MYOB CEO Tim Reed, who presented the award during the gala dinner in Sydney, said,”2 Peas exemplify the qualities of the business experts in our extensive nationwide MYOB Partner network.

2 Peas co-founder and director Pam Pitt said, “We are very honoured to have been selected as MYOB’s Partner of the Year for 2013 – it is an amazing accolade, especially when there is such an impressive array of talent and experience amongst the MYOB Certified Consultants.

“We believe the next year will be a very exciting one for 2 Peas and MYOB. The move to cloud based accounting is gathering pace, and MYOB is in the great position of delivering the fastest cloud based accounting software in Australia. This will bring a huge number of new cloud users into the market.

“Maureen is a popular and valued member of our Partner network. She is highly respected by her peers and is often described as friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Her loyalty to and support for her clients, her fellow Partners and MYOB since 1993 is integral to our success. Maureen is a true professional,” said Tim.

MYOB Lifetime Achievement Award

Ms Burmeister said, “I am deeply honoured by this special recognition. It has been an enormous pleasure to be part of the ongoing story of the growth of MYOB in Australia. My role as a MYOB Certified Consultant began over 22 years ago when I was involved in the introduction of MYOB to the Australian market. Over all those years, I have been proud to present to my clients business solutions that make their compliance headaches go away.

“I have been particularly gratified to have been able to have input into the development of aspects of the product, especially in the areas of payroll and user training forums. I have loved dealing with my many and varied clients, most have been a delight to deal with and some have become life-long friends.

An outstanding 90 partners received long-service awards for 20, 15 and 10 years of service at our PartnerConnection conference this year.
