Installing MYOB Accounting Software

Simple Accounting Limited has provided us with a first class service for more than five years
(Secon Solar, Sunderland)

Why use Simple Accounting to install your MYOB Software?

It is not that you cannot get MYOB up and running without help - you probably can. But is it worth your time? Will your installation be simple?

MYOB is simple. MYOB is even simpler if you engage the help of someone who has used it before.

Simple Accounting has installed MYOB software many many times before. We are aware of the pitfalls, the things to watch out for when you change accounting systems, the coding when you set one up from scratch. Little things, like the best way to set up the card file, specifying items (stock), or customising documents.

Template Datafile

Are you using Accounting, AccountEdge, Accounting Plus or AccountEdge Plus? If so, would it be more effective to work off a standard datafile that has been prepared for you? Standard transactions, all defaults and a standard chart of accounts will all be adapted to your particular needs. Just ring us to arrange this for you!

A Typical Installation of MYOB Accounting

MYOB Accounting/ AccountEdge can be set up and the normal functions can be understood in about a day. This assumes that you have a reasonable knowledge of business processes and are familiar with using a computer (Mac or PC).

A typical day's installation will take seven hours and will explain all the following:

  • Navigation around the MYOB Accounting menus and functions
  • Set up of parameters to meet your needs
  • How to improve your management control through analysis of your income & expenditure, your debtors and creditors
  • Explanation and training in how to set up and use:
    • Sales Invoices
    • Receipts from customers
    • Purchase invoices
    • Payments to suppliers
    • Credit Notes
    • Sundry payments and receipts
  • The card file - where you store all your contact information
  • How you customise invoices, delivery notes, statements, purchase orders and other forms
  • VAT Coding to automate your VAT returns
  • Setting up of stock items if appropriate
  • Brief description of other features:
    • VAT reports
    • Bank reconciliation
    • Nominal journal entries
    • Stock control
    • Job/cost centre reporting
    • Back orders
    • Automatic ordering
    • Payroll

Further Training

MYOB is an extremely feature-rich system and many of our clients have found it useful to have further training sessions. This enables you to cover, in more detail, the items which can be only briefly described during the installation process and any others which may be of particular importance to your business. All installations receive free telephone support subsequently.

Conversion from an old Accounts System to MYOB

Simple Accounting is regularly called to enable companies to convert from an old accounting system to MYOB. Provide us with closing accounts, bank reconciliations, client lists, outstanding debts and credits, PAYE and VAT returns and fixed asset and stock valuations. We can translate the whole mess of information into MYOB for you. You then have a clean set of books with which to start your affairs.

Guidance Letters

Sometimes we help by giving you a specific briefing on how to use particular functions. This may be because of a particular feature that is important to your business, it may be because we want you to avoid pitfalls that have caught out other users.
