MYOB Acumatica for sophisticated financial reporting

Wouldn’t you like to be able to task your finance team with finding answers to nuanced, high-level questions, rather than waiting on them to compile and double-check transactions and end-of-month reports? 

MYOB Acumatica gives you access to accurate reports and interactive dashboards that offer a clear picture of financial health within specific departments and projects, and across your entire operation. Financial reporting tailored for your needs is easy to deliver when you work with us to implement MYOB Acumatica. 

You can effortlessly generate whole-of-company reports such as:

• Balance sheet
• Profit and loss
• Cash flow
• Sales and product performance
• Company consolidation 
• Profit centre reporting

And you can quickly drill down into reports to see the source transactions for more detail or determine the root of certain results.

MYOB Acumatica streamlines the work of creating multiple reports for different parts of the business required at close periods, or on an ad hoc basis to inform major investment or strategic planning decisions. 

Because it’s a centralised database with automated features, MYOB Acumatica also reduces errors and improves efficiency. Working in the cloud with up-to-the-minute data makes it easy to distribute and act on information when it counts—not weeks or months later. 

Adopting a cloud ERP solution of the calibre of MYOB Acumatica will not only enhance your ability to see and control finances—it supports an uplift in the performance of your finance team. They’ll have less ‘grunt work’ and greater bandwidth to contribute strategically or investigate opportunities to cut costs and grow revenue.

Multi-entity, multi-location, and multi-currency accounting is simplified

The business environment is increasingly complex. Even small operations may depend on multiple brands, revenue streams, ABNs, branches, and partners to deliver its products and services or enhance the value chain. 

As your business grows, convoluted structures and relationships that were easy to manage at first become more difficult to keep track of and manage effectively—at the heart of this complexity is usually finances. 

There’s an increased effort (and more opportunities for mistakes) when you’re running multiple accounts, ledgers, and entities spread across multiple locations.

MYOB Acumatica comes with everything you need to manage complex finances including:

• Great localisation tools for BAS, bank feeds and reconciliations
• Ability to configure multiple entities (ABN’s) in a single database 
• Creation of sub-accounts and allocation of expenses by cost centre
• Data segmentation by applying multiple dimensions in the chart of accounts
• High-level consolidated reporting across multiple companies
• Straightforward and automated inter-company transactions
• Support for multiple currencies so you can buy and sell overseas 
• Automated tools to adjust gains and losses from foreign exchange rates
• Ability to prepare statements in foreign currencies or translate statements 

In addition, because MYOB Acumatica is a flexible, market-leading solution, a range of complementary and third-party applications are available to extend its functionality. For instance, you might want to integrate applications for optical character recognition (OCR), AP or expense management automation, or more advanced reporting and business intelligence.
