Real benefits, by solving real Xero-to-MYOB migration headaches.
- Deeper ReportingXero falls short on multi-entity consolidation and job costing
- Inventory DepthComplex manufacturing or wholesale costing outgrows Xero core
- Clean CutoverApp-stack and bank-feed reconnection derails DIY migrations
- STP2 PayrollYTD balances and STP filings broken by an unplanned cutover date
- One SystemXero plus six add-ons costing more than MYOB Advanced alone
Every record. Every year. Every integration.
Six categories of Xero data we migrate cleanly to MYOB. Open balances, full history, payroll YTD, GST codes, bank feeds and app integrations — all handled.
-
Chart of Accounts
Xero's flat account structure rebuilt in MYOB's account-number-driven hierarchy, with your accountant's input — not a generic template. Tracking categories mapped to MYOB job and category codes.
- Full COA rebuild with account numbers
- Xero tracking categories mapped
- Multi-entity account alignment
-
Contacts & GST Codes
Every customer and supplier migrated with correct MYOB tax codes, payment terms, account groups and contact history. Xero tax rates translated to MYOB's GST code system.
- Customers · suppliers · employees
- GST code translation
- Payment terms and account groups
-
Open AR & AP
Open invoices, open bills and outstanding balances reconciled against a trial balance tie-out before cutover. Historical invoices and attachments preserved with multi-year visibility.
- Open AR and open AP
- Trial balance tie-out
- Attachments and audit trail
-
Inventory & Items
Items, stock levels, cost methods and pricing migrated cleanly into MYOB. Manufacturing BOMs and assemblies scoped separately. Cin7 or MYOB Advanced inventory upgrade path available.

Payroll & STP2
Employees, leave balances, super, pay history and STP Phase 2 setup in MYOB — with mid-financial-year YTD bring-over handled cleanly so ATO filings stay accurate.
- Employees · leave · super
- YTD pay history carry-over
- STP Phase 2 compliant setup
-
Bank Feeds & App Stack
Xero bank feeds closed cleanly; MYOB bank feeds established and bank rules recreated. App integrations (Shopify, Stripe, Deputy, Cin7) reconnected via MYOB connectors or replaced with MYOB-native modules.

- App stack reconnected or replaced
A Xero to MYOB migration, end to end
Three stages. Parallel-run before cutover. Xero stays untouched until the figures match — delivered personally by the founder.
-
Week 0
Pre-cutover Audit
15-minute scoping call. We review your Xero setup (entities, payroll, app stack, report suite) and the MYOB edition that fits your business — AccountRight, Business, or Advanced. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
-
Weeks 1-3
Sandbox Migration & Parallel-Run
We build the MYOB file in a sandbox and parallel-run it against your live Xero for at least a week. Same invoices, same payments, same balances — both systems reconcile before anything goes live.
-
Weeks 3-5
Cutover & Handover
Live cutover on a planned weekend avoiding BAS and end-of-month. App integrations reconnected, bank feeds live, STP2 confirmed. 30 days of post-launch support included. Xero stays untouched until cutover confirms.
Before you book the scoping call
Why would a business move from Xero to MYOB?
The most common triggers are: growing complexity that Xero cannot handle (multi-entity consolidation, advanced job costing, project accounting), manufacturing or wholesale distribution needing MYOB's inventory and costing depth, a business acquisition where the parent group standardises on MYOB, or an advisor switch to a MYOB-native accounting firm. We assess each situation honestly — if Xero is genuinely the better fit, we will say so.
Which MYOB edition should we migrate to?
MYOB AccountRight suits most SMBs needing desktop-plus-cloud access with strong inventory and job costing. MYOB Business (online) suits service businesses wanting a Xero-like cloud experience with more reporting depth. MYOB Advanced is the ERP-tier product for multi-entity, multi-site or high-volume manufacturers. The scoping call determines which edition fits your business before any data moves.
Will we lose our Xero history when we move to MYOB?
No. Full historical migration is standard — contacts, invoices, bills, payments, journals, attachments and audit trail. We scope both full line-by-line history and summary trial balance depending on your data volume, and your accountant keeps comparison data for prior years. Report formats that are Xero-specific get rebuilt in MYOB or Power BI.
How does payroll work if we are mid-financial-year?
Mid-year payroll cutover is the most sensitive part of a Xero-to-MYOB migration. We plan the cutover date first — start-of-quarter or start-of-financial-year is cleanest. If a mid-year cutover is unavoidable, we run both payroll systems in parallel for a short period with a proper YTD bring-over so STP Phase 2 filings remain accurate and no employee records are lost.
What happens to our Xero app stack — Shopify, Stripe, Deputy, Cin7?
Each integration is assessed individually. Some reconnect via MYOB's own API or third-party connectors (Shopify, Stripe, Deputy, Cin7 all have MYOB-compatible connectors). Some are replaced by MYOB-native modules — particularly if you are moving to MYOB Advanced. Xero bank rules are recreated in MYOB and bank feeds re-established before cutover.
How do you handle multi-entity Xero organisations?
Each Xero organisation maps to its own MYOB company file (AccountRight or Advanced). We model the intercompany relationships at the start so consolidated reporting still works after cutover. MYOB Advanced consolidation is native; AccountRight multi-entity requires a reporting layer such as Power BI. A few extra days on the timeline for multi-entity setups.
What if something goes wrong mid-migration?
Xero stays as your live system throughout the entire migration. Parallel-run means both systems are reconciling the same transactions for at least a week before cutover. If figures do not line up, we stop the cutover and fix it in the sandbox — Xero is still live, no rollback needed. Blind cutover risk is zero by design.
Can you also do the reverse — MYOB to Xero migration?
Yes. MYOB to Xero is actually the more common direction and we run those regularly. The same project structure applies in reverse — pre-cutover audit, sandbox build, parallel-run, cutover. See our MYOB to Xero migration page for that flow.
