FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a MYOB to Xero migration take?
Most MYOB to Xero migrations take 5–6 weeks from engagement to go-live. The timeline depends on the size of your MYOB file, the amount of cleanup required, payroll complexity and the number of integrations to configure. We'll provide a specific timeline after reviewing your file.
Will we lose any data in the migration?
No data is deleted from MYOB during the migration — your MYOB file remains intact. We migrate contacts, chart of accounts, open transactions and opening balances to Xero. Historical transactions are migrated where required. The migration is reconciled before go-live to confirm accuracy.
Can you migrate our payroll from MYOB to Xero?
Yes. We migrate employee records, pay items, leave balances and payroll history to Xero Payroll, configure STP Phase 2, and run a parallel payroll to confirm accuracy before go-live.
What happens to our MYOB integrations?
We review all existing MYOB integrations and reconfigure them for Xero. Most major platforms (Cin7, Unleashed, Deputy, Shopify) connect with both MYOB and Xero, so we test each integration before go-live.
Do you provide ongoing Xero support after the migration?
Yes. SYSBUS provides ongoing Xero bookkeeping, payroll, BAS lodgement and management reporting after migration. Many clients use the migration as an opportunity to outsource their entire finance function to SYSBUS.
How much does a MYOB to Xero migration cost?
Migration cost depends on the size and complexity of your MYOB file, payroll headcount and the number of integrations to configure. Book a free migration assessment and we'll provide a fixed-price quote.
