Sharing financial statements

The Share It feature lets you easily save files to your client document folder and transfer files directly to your MYOB Portal.

You can share your financial statement or export it to Word, Excel or as a PDF.

  • If you don't have Document Manager, the Export icon in the Report Preview will save the financial statement in the nominated window explorer directory.
  • If you have Document Manager, the Share It icon in the Report Preview will save the financial statement in Document Manager.

Before you use Share It, ensure that you have:

  • set the default folder where documents will be saved for your client. You can do this in Maintenance > Maintenance Map (AO) > Documents > Mail Settings > Document Startup Path.

  • created your client portals.
