MoAD faced a variety of management challenges due to a growing number of visitor experiences, school tours and exhibitions. Its legacy finance system was slow and cumbersome, requiring lengthy training for new staff to be able to use it.

“We knew we needed something more intuitive and user-friendly,” says Nick Hetherington, Acting CFO at MoAD. “Our finance staff were spending too much time handling requests for information from various departments.

As well as needing a cleaner, simpler way of managing its accounts, MoAD wanted better reporting capabilities and for its staff to access information for themselves. The search began for a replacement system.

MYOB Advanced Business has transformed MoAD’s financial management. “We’ve been able to easily, very flexibly, set up a range of new accounts that gives us a whole new level of detail that we didn’t have before,” Nick says.

Advanced Business has removed a significant amount of manual data entry by automating purchase orders, AP payments and AR requests. Paperwork coming into the Finance department has been cut by up to 75%.  “Under the old system, any change for a report had to be done by one of our consultants and they would usually have to come on site to do it, so it would take a long time. Now with the MYOB Report Writer we can customise reports very quickly and easily, and get them to the people who need to see them a lot faster."

Nick himself finds Advanced Business’s cloud access especially convenient. “It creates a flexible working environment where you’re not tied down to your desk; I can attend offsite meetings and still go out and have our MYOB information available.”
