MEDIA ALERT

New deal sees MYOB launch exclusive offer for not-for-profits through Connecting Up

MYOB is pleased to announce an exclusive offer for not-for-profit organisations in Australia and New Zealand that subscribe to receive special offers through Connecting Up, to empower them to better manage their accounting.

The offer includes an unprecedented, limited-time discount on MYOB’s cloud-enabled software AccountRight Live, the desktop-only version, AccountRight, and MYOB’s easy web-based accounting solution LiveAccounts. It also comprises free AccountRight Live training.

All interested organisations must login or register to the Connecting Up website for further information.

MYOB spokesperson Simon Dennis says, “Not for profits work hard, often with little resource, to support the many Australians who rely heavily on them. MYOB is pleased to help out with a significant discount on our cloud accounting solutions, to enable these valued organisations to improve their bookkeeping and reporting.

“Quality financial insights and streamlined accounting processes will no doubt make a difference to their cashflow management, offering solid insights into their ability to assign funds where it’s really needed.

“For example, MYOB BankLink’s accurate, reliable and secure bank feeds ensure business bank transactions are automatically fed daily into AccountRight Live or LiveAccounts and coded for clients. This also reduces time spent on admin, giving not-for-profits more time to spend with their clients and grow their business.”

Connecting Up Chief Executive Officer Anne Gawen says, “Financial management is one of the biggest challenges for every not-for-profit organisation. Knowing where each dollar goes is essential to earning the much needed trust and support of funders. We’re thankful for the generosity of MYOB; this unique discount will make their accounting software more accessible to charitable organisations across Australia and New Zealand.”

Leading budget and cash flow software provider and MYOB developer partner, Calxa, has already donated $500,000 worth of software for Connecting Up members.

Calxa CEO Mick Devine says, “We’re delighted to see MYOB working with the Connecting Up community. The new partnership will make a big difference to smaller not-for-profits, enabling them to streamline their accounting processes while directing scarce resources towards operational needs.”
