Cancelling your MYOB subscription

It'll be sad to see you go, but if you need to cancel your MYOB subscription we're here to help.

As cancelling your subscription can involve security risks, it can only be done by the primary contact on your MYOB account. This is typically the person who set up the subscription.

Business needs changed? If your needs have changed, consider switching to a lower-cost plan instead.

Need access to past transactions? If you want to look up past transactions or access documents after your access ends, you’ll need download the information before your access ends. See below for details.

Before your access ends

Your MYOB business contains financial information and other records you may need to keep for future reference or to meet your record-keeping obligations.

Before your access ends, make sure your records are up to date and download the information you may need later.

Download your financial and payroll reports

Your reports provide a record of your business activity. The easiest way to save them is to create a financial report pack. A report pack combines the reports you select into a single PDF, so they’re easier to download, store and refer to later.

If you use payroll, create a separate payroll report pack. This lets you use the correct dates for each payroll year.

  • Financial reports: run the pack for each completed financial year you need, then run it from the start of the current financial year to your final transaction date.

  • Payroll reports: run the pack for each completed payroll year using 1 July to 30 June, then run it from 1 July to your final pay date for the current payroll year.

Add the following reports to each pack.
