How it runs

A QuickBooks to MYOB migration, end to end

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

  1. Week 0

    Discovery & Mapping

    15-minute scoping call. We map your QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop file, the chart of accounts, classes, locations, and payroll history that must translate to MYOB jobs, categories, and payroll cycles 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 sandbox MYOB 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.

  3. Cutover

    Go-Live & Handover

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

QuickBooks → MYOB: 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
QuickBooks

Where your data lives today, in QuickBooks.

  • 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
MYOB

The same data, cleaned and validated, in MYOB — 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

QuickBooks to MYOB migration services, what is included

Every QuickBooks to MYOB migration is different, but here is what our QuickBooks to MYOB conversion services typically cover across finance, payroll, BAS reconciliation, and connected apps.

Chart of accounts mapping

Your chart of accounts in QuickBooks does not always map one-to-one to MYOB. We review the structure, consolidate where needed, and set up MYOB so reporting works the way your accountant expects.

Tax codes, tracking categories and account types are all mapped before any data moves.

Contact and customer migration

Every contact in QuickBooks — 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 MYOB starts clean.

Historical transaction migration

Invoices, bills, payments, credit notes and journal entries — migrated with dates, references and line-item detail preserved.

We validate that trial balances, aged receivables and BAS-relevant totals reconcile before go-live.

Bank feeds and reconciliation

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 MYOB with matching rules configured.

Payroll and leave migration

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.

Reporting continuity

Profit and loss, balance sheet, BAS, aged receivables and custom reports — we validate that MYOB produces the same numbers as QuickBooks for any given period.

If you need historical comparison reports, we configure those before go-live.

Pricing

How we price QuickBooks to MYOB migration services

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.

Migration audit call

Tell us what must survive in MYOB, 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

FAQs

Common questions about QuickBooks to MYOB migration and conversion

How much do your QuickBooks to MYOB migration services cost?

It depends on data volume, QuickBooks product (QBO or Desktop), entity count, payroll history, and connected apps. Every QuickBooks to MYOB 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 QuickBooks file.

How long does a QuickBooks to MYOB migration take?

About 2 to 6 weeks for most businesses. QBO Simple Start to MYOB Business sits at 2 to 3. Multi-entity QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise with inventory, job costing, and payroll history sits at 5 to 8.

Do you migrate QuickBooks Desktop as well as QuickBooks Online?

Yes. QBO (Simple Start, Essentials, Plus, Advanced), QuickBooks Desktop (Pro, Premier, Enterprise), QuickBooks Hosted, and legacy QuickBooks 2014-and-earlier files all move to MYOB. IIF, QBM, and QBW extracts are handled in-house.

Will we lose transaction history, BAS data, or payroll continuity in the switch?

No. Chart of accounts, classes, contacts, invoices, bills, bank transactions, payroll history, leave balances, and STP data all migrate. QuickBooks stays untouched as read-only until you sign off on MYOB.

Can our finance team keep working during the migration?

Yes. QuickBooks 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.

Do you clean up QuickBooks data before migrating?

Yes. Cleansing is included. Duplicate contacts merge, dead accounts archive, broken codes fix, and the chart of accounts can be restructured for MYOB job or category reporting before anything loads.

Do you handle MYOB add-ons and integrations after cutover?

Yes. ServiceM8, Simpro, Tradify, Shopify, Deputy, Employment Hero, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Power BI, and AI document processing for MYOB bills all get reconnected as part of the migration scope.

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 QuickBooks 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 QuickBooks to MYOB migration work is for Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane businesses. Remote delivery is standard.
