How it runs

A MYOB to Business Central migration, end to end

Three stages. No surprises. Your live MYOB data stays untouched until cutover — delivered personally by the founder.

  1. Week 0

    Discovery & Mapping

    15-minute scoping call. We map your MYOB setup, the chart-of-accounts, posting groups and operational data that needs to translate to Business Central, and the cleanup decisions to make on the way. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.

  2. Weeks 1–N

    Sandbox Migration & Parallel-Run

    Full migration run in a Business Central sandbox environment first. Both systems then run in parallel for two weeks — every transaction, contact, balance and report cross-checked against the source. No risk to live operations.

  3. Cutover

    Go-Live & Handover

    Production cutover on a planned window — typically a weekend. Team training, monitoring active, 30 days post-launch support. MYOB safely retired with full history preserved.

MYOB → Microsoft Business Central: what actually moves

Every migration project starts from a set of concrete data on the source platform and ends with the same data — cleaned and validated — on the target. Here is the shape of that move.

Today
MYOB

Where your data lives today, in MYOB.

  • Chart of accounts, tax codes and tracking dimensions
  • Contacts, customers and suppliers (with duplicates)
  • Historical transactions, invoices, bills and reconciliations
  • Payroll data, leave balances and STP history
  • Connected integrations (CRM, ecom, payroll, ops)
  • Custom reports and dashboards that finance depends on
After migration
Microsoft Business Central

The same data, cleaned and validated, in Microsoft Business Central — ready for day one.

  • Chart of accounts restructured to fit reporting needs
  • Deduplicated contacts, ready to use
  • Full transaction history with references intact
  • Payroll continuity through cutover, STP unbroken
  • Integrations reconnected, working from day one
  • Reports rebuilt to match — same numbers, same periods
What We Migrate

MYOB to Business Central migration services, what is included

Every MYOB to Business Central migration is different, but here is what our MYOB to Dynamics 365 Business Central migration typically covers across finance, jobs, inventory, and connected apps.

Full data extraction and migration

Everything in MYOB — chart of accounts, contacts, invoices, bills, inventory, purchase orders, historical transactions, reporting structures and multi-entity data — extracted, transformed and loaded into Microsoft Business Central.

We validate counts, balances and data integrity at every step. Nothing gets silently dropped.

Microsoft Business Central configuration and setup

We configure Microsoft Business Central to match your business structure — entities, departments, cost centres, approval workflows, user roles and security.

Not a vanilla install. A system configured to how you actually operate.

Integration rebuild

Any integrations you had with MYOB — CRM, eCommerce, payroll, job management — need rebuilding on Microsoft Business Central. We handle those too.

The goal is that the day you go live on Microsoft Business Central, everything your team uses is connected.

Team training and change management

Moving to an ERP is a bigger change than swapping accounting software. We train each department on their specific workflows in Microsoft Business Central.

Onboarding documentation, quick-reference guides and a support channel for the first month.

Parallel running and cutover

We run both systems in parallel for an agreed period. Your team validates the data, tests workflows, and builds confidence before the final switch.

There is always a rollback plan. Nobody gets forced off the old system until the new one is proven.

Pricing

How we price MYOB to Business Central migration services

Price moves with modules in scope, custom fields, approvals, inventory depth, multi-entity structure, connected systems, and cutover complexity. Here is how we scope it.

Migration audit call

Tell us what must survive in Business Central, what workflows or reports cannot break, and whether the move fits one fixed-price migration or needs phased delivery.

Fixed-price migration scope

Once data scope, workflow rebuilds, connected systems, and cutover risk are clear, you get fixed-price scope covering cleansing, migration, validation, and go-live. No open-ended estimates.

Phase history and integrations separately

If the move includes heavy history, connected systems, or adjacent rebuild work, we can split it into core migration first, then history, then integrations. Each phase has its own price and sign-off.

Multi-entity accounting migration that finished ahead of BAS deadline

A Perth-based services group with 60+ staff moved off their legacy accounting stack to a modern cloud platform, taking multiple entities across in one coordinated cut. Chart of accounts consolidated, payroll continuity preserved through cutover, and BAS lodgement continued on time.

FAQs

Common questions about MYOB to Business Central migration and conversion

How much do your MYOB to Business Central migration services cost?

It depends on modules in scope, multi-entity structure, custom AL work, and connected apps. Every MYOB to Business Central migration is scoped up front and quoted at a fixed price before work starts. No hourly billing. Book a scoping call and we will size it against your MYOB AccountRight or MYOB Exo setup.

How long does a MYOB to Dynamics 365 Business Central migration take?

About 2 to 4 months for most projects. Single-company MYOB AccountRight to BC Essentials sits at the shorter end. Multi-entity MYOB Exo to BC Premium with jobs, manufacturing, and Power BI dashboards sits at 4 to 6.

Will we lose finance history or reporting continuity in the switch?

No. Chart of accounts, contacts, invoices, bills, inventory, purchase orders, and historical transactions all migrate into Business Central. MYOB stays untouched as read-only until you sign off on BC.

Can our finance team keep working during the migration?

Yes. MYOB stays live right up to cutover. We run BC in a sandbox for validation, then parallel-run for two weeks before the production cut on a planned weekend.

Do you clean up the MYOB data before migrating?

Yes. Cleansing is included. Duplicate contacts merge, dead accounts archive, tracking category structure gets rationalised, and the chart of accounts can be restructured to fit BC posting groups before anything loads.

Do you handle the Dynamics 365 side of the integration?

Yes. BC + Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Dataverse, and Power Automate flows are all in scope. AL extensions cover custom posting logic, approvals, and industry-specific rules.

Do you connect Power BI to Business Central after the migration?

Yes. Power BI on BC live financial dashboards, multi-entity consolidation reports, job profitability, and stock turn reporting are standard adds on top of a Business Central cutover.

Is our finance data secure during the migration?

Yes. An Australian team handles the migration on encrypted connections. Credentials are never stored in plain text and the MYOB source data stays read-only through the whole project.

Do you only work with Perth businesses?

No. We are Perth-based but deliver Australia-wide. Roughly half our MYOB to Business Central migration work is for Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane groups. Remote delivery is standard.
