Work from anywhere

use any computer that's connected to the internet and has AccountRight installed, or
use a web browser on any device.
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 whenever it suits you, not just during regular business hours.
You can also install the MYOB Assist app on your mobile device to create and send invoices and upload photos of your expenses to the AccountRight In Tray.
Save time with bank feeds
You no longer need to manually enter every payment you make and receive. Instead, you can receive information about your transactions straight from your bank into AccountRight.
It makes it easy to reconcile the statements you receive from your bank with what’s recorded in your company file.

In Tray - a smarter way to manage your bills
When suppliers email you their invoices, store them securely online and link them to your AccountRight bills using the In Tray. Some suppliers can even send their invoices directly to your In Tray.
If you're on the go, use the MYOB Assist app to snap a photo of an expense receipt and send it straight to your In Tray.
Once a document is in your In Tray, AccountRight will identify key information in the document, speeding up transaction entry by filling in what it can for you. Or you can link uploaded documents to bills you've already entered.
