If I could give zero or a minus I would, been with this poor service company for nearly 13 years with my business, had multiple issues over the years, go to zero, don’t use MYOB Sold my business and send an email after 2 phone calls waiting for 1-1.5hrs had to hang up, apparentky the cancellation team dont look at emails apparently but they are… Read more
still charging my credit card the full amount, also when you sell, you are stuck with them for 7 years after selling.. as you don’t own the files
Avoid this company at all costs. When you open a St George Business account, you’re supposed to get one year of free MYOB, clearly advertised on their website. Yet no one there seems to know what’s going on. For the past six months, they’ve continued charging the subscription despite numerous tickets and calls. Promises of a callback to resolve… Read more
the issue went unfulfilled, and no one responds to the tickets. I’ve spent at least an hour on hold each time trying to speak to someone. I’ll be making an official complaint to the ACCC.
Absolute trash service from this company, let me tell you when i say service is slow i dont mean they might take a few hours to respond I mean weeks to respond, the last ticket i have took 3 months to respond to. I was unable to perform any admin functions as I was apparently not an admin, as the only user and the user that setup the account it… Read more
would be difficult for me to find an administrator to give me permission, even the telephone technical support couldnt do it, and they said you are the admin, that took 6 hours on hold to me be told that only customer service could fix it, and I was already waiting several days for them to reply, spoiler, they never replied. I couldnt cancel my account, not admin, my subscription rolled over again, charged again, still couldnt get admin sorted waited again tried to call customer service again on hold for several hours, told OK we can cancel manually but no refund for you, if you dont like it raise a ticket. Again really awesome service, still havent had a reply from the other tickets... that was 8th April 2026... I just today received a response, no refund for you, you didnt cancel 10 days before roll over so youre not getting a refund, its the 3rd August 2026.
If you want support, choose a different product, these guys just want your money, they dont really care about your business, its in the name, mind YOUR OWN business, they couldnt care less.

Customer Supporter Nikki is a LEGEND – Nikki saved me from a day full of testing Admin and Discovery. In minutes she brightened things with a smile in her voice. She was totally professional, helpful and polite. She coached me through the entire set up process and made sure all the extras were up and running too. Thank You Nikki, you saved my day. Show reply
Service was exceptional – Blair was very professional, sorted out my additional needs and was prompt in setting up and calling back
Reacquainting with an old friend – When i used MYOB back in the early 2000's as a sole trader it virtually eliminated the need for an accountant, so my first choice when i decided that i wanted to run my own show again was MYOB. The free trial was excellent, all the bells and whistles with the bells and whistles price. All the extras i don't need as a one man band, i trailed half… Read more
a dozen programs, EOFY the emails came thick and fast and i was glad MYOB sent there offer, i gladly jumped on board and i am very happy with the product and the Knowledge I'm supporting an Australian company. Something we all should consider when we spend our money!!
What a relief! – Starting out in business, overwhelmed with everything we need to remember along with supporting our clients, it has been an absolute godsend to have MYOB as part of our team to run our business smoothly.
My experience with MYOB – Have belonged to MYOB since 2000 with Accountright and the quality of the product has been sensational as has support. I changed this year to Essentials due to a reduction in business output and staff levels. A different experience with Essentials but covers what I require. The only complaint I have is how long it takes to speak to someone when… Read more
you ring them. I was suprisingly lucky enough to win a $500 Bunnings voucher which I wasn't aware was part of the purchase Thank you MYOB. I can say that MYOB has served me brilliantly over the last 20 years.
I am about to lose my mind!!!!! On hold for over one hour to be told by MYOB representative that she is not trained in what I need help with and she is going to have to transfer my call. Looking at another hour wait she said.

Support are absolutely hopeless. Over 2 weeks waiting for them to upload my file to the new online subscription that they have forced me to upgrade too. Unless you are competent in this area, stay away from them. Are the worst customer support i have experienced.
Follow-up · MYOB still have not uploaded my offline file to their new online system. its now been over 6 weeks since first paying for the subscription upfront and requesting they upload my file. Xero is starting to look like a good option. Still absolutely hopeless.

Long time MYOB user (like 20 years +) but sad to say I am not a happy customer after the recent changes and ZERO response from multiple attempts to try and contact MYOB for help via requests, phone calls and Live Chats. Very sad. Not sure what I… Read more
am to do now. Plus my subscription rate increase from $90 to $120 only 3 months ago and since then no support, no help and no improvement on product. Not a happy customer :-(
Follow-up · One month on no response from MYOB. So very disappointing. Furthermore the only way to cancel my subscription is contact them and I can’t actually get through to them so they are still charging $120/month for something I have no way of cancelling.

I have been with MYOB for over 15 years. Of late the support has been appalling. I have had an issue with credit card payments not automatically reconciling, and after 5 seperate phone calls of an hour and a half each, going over the same issue… Read more
with another kind but ultimately unhelpful support person, only to be promised that the issue has been escalated to their development team and that I will be updated, and then not to hear anything back! Frustrated to the nth degree -absolutely no ability to escalate the issue myself! I have started using Xero for some of my files due to MYOB abruptly ceasing their offline file support and all I can say is RUN DONT WALK.
Follow-up · I was contacted by MYOB after my review. The issue still hasn't been resolved and I can't tell when our problem will be taken seriously. Promises of credits to our account have also not happened but I trust they will.

and made sure all the extras were up and running too. Thank You Nikki, you saved my end of financial year week.
Please listen and read this review and all the others before signing up to MYOB. I used them for about a year and wasn't too bad the software itself, but as soon as you go to cancel, they will continue to bill even while you no longer use the software. You cannot cancel yourself you need a MYOB team member to cancel, and they won't cancel… Read more · 3
immediately, [Content Removed]. Don't listen to the automated responses they give you here and their support. I'll be taking this to the AFCA and getting the refund as multiple attempts to discuss with their incompetent billing team is just more automated responses.
I’ve found MYOB really easy to use. All my key cashflow info is right there on the dashboard, invoicing is simple, and I’m loving the new MYOB Assist app - no more lost receipts and unclaimed expenses! Show reply

I use MYOB payroller to pay do Pay Run and it is totally rubbish software. It is so hard to use.

the following message shows
"You need to verify your mobile number before you can authorise payments. Please check the email we sent you for information on how to do this."
The above message didn't tell me how to verify the mobile number, is that difficult to just add an button on the screen said "verify your mobile".
You said will send email to me to verify my mobile and the below is the email I received.

Customer service is amongst the worst I’ve ever experienced, beyond belief and I strongly advise any small medium business owners to avoid MYOB like the plague Do not subscribe to MYOB, you will regret it. The business model seems to be to frustrate small business users into giving up and forgetting that they’re paying for this terrible service. … Read more
I spent many hours and eventually got a confirmation that my service had been cancelled and I got my next invoice 3 days later, and another one the following month!
I have given up phoning or trying to chat online so I submitted an email instead. 10 days later still no response other than the automated acknowledgement that they received my message.

I read the web site information as I want a low cost very simple bookkeeping system. The Myob system sounded ok and I signed up.

Then I tried to cancel my payment with NO response… Read more
from MYOB. The company has no time to deal with suckers who sign up in good faith. It is a scam to offer something and later say there are limiting conditions. People BEWARE!!

What a rigamarole to get the MYOB subscription reinstated , Other programs have a reinstate button as soon as you open the program , I have had to send a request to open the subscription again for myob for one of my customers , chat bot was not helpful and I wouldnt even try ringing as they are so hard to reach.. I recommend -RECKON or XERO .. good service on those ones.

myob is not working correctly today 8/7/26. no support at all. AI doesn't understand anything and is utterly useless. The worst thing they did is take our offline versions away.

MYOB double charges and won't refund the excess My business has used MYOB for more than 20 years. Last year, I renewed my annual subscription late, because I intended to cancel. Since I had not cancelled before the renewal date, I paid the annual fee. Since then, MYOB has also charged me for a monthly subscription for the same software service.… Read more
For 3 months now, I have been trying to get MYOB support to tell me if I am on a monthly or annual subscription and to refund the excess subscription fees it has charged. MYOB has repeatedly promised to refund the annual fee but has not done so. Despite repeated support calls with very long waits, and detailed letters, I cannot get a useful response from MYOB about when and how the problem will be resolved. They talk about a need to update their systems to handle old invoices but nothing about actually fixing the problem. If you have a choice, do not use MYOB. If you run into a billing issue, you could be facing enormous frustration. ADDENDUM - MYOB response to this review After posting this review, I was contacted by MYOB as set out below. I responded with details of the problem and relevant support cases. Shortly after, I received an email that expressed sympathy but simply repeated what I had already been told. • MYOB acknowledges that it has money that does not belong to it. • It offered nothing but hollow sympathy and repeated the ridiculous, vague claim that it cannot repay that money without resolving an unspecified technical issue in its billing system. No timeframe for resolution is offered. Even after a 3 months delay, it appears that no one with authority will authorise repayment based on acknowledged facts. The conclusion is clear. MYOB is a company that lacks integrity and is shameless. MYOB places administrative convenience above its obligations to act honestly and fairly towards its customer. Based on my experience, MYOB is a disgraceful organisation that is quite willing to deliberately treat its customers with contempt. Do not do business with MYOB unless you have no alternative.

After more than 20 years using MYOB, we've finally made the decision to move to Xero. Frankly, MYOB feels like a product that belongs in the 1990s — or better yet, in the bin. At $165 per month, it should be vastly better than it is. The reporting is poorly formatted, comparing historical periods is clunky, and the inability to seamlessly work… Read more
across financial years in many situations is incredibly frustrating.
Progress invoicing is another major weakness. There is no intuitive, streamlined way to manage staged billing, and in truth, there seems to be no seamless way to do much of anything. Almost every task feels more complicated than it needs to be.
After two decades of putting up with the limitations, we've finally reached the point where the cost, inefficiency and frustration simply outweigh the pain of changing systems.
Here's hoping the next 20 years are a little less painful.

of contacting them. AI searching gave me a number (1300940281) which would not provide an assistant for 2 hours this morning and this afternoon's call, a message said there is a 4 hour wait to talk to someone.

Worst company I have ever dealt with in my life. 1) After signed proposal within week from demo, constant follow up from their sales team to push signing proposal and luring with some discount.

them to remove from our project MYOB said then we need extra 6months which we allowed which means project supposed to Finnish in 1 year however, after 2years it was the same thing.
Paid 96000AUD and invested our more than 2years time, loss of business we were not even closer to finish our project.
only good thing is with MYOB is that they very accurate on deducting Money from your account and overdue follow up. after sending 10+ emails for cancellation still issuing invoices and overdue statements even though 2years contract is finished. Moreover, in proposal quoted us different but deducting regular price.
I can write whole book on this,
Simply stay away from this company. its total fraud. I found multiple businesses who have had same issues hence I strongly believe class action will happen sooner or later for sure. Looting honest Australians will demonstrate their strengths to this global scammers.
