MYOB to Xero migration services for Australian businesses that need transaction history, payroll continuity, and BAS reconciliation to survive the move. Fixed-price MYOB to Xero conversion services, delivered end to end, validated against your MYOB ledger.
Built here. Your data stays here.
Three stages. No surprises. Your live MYOB data stays untouched until cutover, delivered personally by the founder.
Week 0
15-minute scoping call. We map your MYOB chart of accounts, tracking categories, and payroll history that must survive the move to Xero, plus the ServiceM8, Simpro, or eCommerce integrations that need reconnecting and the cleanup decisions to make on the way. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
Weeks 1–N
Full migration run in a sandbox Xero org 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.
Cutover
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.
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.
Where your data lives today, in MYOB.
The same data, cleaned and validated, in Xero, ready for day one.
What actually comes across
Moving the balances is the easy part. The work is the history: the invoices still open, the codes that do not exist in Xero, 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
Codes mapped to their Xero 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 runsWhat you get
Every MYOB to Xero migration is different, but here is what our MYOB to Xero conversion services typically cover across finance, payroll, BAS reconciliation, and connected apps.
Your chart of accounts in MYOB does not always map one-to-one to Xero. We review the structure, consolidate where needed, and set up Xero so reporting works the way your accountant expects.
Tax codes, tracking categories and account types are all mapped before any data moves.
Every contact in MYOB (customers, suppliers, employees) gets migrated with ABNs, payment terms, email addresses and account codes intact.
Duplicates are merged. Stale records are flagged. The contact list in Xero starts clean.
Invoices, bills, payments, credit notes and journal entries all migrate with dates, references and line-item detail preserved.
We validate that trial balances, aged receivables and BAS-relevant totals reconcile before go-live.
Bank transactions and reconciliation status are migrated so your team does not have to re-reconcile months of history.
Bank feed connections are re-established in Xero with matching rules configured.
Pay rates, leave balances, super fund details, tax declarations and year-to-date figures are all migrated and validated.
We time the cut with your payroll cycle so nothing gets disrupted mid-period. STP reporting continuity is preserved.
Profit and loss, balance sheet, BAS, aged receivables and custom reports. We validate that Xero produces the same numbers as MYOB for any given period.
If you need historical comparison reports, we configure those before go-live.
Price moves with entity count, chart cleanup, payroll history, custom tax rules, connected apps, and how tight the cutover window is. Here is how we scope it.
Tell us what must survive in Xero, what workflows or reports cannot break, and whether the move fits one fixed-price migration or needs phased delivery.
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.
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.
Why HELLO PEOPLE

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.
Read the full case studyWe 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 Xero within weeks. The data was cleaner than it had been in years.
A structured process so you know what is happening at each stage. No ambiguity, no surprises.
We audit data quality, volume, complexity and connected integrations. You get a clear scope and a fixed price before anything starts.
Duplicates merged, dead records removed, formats standardised. Your data is cleaned in MYOB before anything moves.
Xero is set up to match your business. Accounts, custom fields, user roles, tax settings. No generic template.
Chart of accounts, contacts, invoices, bills, bank transactions, payroll history, leave balances, super fund details and opening balances. All extracted, transformed and loaded into Xero. Validated against the source at every step.
Balances checked. Reports compared. Edge cases tested. Your team reviews the data in Xero before we go anywhere near production.
We cut over at the right moment and stay close for the first month. MYOB stays accessible as a reference until you are confident.
It depends on data volume, entity count, payroll history, chart of accounts cleanup, and connected apps. Every MYOB to Xero 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, Business, or Exo setup.
Yes. Our MYOB to Xero migration services cover the full move end to end: scoping, data cleansing, chart of accounts mapping, migration, BAS reconciliation, payroll continuity, cutover, and 30 days post-launch support. Not an advisory session. We do the work and validate the results against your MYOB data before sign-off.
About 2 to 6 weeks for most businesses. Sole-trader MYOB Business to Xero sits at 2 to 3. Multi-entity AccountRight or Exo with payroll history and integration rebuilds sits at 5 to 8.
No. Chart of accounts, contacts, invoices, bills, bank transactions, payroll history, leave balances, super fund details, and STP data all migrate. MYOB stays untouched as read-only until you sign off on Xero.
Yes. MYOB stays live right up to cutover. We time the cut to end-of-month or a payroll cycle boundary, then parallel-run for a validation window before the final switch.
Yes. Cleansing is included. Duplicate contacts merge, dead accounts archive, broken codes fix, and the chart of accounts can be restructured for Xero tracking-category reporting before anything loads.
Yes. ServiceM8, Simpro, Tradify, Shopify, Deputy, Employment Hero, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Power BI, and AI document processing for Xero bills all get reconnected as part of the migration scope.
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.
No. We are Perth-based but deliver Australia-wide. Roughly half our MYOB to Xero migration work is for Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane businesses. Remote delivery is standard.
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.
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.
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.
