Working online

Why work online?

If you have an AccountRight subscription, you're able to take advantage of all the benefits of storing your company file online. Check out subscription info & pricing.

Access your accounts anywhere and anytime—even from a web browser—and give others access too, such as your colleagues, bookkeeper and accountant. You can even choose which areas of your file they can see.

When working online your data is safe, secure and always current. Desktop computer crash? No worries - your data is safe, online!

Get started

Got the latest version of AccountRight on your PC, plus an MYOB subscription? Great! Next, you'll need an online company file. If you purchased your AccountRight subscription online, your file is probably already online so you can skip to the next section. You'll know you're online thanks to the green status bar at the bottom of the screen. If the file is offline, the status bar at the bottom is purple.

If you purchased AccountRight and you own the software, your file will be offline – so you'll need to contact us to purchase a subscription.

If your file is offline, you can either upload an existing file or create one from scratch. Then you can open your online file.

You can also access your online file in a web browser from any device.

Now that you're online, let's see what you can do...

Hot tip... If your accountant or someone else set up AccountRight for you, they may have created your file already – if so, you just need to accept their invitation to work on it.

Work with others

It's simple for others to work on your online file at the same time as you, whether it be your colleagues, your bookkeeper, or your accountant.

That means easier, more efficient collaboration with your team, all while maintaining control over who sees what information and when. Check out the video on the right to learn more.

When you created your file, you may have invited others to access it – if so, you now need to finish up by adding them as company file users. Haven't invited anyone yet? Invite them now.

Work from anywhere

Now that you're online, you're no longer tied to the office. In fact, your no longer even tied to your computer.

You can choose to work on your online file:

  • on any computer that's connected to the internet and has AccountRight installed (need to install AccountRight on another computer?), or

  • on any device using a web browser.

This means you can work from home, at a café, or on the move – anywhere you can access the internet. Catch up on your books at a time that suits you, not just during regular business hours.

You can also install the MYOB Invoice app on your mobile device to manage your accounts and contacts, see who owes you money, and record payments too.
