Melbourne Royal is a unique not-for-profit organisation operating across three distinct areas: a major events venue, the Melbourne Royal Show, and a globally recognised food and beverage awards programme. With multiple business units and complex financial requirements, the organisation needed a finance system capable of supporting structure, scale, and flexibility.
Melbourne Royal’s previous accounting system was server-based and nearing end-of-life, forcing the organisation to re-evaluate its finance technology.
At the same time, finance processes were spread across multiple systems for purchasing and invoicing, creating inefficiencies and limiting visibility.
This fragmented setup made reporting more complex and increased the manual effort required across the finance team.

After evaluating several options, Melbourne Royal selected AccountsIQ for its usability, cost-effectiveness, and strong multi-entity capabilities.
The platform enabled the team to restructure their general ledger and align financial reporting with their organisational model.
A structured implementation process, supported by regular check-ins, ensured a smooth transition and successful go-live within four months.

The system has also enabled finance to better support the wider organisation, providing clearer insights and improved control.
