Instead of MYOB Practice Compliance
Stop stretching MYOB Practice Compliance past lodgment. Run your own ATO letters register.
Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your team opens, reviews and passes on ATO mail, brings your MYOB client list across, and runs it for you. Lodge where you lodge today; the follow-up lives in a database you own.
MYOB does not publish prices for Core or Pro Compliance. Starter is listed as free for MYOB partners, and the other tiers are quoted privately through MYOB's Speak to an expert contact.

What the MYOB tiers sell
A lodgment platform priced by tier, with the ATO's replies left to your inbox
The tiers step up through mapping, statements, tax lodgment and workpapers. The work after lodgment, when the assessment, the debt letter or the plan default lands, is not what the product is built around.
A price you only learn on a call
Core and Pro Compliance carry no public price. Starter is free to MYOB partners, which ties the cheap tier to the partner programme.
Features gated by tier
Tax lodgment and financial statements start at Core. Advanced workpapers and consistent preparation across the team sit in Pro.
Due dates on the ATO's schedule
The activity statement report refreshes once a day at 2:00 am and the income tax report once a week, at times the practice cannot change.
Nothing on what the ATO sends back
Its product and help pages list lodgment, deadlines and documents. Notices of assessment and ATO letters are not mentioned.
Reports you filter by hand
The Client Lodgment report comes out as a spreadsheet, and MYOB's advice is to filter it in Excel. It may also hold tax file numbers.
Your client history on their platform
Workspaces, documents, tasks, history and the portal all sit inside the subscription.
What you get instead
The half of tax season that starts when the ATO replies
Arrivals
Each ATO letter matched to the client the day it lands
Your team saves practice mail from ATO Online and scans of paper letters into one folder. Claude reads each one, links it to the right client and records the amounts and dates inside it.
- check One pass each morning, however much arrived overnight
- check Letters it cannot place wait for a person, confirmed on the last three TFN digits
- check A list of letters no client has heard about yet, oldest at the top
- check A turnaround target set by the practice, with late letters flagged
Checking
Every notice set against the return you lodged
The figure you expected sits next to the figure the ATO assessed. Any gap needs a written reason before a client is told.
- check The difference shown in dollars, with the reason beside it
- check Gaps left open past 30 days raised, while objection time remains
- check No client letter drafted for a notice nobody has checked
- check Practice rules, each citing its source, run over every record in one go
Clients
Who owes the ATO, by when, and whether they know
One view of every amount owing across the client base, its due date and the date the client was told.
- check Amounts due inside 14 days with no client contact, at the top every morning
- check Payment plan instalments followed, so a missed one is caught
- check Letters in your practice's name, drafted for a person to read and send
- check Overdue lodgments listed first
Ownership
Records the practice keeps, with no full TFNs
Plain records in a database the practice owns, on one laptop or shared across the office, with no tier to unlock the questions.
- check The database will not store more than the last three digits of a tax file number
- check Questions across family groups, staff workloads and years of letters
- check Works alongside MYOB, or whatever lodgment tool you move to
- check MIT licence, so taking your records elsewhere is never a project

Switching
How to switch from MYOB Practice Compliance
The move is mainly exporting the MYOB client and lodgment report, mapping its columns, choosing which ATO letters to bring, and checking the imported records before you rely on the register.
- 1
Export your MYOB records
Download MYOB's Client Lodgment report as an Excel spreadsheet. It includes client details, lodgment status, due dates, liabilities and account balances, and MYOB warns it may contain TFNs. Check with MYOB if you need other records or export options, since the available exports depend on your account.
- 2
Gather the ATO letters
Collect the PDFs of past ATO letters that you want in the new register. Those letters come from documents you already hold, not from an ATO connection. Choose how much history to bring, and keep the original documents available while you check the imported records.
- 3
Map and test the import
The columns in MYOB's report differ from the register's import fields, so map them before loading the records. Enterprise DNA can map the report and check the counts, or you can ask Claude Code to map it. Start with the import's test run, if offered, and review the result before loading the records for use.
- 4
Review the import results
Check the imported client and lodgment counts against the MYOB report, and review any warnings or records the import did not accept. The import reports how many TFNs it shortened to their last three digits. Resolve problems you find, then check that the ATO letters you chose are matched to the right clients.
- 5
Keep MYOB for lodgment
Run both systems side by side for a short period, checking the correspondence register against the work your team handles. ATO Correspondence for Claude Code takes over after lodgment, not preparation or lodgment itself. Keep MYOB for those jobs, or move them to another tool before switching off MYOB Practice Compliance.
Where the real effort goes
The hands-on work is usually mapping your own fields and rules, then deciding how much past correspondence to bring and checking that it landed correctly. The MYOB report's columns do not match the import fields directly. When Enterprise DNA runs the system for you, it maps the report and checks the counts.

Questions
Instead of MYOB Practice Compliance, answered
Do we stop using MYOB Practice Compliance? expand_more
Not for lodging. The free version prepares and lodges nothing with the ATO. It takes over after lodgment: the notice that comes back, whether it matches, what you told the client and what is still owed. Keep MYOB, or any lodgment tool, for the returns themselves.
Can our MYOB data come across? expand_more
Your client list can. MYOB's Client Lodgment report downloads as a spreadsheet with client details, lodgment status and due dates. Its columns differ from the free version's import, so Enterprise DNA maps it and checks the counts, or you ask Claude Code to map it. Past ATO letters come in from the PDFs you already hold.
That MYOB report can include tax file numbers. What happens to them? expand_more
They are cut to the last three digits on the way in, and the import tells you how many it shortened. The database refuses anything longer, and no client letter ever shows one.
Does it pull from the ATO the way MYOB does? expand_more
Not the free version, and it keeps no ATO credential. It reads the mail your team downloads from ATO Online and scans of paper letters. If you want a direct feed, Enterprise DNA builds one for your practice under your own access.
Is it cheaper than MYOB? expand_more
MYOB does not publish its Core or Pro prices, so we cannot compare from here. Bring your MYOB quote to the call and we will set it against our setup fee and retainer for the work the register takes on.
Lodging is half the job. Own the other half.
