Keep MYOB for payroll and BAS, quote and invoice in WhizInvoice
MYOB has served Australian and New Zealand businesses for decades, and it handles payroll and BAS alongside invoicing. If you mainly need to quote and invoice the enquiries your website brings in, here is a fair comparison and a clear path across.
Why trades and cleaners look beyond MYOB for invoicing
MYOB’s plans are built around accounting. Even Solo by MYOB, the smallest, includes tax tracking and a business bank account inside the app, and the bigger plans add payroll, inventory and job tracking. All of its plans send unlimited quotes and invoices, which is a genuine plus.
Where service businesses feel the fit less well is at the front of the job. Enquiries arrive through a website form, a quote needs a deposit, and a property manager wants one statement for six end of lease cleans. Invoicing in another currency only comes with AccountRight Premier. And if you only need invoicing, a full accounting subscription can be more than the job requires.
WhizInvoice is not a replacement for MYOB’s accounting. It is a faster front end for the selling side: enquiry, quote, deposit, invoice, reminder and statement.

What stays in MYOB
If MYOB runs your payroll, Single Touch Payroll reporting, super or BAS, keep it for those jobs. One sensible split: MYOB for the accounting, WhizInvoice to quote, invoice and chase payment.
WhizInvoice does not connect to or sync with MYOB. Before you start, agree with your accountant or bookkeeper how your sales figures will reach MYOB, for example from WhizInvoice reports on Business or a CSV export on Starter and above.
Bring your MYOB contacts across in four steps
Export your customers from MYOB
In MYOB Business in your browser, go to Reporting, then Reports, open the Business tab and run the Contacts report. Use Customise to pick the columns, then Export to Excel. In AccountRight on the desktop, use File, then Import/Export Assistant, choose Export data and pick comma separated.
Bring your items too
For your price list in MYOB Business, open Settings, then Import and export data, choose the Export tab and the Items data type. MYOB saves a tab separated text file; open it in Excel and save it as CSV.
Upload to WhizInvoice
On Starter or above, upload your CSV files and match the columns to name, email, phone, address, postcode and price.
Set your country, then connect websites
Choose Australia or New Zealand in Settings so currency, GST and your tax number label are right, then connect your websites with the WordPress plugin.
Good to know before you start
Excel first, then CSV
MYOB Business exports contacts to Excel. Open the file, check it has one header row, and save it as CSV UTF-8 before you upload.
Access rights
In AccountRight, only the Administrator and Accountant or Bookkeeper roles can export by default. Ask whoever holds that access if the option is missing.
Open invoices stay put
Let invoices already issued in MYOB be paid and matched in MYOB. New jobs start in WhizInvoice from your chosen date.
Bank details on every invoice
Add your BSB, account number or PayID in WhizInvoice so customers can pay by bank transfer without card fees.
Good to know
Does WhizInvoice sync with MYOB?
No, there is no integration or sync with MYOB. You import customers and items once by CSV, and your bookkeeper takes sales figures from WhizInvoice reports or exports.
Can I export MYOB contacts straight to CSV?
In MYOB Business the Contacts report exports to Excel, which you then save as CSV. AccountRight’s Import/Export Assistant can export comma separated files directly.
Will WhizInvoice invoices work for GST in Australia?
Choose Australia in Settings and invoices carry the Tax invoice title, your ABN and GST at 10%. Your tax records and BAS stay your responsibility.
I use Solo by MYOB on my phone. Is WhizInvoice similar?
WhizInvoice also works on your phone, in the browser rather than an app, and adds website enquiries, statements and reminders. It does not include a bank account or BAS tools.
What if I change my mind?
Paid plans have a 30 day money back guarantee, and you can download all your data whenever you like, even after cancelling.
