Business Verification
We've received an email about verifying our business for secure invoicing. We don't use any of the online invoicing options and have no plans to. Do we still need to go through the verification process? By verifying will there be any changes to our invoice setup? Will we have to set up our system/invoices so that none of the online payment options appear on the invoices?

2 MIN READ Hello everyone! Welcome to the second installment of our Product Manager spotlight! This month, we are getting to know Malinda better. After you learn more below, head to the Q&A board to ask a question before 5pm 6th March. Name: Malinda N Role: Product Manager What product or workflow do you manage? Banking and core accounting workflows in our SME products (MYOBB and AR) How long you have been at MYOB? 6 years What inspired you to pursue a career in product management? I’m driven by solving complex problems and having a meaningful impact. Product management gives me the opportunity to improve customer experiences and create solutions that make a difference. Can you share a little about your background and how you arrived in your current role? I’m a Certified Practicing Accountant with over 15 years of experience working in public practice. I joined MYOB in 2018 as a Subject Matter Expert providing essential accounting knowledge to the product development teams, particularly during the development of MYOB Business. This experience sparked my interest in product management as I saw the impact that solving customer problems can have through innovative solutions. Transitioning into product management 3 years ago, I’ve been able to combine my accounting expertise with my passion for delivering value to customers and I’m excited about continuing to make a meaningful impact. What has been your favorite project or feature to work on, and why? My favourite project so far is our current banking initiative. We are currently working on integrating new technologies, including AI into our core banking workflows to streamline and automate record keeping for businesses. With this integration, we’re setting the stage for a year of significant improvements, creating efficiencies to unlock more time for our customers so they can focus on more important things. 2025 will be an exciting year! What do you enjoy doing outside of work? Any hobbies or passions? Horse-riding, gardening, basketball and spending time with family/ friends. What’s one thing you’d like the community to know about your product or team? We spend hours each week reviewing customer feedback to ensure we are working on the most important things. What’s your favorite productivity hack or tool? Find and recode in MYOB. Excel is still the tool I use most regularly in my day to day life…..spoken as a true Accountant! We know that Banking is an important workflow to our customers and community members, I am excited to see what questions we get this week. So if you have a question for Malinda, head on over to the Q&A board now to ask. This question board will remain open until 5pm on the 6th March, so make sure you post your question there before its closed. Cheers, Mike32Views1like0CommentsWhat happened in that update last night?
What on earth happened in the update that was pushed through overnight? I can't get the command centre to appear as a full size screen anymore and every time I leave the screen and come back, the command centre has resized itself and moved. Why do software engineers create more problems than they solve?244Views10likes19CommentsFebruary Spotlight: Harry De Souza (P2P)
Hello everyone! Welcome to our first Product Manager spotlight of the year! We've now opened up a dedicated Q&A board to give you the opportunity to get to know Harry better and ask him questions about the product he manages. This question board will remain open until 5pm on the 4th February, so make sure you post your question there before its closed. Now for the exciting part - introducing HARRY! Name: Harry De Souza Role: Product Manager Product/workflow you manage: Procure to Pay, which is our internal name for the purchasing experience in MYOBB and ARL. How long you have been at MYOB? Just a tad over three years now. What inspired you to pursue a career in product management? Coming from a technical background, I always liked the strategic thinking aspect of software, the engagement with customers and the move from ideation to delivery. Can you share a little about your background and how you arrived in your current role? Back in my home country of Brazil, I worked almost my entire career in technical roles in the banking industry. After moving to New Zealand, I found the opportunity to shift to product ownership in a SaaS business, which paved the way for me to land the job at MYOB. What has been your favorite project or feature to work on, and why? I can’t share the specifics of my favourite project right now but I like transformation projects. Be it launching a new product or developing new functionality to an existing one. It's a great opportunity to chase greener pastures and really leverage what we can learn from customers. A project I can share and am excited about is the work to improve our Uploads (In Tray) experience. This has been really rewarding to date and I’m excited to see what we can deliver. If you could have any superpower to help with product management, what would it be and why? Oh, omnipresence would be a good start! There are so many people we could engage with to learn more about what they expect from our product, and others we could use to bounce ideas with, but all of that requires engaging with all those individuals, and that takes time. What do you enjoy doing outside of work? Any hobbies or passions? I am obsessed with mechanical things such as cars, motorcycles, and even watches. I have a side project where I engage with car and motorbike brands that operate in NZ to review their vehicles, getting to scratch that itch while also working the storytelling and photography muscles. What’s one thing you’d like the community to know about your product or team? We are very aware that Procure to Pay (purchasing) is not the reason why someone starts a business. Our customers want to develop their business, and make money through invoicing their customers. Purchasing/spending money, similar to doing the books is part of the job, so our work is always prioritised from the lens of making that workflow as easy as can be for our customers.161Views3likes0CommentsImporting from Retail Manager - Trouble
Hi, I have been importing from Retail Manager to Account Right Desktop for a number of years and last week I have started to have problems. The import works but the pop box telling me that the import was successful does not go away and I cannot do anything. The only thing I can do is restart my laptop. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this to happen, have never had any issues in the past. Thanks Fifitz17Views0likes2Commentshow do you change the default superannuation bank account in myob?

Hi all. My team use MYOB Team for timesheets. We are in the early stages on using this program and have some kinks. One of these is the entering of public holidays. Just chasing some suggestions/guidance on how other get their employees to enter public holiday days so that it pulls directly in to the payrun or if this is even possible. We can't see it show up when submitting a leave request. Any tips would be appreciated :)22Views0likes1CommentElectronic Clearing Acc.
Hi all.... I've made a new-user mistake. We pay the employees by way of direct transfer from the acc. Initially I had the Payment Method for each employee set at Electronic Payment. I didn't realise that, due to the way we pay them, it needed to be set on CASH. So I've ended up with a negative balance in the clearing acc. Due to the wages already having been paid from the bank acc, & now a negative value in the Clearing Acc, MYOB is effectively recording a double payment. I can't work out how to remove the incorrectly recorded value in the clearing acc. Can anyone help. Thanks.16Views0likes1Comment
