Using MYOB Solo for Sole Traders and Freelancers

This is part of our Getting Started with MYOB Business series (Chapter 1 of the MYOB tutorial hub):

  • Lesson 1: Understanding MYOB Products and Choosing the Right One
  • Lesson 2: Setting Up Your MYOB Business File
  • Lesson 3: Building Your Chart of Accounts in MYOB
  • Lesson 4: Using MYOB Solo for Sole Traders and Freelancers

If you are a sole trader working largely on your own, MYOB Solo is built to keep things simple.

1. Invoicing from your phone

Create and send invoices directly from the app, without needing to be at a desk.

2. Capturing receipts as you go

Photograph receipts as you get them, so nothing ends up lost by the time you need to claim it.

3. Getting paid on the spot

Tap to Pay lets clients pay by card directly through your phone, useful if you are doing work in person.

4. Knowing when to move up a plan

If you take on staff or need more detailed reporting, that is usually the sign it is time to move from Solo to a Business plan.

MYOB’s official YouTube channel has Solo walkthroughs: watch the official MYOB tutorial. Our registered BAS agents can help you know when it is time to step up to a bigger plan.
