Every record. Every year. Every relationship.
Six categories of Reckon data we migrate cleanly into MYOB. Chart of accounts, open balances, full transaction history, payroll YTD, STP2 configuration and BAS history — all preserved.
-
Chart of Accounts
Your Reckon chart of accounts rebuilt inside MYOB's account-number-driven hierarchy — mapped with your accountant's input, not pasted from a generic template.
- COA structure mapping
- Account number alignment
- Multi-entity COA support
-
Customers & Suppliers
All contacts, payment terms, tax codes and account groups migrated with relationships intact. Reckon GST codes mapped cleanly to MYOB tax codes — no manual re-entry.
- Customer and supplier masters
- Tax code mapping
- Payment terms and groups
-
Open AR & AP
Open invoices and outstanding bills reconciled and brought across so MYOB opens with accurate aged debtors and creditors matching your Reckon figures on cutover day.
- Open invoice tie-out
- Outstanding bills reconciled
- AR and AP balance match
-
Payroll & STP2
Employee records, leave balances, super fund details and pay history migrated into MYOB. STP2 configured and tested before cutover — mid-year and 1 July options scoped at audit.
- Employee masters and super
- Leave and YTD balances

Historical Transactions
Full line-by-line history or summary trial balance — scoped at audit based on your reporting requirements. Pulled from QBB or QBW files, IIF or CSV export, then cleaned of duplicates before import.
- QBB / QBW file extraction
- IIF and CSV clean-up
- Multi-year comparison intact
A Reckon to MYOB migration, end to end
Three stages. Parallel-run before cutover. Reckon stays live until the figures match — delivered personally by the founder.
-
Week 0
Pre-cutover Audit
15-minute scoping call. We review your Reckon edition (One, Hosted, Desktop, APS), entities, payroll setup and the cutover date that fits your BAS cycle. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
-
Weeks 1–3
Data Extract, Build & Parallel-Run
We extract your Reckon data (QBB/QBW, IIF, CSV), build the MYOB file in a sandbox and parallel-run it against your live Reckon for at least one week. Same invoices, same payments — both reconcile, both totals match.
-
Cutover
Go-Live & Handover
Live cutover on a planned weekend away from BAS and end-of-month. Team walkthrough of MYOB. 30 days of post-launch support included. Reckon stays untouched until cutover is confirmed clean.
Before you book the scoping call
What Reckon editions can you migrate to MYOB?
All of them — Reckon One (cloud), Reckon Accounts Hosted, Reckon Accounts Desktop (including legacy Reckon-branded QuickBooks QBW/QBB files), and Reckon APS. Desktop and Hosted files require an extraction step before the MYOB build begins; we handle that as part of the project scope.
Will we lose any transaction history in the move?
No. Full historical migration is the default — customers, suppliers, invoices, bills, payments, journals and inventory history. The one variable is how far back we go on line-by-line transactions versus summary trial balance; that's a cost-vs-reporting question we scope at the audit. Your accountant keeps comparison data either way.
How do you handle payroll if we are mid-financial-year?
Mid-year payroll is the part of any Reckon-to-MYOB project that needs the most planning. The cleanest option is a 1 July cutover — employee YTD balances reset and STP2 starts fresh in MYOB. If a mid-year cutover is required we run both systems in parallel for one pay cycle with proper YTD bring-over so STP2 filings stay accurate. We scope both options with your bookkeeper at the audit.
What is STP2 and does MYOB handle it better than Reckon?
Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 is the ATO's current payroll reporting standard — disaggregated income types, multiple income streams, updated field requirements. MYOB Business and AccountRight both have full STP2 support. We configure and test STP2 as part of every payroll migration so your first pay run in MYOB reports correctly to the ATO.
Reckon Accounts Desktop is being wound down — does that affect the migration timeline?
It adds urgency but not complexity. Desktop files (QBW/QBB) are well-understood — we extract via IIF and CSV export, clean duplicates, and build the MYOB file from the cleaned data. The main consideration is not waiting until your Desktop install stops working; migrating from a live, supported install is cleaner than recovering from a broken one.
Which MYOB edition should we move to — Business, AccountRight, or Advanced?
We help scope this at the audit call. The short guide: MYOB Business suits smaller operations wanting a pure-cloud experience with basic inventory; AccountRight suits trades and businesses that need job costing, detailed inventory or their accountant's preferred desktop-plus-cloud setup; MYOB Advanced suits multi-entity or high-transaction businesses. We will not push you to a more expensive edition than you need.
What if something goes wrong mid-migration?
Reckon stays as your live system throughout the entire project. The parallel-run phase means both systems are reconciling the same transactions for at least a week before cutover. If anything does not line up we stop, fix it in the MYOB sandbox and re-test before proceeding. There is no blind cutover and no rollback needed — Reckon is still live until the figures match.
What if we are not sure MYOB is the right destination — what about Xero?
That is a fair question and the scoping call is the right place to ask it. If your accountant or bookkeeper is Xero-native and that is the main driver, we run Reckon-to-Xero migrations too. If it genuinely could go either way, we will walk through the practical differences for your business. We do not push MYOB if Xero is the better fit.
