Discover how Yurra upgraded from MYOB AccountRight to Acumatica to enhance accounting efficiency and reporting accuracy.
Yurra, a majority Yindjibarndi-owned enterprise headquartered in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, delivers integrated services spanning civil and building construction, facilities maintenance, landscaping, surveying, and project management. Committed to empowering Aboriginal communities, Yurra champions local employment and sustainable growth. As operations scaled, financial management complexity increased, driving a strategic upgrade of their accounting and reporting systems.
Challenges in Legacy Systems
Chief Financial Officer Daksh Kakkar faced mounting inefficiencies as Yurra expanded. The MYOB AccountRight platform struggled under the weight of growing transaction volumes, causing frequent crashes and limited functionality. These constraints impacted productivity and compromised reporting accuracy. Daksh noted that weak internal controls—such as the ability to delete or alter transactions—posed significant governance risks for a rapidly growing organisation.
To strengthen financial governance and align workflows, Yurra sought advanced capabilities including:
- Approval maps
- Electronic purchase orders
- Enhanced security protocols
Solution: Transition to Acumatica ERP and Calxa Reporting
Partnering with Stratus Consulting Group, Yurra implemented Acumatica—a scalable, cloud-based ERP platform—through a comprehensive process covering system configuration, data migration, process mapping, and staff training. This collaboration ensured seamless integration with Yurra’s operational requirements and governance structures.
Acumatica delivered robust scalability and integration, but raw data alone wasn’t enough. To convert data into actionable insights, Yurra deployed Calxa for advanced reporting and forecasting. This combination eliminated reliance on error-prone spreadsheets and introduced real-time visibility across multiple entities.
Key Outcomes and Business Impact
The Acumatica-Calxa integration transformed Yurra’s financial management. Reporting cycles accelerated by 40–50%, freeing valuable time for strategic analysis. Calxa’s dynamic features—such as rolling cash flow forecasts, program-level reporting, and scenario planning—empowered proactive decision-making and risk management.
Enhanced visibility enabled Yurra to shift from reactive reporting to forward-looking financial strategy. Seamless data integration eliminated manual imports and duplication, reinforcing trust in financial accuracy. From board-level summaries to project-specific cash flow insights, Yurra now delivers timely, reliable information to stakeholders.
