The company also provides services to government agencies and not-for-profit organisations.

MYOB General Manager - Accountants Division Adam Ferguson says, “We are very pleased to work with Crowe Horwath - a prestigious firm ranked in the top 10 global accounting networks - in enhancing its cloud accounting and business advisory services. The partnership is the next step to an already fruitful and long-standing relationship, and we look forward to supporting Crowe Horwath and their clients in their journey to the cloud.”

Some of the biggest payoffs of cloud accounting solutions include saving time on manual data entry with bank feeds, reducing rework, increasing collaboration and productivity, and strengthening client relationships.

“With cloud accounting solutions, Crowe Horwath can work more efficiently with client data and provide real-time business advisory services. More than half of new MYOB registrations across Australia and New Zealand are for cloud accounting solutions, with this increasing each month as more business owners and managers realise the benefits,” says Mr Ferguson.

Crowe Horwath’s Cloud Sponsor & Group Chief Information Officer, Greg Emsley, says cloud accounting is a key priority for the business in developing enhanced engagement with clients. “Cloud accounting solutions allow us to provide real time advice on up to date information to businesses, helping them develop and grow.
