Announcing the winners of the MYOB Partner Awards for 2021

A huge thank you to those who nominated the deserving candidates of the 2021 MYOB Partner Awards, writes MYOB’s chief of sales and support, Daniel West.

Following another challenging year, we celebrated the efforts of all of those at The Heart of Business across Australia and New Zealand – the Certified Consultants, accountants, and bookkeepers who have worked relentlessly to support small, medium and large businesses.

Much of the work of this group of experts happened behind the scenes, providing trusted advice and service to businesses grappling with more uncertainty. In many ways, they have been the ‘unsung heroes’ – advising businesses to adapt and thrive and in doing so, helping to support our economy.

For businesses, these trusted advisors have been the lifeline of support, acting as a pillar of strength for clients during another period of change and challenge. And that’s why we’re delighted to be recognising the tenacity, competence and excellence of those within MYOB’s community.

Following a rigorous review by our judging panel – of which I was privileged to sit alongside Greg Ellis, MYOB chief executive; Caroline Rawlinson, MYOB chief financial officer; and Emma Fawcett, general manager SME – we’re excited to announce the winners of each category are as follows:
