Our New Website - April 2025
This is the new, simpler website for the MYOB User Group. We hope you can find your way around - use the main navigation on the top right, with dropdown Page links. There is no longer an option to use a Member profile, but don't worry our service hasn't changed. We will keep in touch by email and you are welcome to email us at any time.

Why we formed the MYOB User Group
Those of us who bought licences from MYOB UK Ltd were once told: 'MYOB won't ever charge a fee for the process of validating your company file. To do so would go against our company values and damage our good reputation' MYOB Pty said that on their website (source available from your MYOB licence page). That was before they decided to sell the UK distributorship and allow a new distributor to charge for reconfirmations.
MYOB told its UK/Irish users that it would stop reconfirming datafiles for users of MYOB version 13 to 18 in December 2011. We believe that by doing this it broke its licence agreement with users. Mamut asa bought the distribution rights in the UK from MYOB subject to a commercial agreement that no MYOB user has a right to see. Visma and now Ledger One have since taken over the distribution rights for Mac - only.
Although there are alternatives to MYOB, for many small-scale users the most straightforward option was to carry on using their existing software. This is software that they had bought outright, and have a perfect right to use.
We therefore set up a group to run a system that allows us to generate reconfirmation codes so licence holders can do just that. We also want users to feel supported. Therefore we have created somewhere to discuss problems with their MYOB bookkeeping.

Feedback from Our Members
May I take this opportunity of saying I have really appreciated the way you rescued the MYOB community from the disastrous situation a few years ago and I have also really appreciated the extremely helpful information you have put online to help MYOB devotees find a suitable replacement. ...... Thank you for everything you have done for us. 
Thank you so much. License renewed. What a relief! You guys do an amazing job.
Thank you so much for helping us out over the years by enabling us to go on using MYOB without having to switch to another accountancy package- and for your patience with my parents in the last couple of years when my Mum struggled to get the company code entered on time and you generated the codes again for us.
