Next steps
In this release, we've included the necessary changes to help you with upgrading to Practice tax. Follow the installation guide and install this version. When your practice is ready, talk to your Account Manager about how you can upgrade your desktop software and move all your clients online.
We've improved how MYOB Essentials (new) works with Client Accounting:
Performance improvements in Essentials (new). It'll now be faster when it accesses ledger account balances. This is especially noticeable with large ledgers.
We've improved your experience with setting up an Essentials (new) file for your clients.
Tax account group mapping is available for all AE MAS and AO GL entity types.
Client Accounting's department settings support prefixes, special characters and alphanumeric characters. This lets you produce individual (rather than combined) department income statement reports.
