2024 marks the 13th year of the awards, which recognises the efforts and success of high performing Enterprise channel partners and ISVs over the past 12 months.
MYOB partners from across Australia and New Zealand were joined by MYOB executives including CEO Paul Robson, Enterprise General Manager – Kim Clarke, and Chief Marketing Officer – Dean Chadwick, to celebrate excellence across sales, consultancy, customer service, innovation, and marketing, with 12 awards handed out this year.
Reflecting on 2023 and remarking on this year’s award winners, MYOB General Manager-Enterprise, Kim Clarke, said: “Our Enterprise partner community is passionate about the value they deliver to customers and these awards are a wonderful moment for us to come together to celebrate and recognise their efforts.
“We are incredibly proud to work alongside such a high-calibre, customer-centric network of partners, and every one of our award winners are true exemplars in their category.
“Despite some challenging economic conditions on both sides of the Tasman, the past 12 months have seen some impressive results from our channel partners and ISVs. Our multi award-winning ERP platform, MYOB Advanced, is increasingly becoming the mid-market choice for businesses looking to digitise processes and simplify their business platform environment,” Kim explained.
“Given the momentum we’ve seen in 2023, I have no doubt about the impact that MYOB and our Partner community could make this year, as we support even more mid-market customers to achieve their ambitions as they modernise, secure and grow their businesses.”

“Our Partner of the Year award goes to the partner that achieves excellence across a range of areas – from exceptional consultancy and customer service, to superior sales performance,” Kim Clarke added. “Ultimately, this is a partner we see consistently delivering high-quality best-practice outcomes right through the process.
“I’d like to offer special congratulations to Kilimanjaro Consulting - a multi award-winning partner who have again taken home the ANZ Partner of the Year award, this time for 2023.
“This year, we also added a new award - the Advanced Community Award. This award recognises a partner who went above and beyond in supporting the entire MYOB Advanced community to become stronger tomorrow than we are today. It was my privilege, and with my sincere thanks, to award this to Stratus Consulting.”
Of their win, Kilimanjaro Consulting CEO - Ronnie Baskind, explained that the business’s partnership with MYOB has a solid history behind it and the team is now looking ahead to the future.
“Our partnership with MYOB extends back to 2006, when we made a strategic decision to align ourselves exclusively with the MYOB brand and their company mission to help more Australian and New Zealand businesses to start, survive and succeed. What appeared to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with the desktop products then in the Enterprise division, was realised, and we grew to be MYOB’s largest partner in that space. With the advent of its cloud solutions, we again committed ourselves to MYOB, and so began a second opportunity of a lifetime,” said Ronnie.
“We are grateful for the support that MYOB has given us in our continuing journey. This recognition is a testament to our dedicated team and our loyal clients. We look forward to the next decade and foresee unbridled growth off the back of the impact that new technologies are having on business efficiency.”
