    Datin Yap Shin Siang, group chief executive officer of YYC shared that digitalisation is the cornerstone of modern business efficiency, and the acquisition of MYWave is a strategic move for the organisation.

    “With our investment in MYWave, we are not just welcoming another valuable partner; we are committing to a future where HR and payroll processes are seamlessly integrated with technology. Our goal is to elevate our clients’ operational capabilities by equipping them with these advanced digital solutions that will drive significant value to the stakeholders,” said Datin Yap.

    “This acquisition represents a major step towards achieving that vision, and reflects both the organisations’ dedication to driving innovation and excellence in business advisory services.”

    Cash flow and people are often described as the “blood” and “muscle” of a business; both are needed to run a healthy business. The combination of YYC and MYWave empowers businesses to secure financial resources and the talented people they need to succeed.

    The collaboration between YYC and MYWave is set to bring mutual benefits, leveraging each other’s strengths to deliver unparalleled solutions to clients.

    MYWave chief executive officer Khoo Siew Lin expressed that MYWave’s extensive offerings, including payroll outsourcing and Cloud HRMS, align effectively with YYC’s mission to simplify business processes for its clients.

    “Payroll outsourcing enables firms to distribute the cost of hiring an internal payroll department, reducing the financial burden on businesses. Partnering with YYC to enhance HR service technology and tax accounting capabilities is a natural fit for all,” said Khoo.

    “Together, we seek to empower Malaysian businesses by adopting digital solutions to drive efficiency, transparency, and growth, which we strongly believe is a great move that will benefit our customers, employees and shareholders.”

    As YYC and MYWave embark on this transformative journey, this acquisition is poised to set new benchmarks in the HR and payroll industry, providing businesses with robust, reliable, and scalable solutions.
