* I called MYOB today (21/2/2017) and now they only offer one month of free read-only access to a MYOB Essential account after the subscription has been cancelled. Read-only means you can view but not edit any previous entered sales, expenses, transactions, etc. Read only access was previously allowed for 12 months after subscription cancellation but it looks like MYOB now wants to force people to keep paying.
