DO NOT purchase this product if you ever want to cancel your subscription! I chose to use an alternative product and when my renewal was due I tried to cancel, I called, was cut off, not rung back. I lodged an online request multiple times. Finally they said they would cancel next year and promptly debited me another year! This was done before… Read more

I lodged an appeal against the charge but NADA! no communication. It is despicable business practices and I will be taking it to the ACCC. Do not deal with this company!
Waste of money and time. The subscription is also almost impossible to cancel, making an already frustrating experience even worse. The support team repeatedly provided incorrect and conflicting information. Every time I spoke with a different representative, I received completely different guidance, often the exact opposite of what I had been… Read more
told previously. Despite having an active case registered, there seemed to be no consistency, communication, or ownership of the issue.
This resulted in unnecessary delays, wasted time, and additional costs. Instead of helping to resolve the problem, each interaction created more confusion due to the contradictory advice being provided. The lack of accountability and consistency was extremely disappointing.
The company seriously needs to improve staff training, internal communication, and customer support processes to ensure customers receive accurate and reliable information. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this service.

I have a premier subscription. That comes with priority support. Every case I log has been closed with no action taken and no response. Usually I am waiting for some kind of answer from them when they do this. The latest - "Your case has been sitting in a resolved state for a few days, and as we haven’t heard back from you, we’ve assumed there… Read more
are no further questions related to this request and have now closed the case." The latest one, I need to downgrade my subscription as I am not using the Premium features. They conned me into signing up for a new subscription at the lower level, then their team would perform a migration from the higher level to the lower level. Its been a week, I have heard nothing. I got my latest bill - still at the full subscription. Now I am paying for almost double (TWO subscriptions) and they closed my case with the above explanation. FMFL. Methodology - Do nothing, close the case make their KPIs as achieved while the customer gets screwed.

They trap you in subscription with no option to cancel it. The only way is to call them which is never answered. I was on hold for 1 hour with no one picking up at the end.

MYOB has been an horrific experience. We used to use AccountRight offline, which was an easy, intuitive software, and offline. Days prior to 1/7/26 MYOB advised when trying to open our datafile that we could no longer use this and had to use a paid subscription version. We were forced to sign up and chose MYOB Business Pro. This was a nightmare… Read more
from the start. Customer invoices aren't being sent and apparently this is because noreply@myob is regularly filtered out by Google as spam. Reporting is difficult with customer information not being displayed at all. We're told to keep deleting browser data or move to incognito mode but nothing works. I haven't been able to login to MYOB at all since yesterday and we have a lot of data entry. Because I'm not as yet the primary contact I can't arrange to set up 2FA using my mobile. I lodged the required forms last night (primary contact form and ASIC information for the company) but was told although these have been received this needs to go to a MYOB team and there is no timeframe. MYOB has been extortionist and arrogant throughout this whole experience. I'm regretting very much not changing over to Xero or just about anyone else. Think very carefully if you're considering moving to MYOB online.

Being a Chartered Accountant of 30 years, MYOB has to be the MOST FRUSTRATING of all bookkeeping applications that I have ever used. The number of times that I have to login to access a company database is just mindboggling. To make it really bad, it is a two factor authentication (TFA) process. Here is an example of how the MYOB process is… Read more
frustrating, and unnecessarily ineffective, slow and repetitive for a so-called online system.
I try to login with username, password and TFA to be greeted with "Your database needs to be updated. Would you like to update now or later." I click "Later" and the login process terminates! Clearly, there was NO "later" option!!! I then start the login process again with username, password and TFA to be greeted with the same message. I click "Update now", and MYOB asks "Would you like to terminate users and start the update". I click "Yes" and the login process terminates again! I start the login process for the third time with username, password and TFA to finally get in. This happens EVERY SINGLE MONTH !!! for what MYOB calls an online system. If it is truly ONLINE, all updates would occur at their server end/in the cloud. Why does the login process even asks the question???
And to make things worse with their ridiculous login process...your username and password is NOT able to be saved using your desktop/Windows functionality. It is as though you are trying to get into Fort Knox every single time!!! You have to literally type in your username (being your entire email address) and your password and then go to your Inbox to retrieve their continually refreshed TFA code.
Basic functionality of MYOB once you finally login is acceptable, nothing special, nothing especially efficient or outstanding when compared to other competitive products. I do not recommend this to any client.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

AVOID THIS COMPANY. Impossible to cancel subscription. No ability to cancel online, and on hold for hours waiting to speak to an agent to process the cancellation. Hidden in the online terms and conditions is the requirement that notification of cancellation is required 10 days before end of subscription period, even for monthly subscriptions. Completely unacceptable service. Will avoid in future.

The products are fine, however the service is terrible. If you need any assistance with your product, be prepared to wait 2.5 hours on the MYOB Help phone line! Who has the time to do this if you are running a business?!
Follow-up · Because of the terrible wait times to contact MYOB by phone, I have now been punished and forced to pay for 2 separate MYOB plans although I am obviously only using one. I was told in an email that I had to swap to an online plan. I called repeatedly to find out which was the appropriate online plan to swap to. I held on for 1.5 hours each time,… Read more

Have been with MYOB for 30 years. Support assistance has increasingly become worse but have used the software for so long rarely needed it. However now it's gone online and support is required nearly constantly for issues and faults with the software, and waiting 2 hours for support is appalling.

I have been on hold for 2 hours. I have no idea whether I will get through to speak to someone. When you ring their number you have to speak to an AI which is next to useless.

for MYOB. When I eventually managed to get through I was told by their “customer service” that my account was actually in the name of someone named “Business Buddy” and therefore I was not authorised to change that data. Of course MYOB has been quite happy to charge me for their “service”. So were in the incredible situation that the email address and payment details for the account were mine but the account was actually that of Business Buddy. Whilst I could not amend these details online for “security” reasons, I was able to fill out a PDF that did not have any online fields so is designed to be printed out and filled by hand and this would work to remove “business buddy” from the account. What additional security is being enforced by this archaic process escapes me and apparently evades MYOB too because they have not been able to explain their reasoning. If there genuinely are two people involved they should be getting Business Buddy to make changes not me. Equally if they accept that I am the owner why can’t I add or amend names? Finally they have had the gall to charge me for an additional month when the only reason the cancellation did not take place was because of their inefficient and ridiculous processes. They most certainly do not deserve your business. In fact their Sofware as a Service model with a monthly subscription is great for their cashflow and terrible for yours.

Our experience with MYOB was bad enough that we ultimately abandoned the platform and moved our business accounting to Xero. The problems started when MYOB began displaying accounting information that appeared fundamentally inconsistent. We experienced duplicated transfer behaviour, incorrect balances, Banking Hub balances that did not align with… Read more
the General Ledger, and balances that appeared to persist despite the underlying transactions being deleted or corrected.
At one point, we had an account where the General Ledger showed no underlying transactions while MYOB's Banking Hub continued displaying a balance. We have screenshots and records documenting the behaviour we experienced.
What followed was arguably worse than the original system problem.
We first contacted MYOB support on 4 May 2026. After receiving no meaningful assistance, we followed up on 6 May. We then lodged a detailed formal complaint on 8 May setting out the problems, the troubleshooting already undertaken and the impact on the business.
That complaint was chased again on 12 May and 16 May.
Still no meaningful resolution.
By approximately 18 May, we had lost confidence in both the accounting platform and MYOB's ability to support it, so we started moving our business to Xero. That meant manually migrating information and subsequently working back through our records to validate and reconcile them from 1 July 2025.
MYOB finally provided a substantive response on 27 May — more than three weeks after our initial support request and after we had already started leaving the platform.
Their explanation was remarkable. MYOB admitted in writing:
"We've been working through an internal issue that affected how some support requests were routed and monitored, and your enquiry was one of those impacted."
So while we were spending more than 20 hours reviewing transactions, deleting and recreating transfers, re-linking transactions, checking bank feeds, reviewing the General Ledger, comparing actual CBA and Wise balances, reviewing historical balances month by month and trying to determine what was wrong, our requests for help were apparently caught up in MYOB's own internal support-routing problem.
When a response finally arrived, much of it consisted of generic reconciliation advice — precisely the type of troubleshooting we had already spent hours undertaking.
The eventual response to our complaint acknowledged that MYOB had failed to manage our support requests and complaint properly. MYOB accepted that there had been a delay acknowledging the complaint, that we had not received timely ownership or meaningful updates, and that its internal routing and monitoring issue had affected our case.
Their proposed resolution?
A refund of $60.01 in subscription fees.
That completely misses the point.
The real cost was the enormous amount of business time wasted trying to investigate an accounting system we could no longer rely upon, repeatedly chasing support that was not responding, and then manually migrating and reconciling our records with another provider.
Accounting software sits at the heart of a business's financial records. When something appears seriously wrong, responsive and competent support is not an optional extra.
Our experience with MYOB was the opposite.
A system we lost confidence in, support requests that went effectively nowhere, a formal complaint that required repeated chasing, an admitted internal failure in MYOB's own support process, and ultimately enough disruption that we moved the entire business to another accounting provider.
Based on our experience, I could not recommend MYOB to another small business.

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.
