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 actually comes across

A MYOB conversion is not one file. It is everything the business has done so far.

Moving the balances is the easy part. The work is the history: the invoices still open, the codes that do not exist in Microsoft Business Central, the attachments nobody wants to lose, and the customer records that have drifted over years. All of it has to arrive reconciled, not approximately.

What has to move

  • MYOB data
  • Customers and suppliers
  • Open invoices and bills
  • Transaction history
  • Chart of accounts
What we do

One verified conversion

Codes mapped to their Microsoft Business Central equivalents, records deduplicated on rules you approve, then both systems run side by side until the balances agree. Cutover happens on a window you choose.

See how a conversion runs

What you get

  • Opening balances that reconcile on day one, not after adjustment
  • History you can still search, not a PDF archive nobody opens
  • A Microsoft Business Central file your accountant will accept at year end
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.

Case Study

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.

6wks From kick-off to go-live

We had been putting off the switch for over a year. They made it painless, scoped it clearly, migrated everything, and our team was up and running in Microsoft Business Central within weeks. The data was cleaner than it had been in years.

Our Process

How the MYOB to Business Central migration runs, step by step

A structured process so you know what is happening at each stage. No ambiguity, no surprises.

  1. Assess your MYOB data

    We audit data quality, volume, complexity and connected integrations. You get a clear scope and a fixed price before anything starts.

  2. Cleanse and prepare

    Duplicates merged, dead records removed, formats standardised. Your data is cleaned in MYOB before anything moves.

  3. Configure Microsoft Business Central

    Microsoft Business Central is set up to match your business, accounts, custom fields, user roles, tax settings. No generic template.

  4. Migrate data

    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. Validated against the source at every step.

  5. Test and validate

    Balances checked. Reports compared. Edge cases tested. Your team reviews the data in Microsoft Business Central before we go anywhere near production.

  6. Go live and support

    We cut over at the right moment and stay close for the first month. MYOB stays accessible as a reference until you are confident.

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.

Which system should we move to after MYOB?

Where people go after MYOB varies, and we scope the move to whichever system you have chosen: Xero, MYOB AccountRight, MYOB Business, MYOB Acumatica, QuickBooks Online, Reckon, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage 50, Sage 300, Sage Intacct, Odoo, Zoho Books, FreshBooks, Saasu, SAP Business One, Oracle and Workday. If the one you have picked is a poor fit for how you actually work, we will say so before you have paid for a conversion into it.

What actually decides how long a migration takes?

The parts that decide the timeline are the same wherever you land: the chart of accounts, the general ledger, the customer and supplier master, open purchase orders and sales orders, opening balances and payroll history, and how much history you export out of the old system and import into the new one, rather than leave behind in a readable archive. Hosted files, local files and vendor exports each come out differently.

What if MYOB is end of life or out of support?

If you are looking because MYOB is too old, out of support or reaching end of life, that is a question of timing rather than whether. It is worth comparing the alternatives and moving away on your own schedule rather than on the one the vendor picks for you.
