Starting today, MYOB Business is getting a makeover to make it easier to understand and use.
We’ve listened to customer feedback and we’re making MYOB Business more user-friendly and intuitive.
We’re also updating the language in MYOB Business to use less financial jargon and accounting terms and replacing them with more natural words you’re familiar with.
You’ll see this in some menus, page names and buttons.
For example, instead of ‘setting up a bank feed’, you’ll ‘connect your bank account to MYOB’.
Emma Fawcett, MYOB general manager for SMEs, says the update will make using MYOB a “less daunting prospect” for small businesses.
“Many of our customers, particularly accountants and bookkeepers, are extremely financially literate, but that’s not always the case with small business owners themselves,” she says.
“So we have replaced some of the more technical terms with user-friendly terminology and made it easier for them to use the platform.
“Most small business owners don’t chase their dreams because they love doing the books. We want to help them reap the benefits that a business management platform can provide, without having to learn a whole new financial language.”
The features go live on Wednesday, May 1, to users of MYOB Business Lite and Pro, and the MYOB Business AccountRight Plus and Premier browser.
“The functionality itself has not changed and the solution continues to offer the best-in-class tools needed to run a small or medium sized business,” Emma says.
We’ve put together a walkthrough of some of the in-product changes to get you started.
We’ve upgraded the interface, replacing technical jargon with user-friendly terms to make your journey smoother than ever.
Not everyone is an accountant, so we’re updating MYOB Business with more familiar words.
Some of the bigger changes are:
We’ve updated the browser navigation to a new vertical menu — paired with simpler labels to make it even easier to find your way around.
The Help section has also had a revamp, with a new shortcuts feature added, allowing you to quickly navigate to the task you need.
There’s nothing you need to change or set up – MYOB Business will still work exactly the same.
These enhancements will be automatically rolled out to all MYOB Business and AccountRight users. There’s no need for any pre-update preparations — it’s hassle-free.
Just take some time to familiarise yourself with what’s changing. This will help you to keep working smoothly when the change happens.
