Importing Accounts Lists from an accountant
If your accountant uses MYOB Accountants Office, an accounting solution widely used by public accountants in practice, you can easily import the Accountants Office Accounts List used by your accountant into your company file.
Before you begin the import process, you must obtain from your accountant a text file (files with an extension of .txt) containing an accounts list from Accountants Office. To learn how to create the file, check the Accountants Office documentation.
