MYOB’s chief executive officer Tim Reed said he was pleased with the result and described the transformation delivered in the MYOB business over the last three years as an outstanding achievement.
“I am immensely proud of what has been accomplished in a short period. We continue to expand our cloud solutions across all areas of our business with 67 per cent of new MYOB SME clients choosing our innovative cloud solutions in Q4 2014.”
In a statement, the software provider flagged further developments it says will boost the company further in 2015.
“MYOB will launch ‘MYOB Portal’, a cloud product for accountants using MYOB Accountants Office and MYOB Accountants Enterprise,” the statement read.
“MYOB Portal is aimed at delivering significant benefits in online collaboration to make their business life easier for accountants and their clients. The organisation also has plans to take the highly regarded BankLink product to the cloud in the future so that accountants can leverage the same functionality they love with all the benefits of cloud.”
The financial results come as speculation increases of an MYOB IPO in coming months.
