Reduced manual effort by eliminating spreadsheet exports and report rebuilds
Faster insight into project and financial performance with drill-down visibility to transactions
Working with Kilimanjaro Consulting, Revelop continues to scale with a connected finance and reporting environment
Fifteen years ago, Revelop was a growing property development business with ambition. Today, it owns and manages more than 80 properties across Australia, supports over 1,800 tenants and continues to expand a development pipeline worth $1 billion.
That growth didn’t happen by chance. It was underpinned by a deliberate shift to scalable systems – starting with MYOB Acumatica and later extending into Velixo for connected reporting.
As Head of Finance Paul Shrestha explains, “Revelop has expanded five times over since we implemented the MYOB Acumatica platform – and it’s easily scaled with us.”
Moving away from manual risk
When Paul joined Revelop in 2017, the business was managing more than 100 entities manually through an external tax agent. The arrangement had worked in the early years, but it wasn’t sustainable at scale. Financial visibility was limited. Reporting cycles were slow. Confidence in the numbers required constant back-and-forth.
The decision to bring finance in-house required more than a basic accounting system. It demanded a platform capable of handling complex inter-entity transactions, increasing volumes and future acquisitions.
After engaging Kilimanjaro Consulting to demonstrate the solution, the direction was clear.
“The demo is where it all started – and we haven’t looked back,” Paul says.
From day one, MYOB Acumatica provided the control and scalability Revelop needed.
Building a single source of truth
As Revelop grew, so did transaction volumes. With MYOB Acumatica, the business streamlined high-volume invoice processing, integrated accounts payable automation and connected property management systems directly to the ERP.
The impact was immediate.
MYOB Acumatica has saved us weeks of work, and with all our financial data in one centralised system, we have confidence in our numbers.
That centralised control extended to payroll and compliance as the team expanded nationally.
“We have staff right across Australia, so MYOB Acumatica helps make sure we’re calculating tax rates for our employees correctly,” says Paul.
The result: fewer manual touchpoints, reduced risk and stronger governance across a complex, multi-entity environment.
Elevating reporting with Velixo
As the business matured, reporting requirements intensified, particularly for funders and development stakeholders. Manual compilation was no longer viable.
By integrating Velixo, Revelop connected Excel directly to live ERP data, building a suite of financial reports that scale as new entities are added.
According to Kilimanjaro’s ANZ Manager, Michael Dracopoulos, “Using MYOB Acumatica with Velixo enables the team to be more efficient, saving on labour costs and spending less time on admin.”
For Revelop, this meant replacing weeks of manual preparation with real-time insight.
Previously, complex funder reporting could take weeks. Now, as Paul puts it, “we can do it with the click of a button.”
Beyond speed, the visibility has transformed performance oversight.
“With MYOB Acumatica, we can see our holding costs for our new development projects, which we can compare and check for variances on the previous year. That’s been a huge benefit,” he explains.
And critically, confidence in the numbers has strengthened across the organisation.
Overall, we’re really pleased with how MYOB Acumatica [and Velixo] generates our reports, which gives us confidence that what we’re presenting to internal and external stakeholders is accurate.
Foundations for continued growth
Revelop’s trajectory shows no signs of slowing. With major acquisitions underway and new developments in progress, the finance function must scale without adding unnecessary complexity.
The combination of MYOB Acumatica and Velixo has provided more than operational efficiency. It has given the business control, transparency and the ability to grow without outgrowing its systems.
We’re confident that as we grow and add more features with the ongoing support of Kilimanjaro, MYOB Acumatica will continue to help us achieve our business goals.
For organisations navigating multi-entity growth, complex reporting and rising stakeholder expectations, Revelop’s experience is clear: scalable ERP foundations, combined with connected Excel reporting, don’t just support growth. They enable it.
