Short version: MYOB powers roughly a third of Australian SMB accounting, yet most automation content only covers Xero. NexFlow builds n8n workflows around MYOB Business and AccountRight — capturing invoices, posting bills, prepping payroll data, and pushing reports to Slack/email — using MYOB's API and webhooks. Typical result: ~8 hours/month of bookkeeping data-entry removed.
MYOB is half the market that nobody automates
Xero gets the automation spotlight, but a large share of Australian small businesses run MYOB. The bookkeeping pain is identical: invoices arrive by email, someone re-types them, bills get posted by hand, and month-end is a scramble. n8n connects to MYOB through its API so the typing disappears.
What we automate around MYOB
- Invoice & bill capture: email PDF → OCR + AI extraction → draft bill posted to MYOB with supplier matched.
- Sales invoices: create and send invoices from CRM or e-commerce events.
- Reconciliation help: pre-match bank feed lines and flag exceptions for a human.
- Payroll prep: assemble timesheet data so payroll runs are review-only.
- Reporting: scheduled cash-position and aged-receivables summaries into Slack or email.
Audit-grade by default
Every step is logged, timestamped, and replayable — so your bookkeeper, accountant, and the ATO can follow exactly what the automation did. Anything above a threshold you set stays human-approved. You own the workflow code and can self-host it.
Common questions
Can n8n connect to MYOB?
Yes. n8n talks to MYOB Business and AccountRight through MYOB's API (and HTTP/webhook nodes for anything not covered by a native node). That is enough to create invoices, post bills, read reports, and trigger workflows on accounting events.
Is MYOB automation different from Xero automation?
The patterns are the same — invoice capture, bill posting, reconciliation help, reporting — but the API and field mappings differ. NexFlow builds for whichever platform you run; if you use both MYOB and Xero across entities, a single n8n layer can sit across them.
How much does MYOB automation cost?
It depends on scope. A single MYOB workflow fits the Spark plan (one production workflow, from A$2,400); multi-workflow finance automation is best run as an ongoing Flow partnership (A$1,800/month). A paid 60-minute Deep Map consult (US$130) is the low-risk way to scope it first.
The 15-minute map tells you yes, no, or “you don’t need us.”
Paid, focused, no deck. A single production workflow starts at A$2,400 (Spark) and ships in about two weeks; ongoing partnerships are A$1,800/month (Flow).
