Xero to MYOB Data Migration
Switching from Xero to MYOB is a big decision, and the migration is usually the part businesses dread most. What about the historical data? What about payroll? What about the integrations?
We handle the lot. Chart of accounts, contacts, invoices, bills, bank transactions, payroll history, leave balances, super fund details and opening balances — extracted from Xero, cleaned, transformed, and loaded into MYOB. Validated at every step.
HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth-based software consultancy. We deliver fixed-price migrations for businesses across Australia — Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and everywhere in between.
Why businesses delay this migration
These are the fears we hear every week. All of them are solvable with proper scoping and a structured migration process.
Scared of losing data
The biggest fear. Years of contacts, invoices, history, payroll records — what if something goes missing? That fear is why businesses stay on the wrong platform for years.
Downtime during the switch
Your team needs to keep working. Nobody can afford a week where the system is offline and invoices cannot go out or staff cannot be rostered.
Messy data in the old system
Duplicates, outdated contacts, broken formatting — if you bring that mess into the new system, you have just migrated the problem.
Reporting continuity
Your accountant, auditor or management team needs historical reports to still make sense after the move. Broken reporting is a deal-breaker.
Connected systems break
Integrations with other platforms — CRM, payroll, eCommerce — need to work with the new system from day one. Not after a few weeks of scrambling.
Cost blowouts
The migration was quoted at one price but kept growing. Scope creep, unexpected complexity, hidden charges — the project ends up costing double what was promised.

Xero to MYOB migration — what is included
Every migration is different, but here is what we typically cover for a Xero to MYOB conversion.
Chart of accounts mapping
Your chart of accounts in Xero 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 Xero — 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 Xero for any given period.
If you need historical comparison reports, we configure those before go-live.

Common questions about Xero to MYOB migration
How much does a Xero to MYOB migration cost?
Every migration is different — data volume, complexity, connected integrations and the platforms involved all affect the scope. We assess your specific Xero setup, map out exactly what needs to happen, and give you a fixed price before any work starts. No hourly billing, no open-ended estimates. Book a free no-obligation scoping call and we will give you a clear number.
How long does the migration take?
A typical Xero to MYOB migration takes 2 – 4 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline during scoping — not a best-case estimate.
Will we lose any data during the switch?
No. We extract everything from Xero, validate counts and balances at each step, and keep your source system untouched until you are confident the migration is complete. There is always a rollback option.
Can our team keep working during the migration?
Yes. We plan the migration so your team continues using Xero until cutover. We run parallel systems where needed so there is no operational gap.
Do you clean up our data before migrating?
Yes — data cleansing is included. Duplicates are merged, dead records removed, formats standardised and field mappings validated before anything moves to MYOB.
Do you handle the integrations with other systems?
Yes. Any platforms connected to Xero — accounting, CRM, payroll, eCommerce — need reconnecting to MYOB. We handle the full integration layer so everything works from day one.
Is our data secure during the migration?
Yes. All data is processed by our Australian team. We use secure, encrypted connections and never store credentials. Your Xero data is not modified — we extract a copy for transformation and loading.
Do you only work with Perth businesses?
We are based in Perth but work Australia-wide. Around half our clients are in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. Remote delivery is standard for us.
