Xero Blog

It was an absolute privilege to speak at my very first Xero Singapore Roadshow last week – our first major in-person event in nearly three years. What an incredible day it was, meeting the more than 750 accountants and bookkeepers who showed up to engage with the community, share their knowledge and expertise.

Xero app partner Projectworks has been working closely with Aerium Analytics, a Calgary-based technology company that uses data automation and analytics to provide geospatial intelligence, inspection, and wildlife management services using aerial drones. 

In the House of Lords last week, I watched as we launched our manifesto to support small business recovery. Surrounded by our amazing accounting and bookkeeping partners and small business customers, I understood the magnitude of what we are fighting for. 

We’re incredibly excited to share that Baker Tilly Canada has achieved Xero’s Platinum Partner status, which demonstrates the audit, tax and advisory network is helping to lead the way with the future of cloud accounting in Canada.

Every business, regardless of size, needs a voice.  But smaller businesses find it harder to get out and promote their brands and services. This may be cost-related, or due to a lack of PR experience.

From late November 2022, we’re introducing a new safety measure for automatic superannuation (auto super) payments within Xero Payroll. This requirement will see new and existing customers connect an active bank feed to their registered auto super account. 

Today, we presented our “Small business. Big opportunity” manifesto to the UK Government. In this report, we’ve made some crucial recommendations to deliver meaningful policy support to small businesses – the backbone of our economy. 

If you’re an accountant or bookkeeper, you’ll know that having consistent information across your practice management tools is vital. That’s why we’re working hard to create a single source of truth for your client data across Xero Practice Manager (XPM), Xero HQ and Xero Tax.

Ask any small business owner what the key to running a smooth operation is, and chances are, they’ll all tell you the same thing –  positive cash flow. But when contending with pressures like late payments, rising expenses and seasonal slowdowns, many need extra support to stay out of the red.
