Morphology

EOM = end + month (semi-transparent) = E + O + M

The initialism directly represents the common phrase 'end of month', so learners who recognise initials and the base words can infer the meaning. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]

Etymology

EOM stands for end of month, meaning 'last day of the month', and is used in business to mark deadlines or dates at the month’s end. That is why people write EOM when they mean something must happen by the month's last day.
