business that wants payroll bundled, you carry inventory, or your accountant strongly prefers it. Skip it if you are outside ANZ, you want the cleanest UI (Xero still wins there), or your business is service-only and you want to minimise spend.
Early-stage founders running sole trader or small partnership structures use MYOB to invoice clients, track expenses, and prepare tax documents quarterly. ATO integration means less back-and-forth with accountants, cutting professional fees by 30-50%. Payroll integration handles contractor payments and superannuation automatically.
Finance leads at 10-50 person teams use MYOB to enforce expense policies, reconcile accounts daily, and generate audit-ready reports. Bank feeds and ATO sync reduce month-end close time from 5 days to 2. Multi-user access with role-based permissions keeps junior staff from modifying locked records.
Bookkeepers managing 15-30 small clients use MYOB's multi-company workspace to switch between client books without re-logging in. ATO integration and tax tracking templates reduce per-client setup time. Bulk payroll processing and automated reminders for compliance deadlines cut admin overhead.
