MYOB ANZ partner award winners reflect diverse ecosystem

MYOB has named Stratus Consulting Group its ANZ Business Partner of the Year at the 2025 MYOB Acumatica Partner Awards. The awards night in Melbourne recognised 15 recipients across Australia and New Zealand.

The ceremony brought together MYOB's mid-market channel and app partners, with categories spanning sales, consultancy, customer experience, community, innovation, marketing and technology. Awards were presented to both partner firms and individuals.

Paul Voges, MYOB Executive General Manager, Mid-Market, said the awards reflect the role partners play in its mid-market ecosystem.

"MYOB's mid-market partners play a critical role in helping local ANZ businesses navigate complexity and scale their organisations with confidence, and these awards are about recognising the depth of expertise and commitment they bring to our ecosystem."

Top honours

Stratus Consulting Group took the evening's highest honour and also won Construction Partner of the Year for a second consecutive year.

MYOB framed the construction award as recognition of work supporting enterprise resource planning needs in the sector, citing leadership, impact, advocacy and services for construction businesses.

Momentum Software Solutions received Manufacturing Partner of the Year for the second year running, recognising partner work for manufacturing clients.

A new category, Business Development, went to Queensland-based Tonic Technologies for the highest year-on-year growth in new MYOB Acumatica business.

Individual awards

Acacia Consulting Services received the Community Award, and Kilimanjaro Consulting won the Customer Experience award.

Cognetics was named Rising Star of the Year, while Cloud Factory received the Wildcard award.

App partner focus

MYOB also highlighted app partners in a set of awards now in their second year. The segment reflects a broader push among software vendors to build ecosystems around core finance and operations platforms, with third-party applications extending functions such as reporting, payments and industry workflows.

Velixo won App of the Year. MYOB described it as a reporting and planning platform that connects Excel with cloud ERP systems such as MYOB Acumatica.

Eftsure was awarded New App of the Year. MYOB described it as a secure payment verification solution designed to reduce the risk of payment fraud.

Ordermentum received Innovative App of the Year. MYOB described it as a digital platform that streamlines ordering and supply management between wholesalers and customers.

The awards highlight the role partners play in MYOB's mid-market strategy across implementation, advisory services and adjacent software. Partner-led delivery is a standard model for many ERP vendors, particularly for mid-sized businesses that often rely on external expertise for configuration, industry templates and ongoing optimisation.

Voges said MYOB plans to continue building collaborative relationships across its mid-market partner community in Australia and New Zealand.

"What continues to stand out is not just the technical capability of our partners, but the way they show up for customers - investing in innovation, sharing their knowledge, and working side-by-side with businesses to deliver real outcomes. We're proud to celebrate their achievements and to continue building strong, collaborative partnerships that support the evolving needs of the mid-market."
