Xero Blog

Xero’s app marketplace has over 800 apps to help small businesses and their advisors succeed. Our ‘Get the Appvantage’ series brings to life how small businesses from around the world use apps to help them thrive.

As we explored in our first-ever digital Xero Roadshow, for bookkeepers and accountants, 2020 was a year like no other. From helping small businesses navigate COVID-19 to adapting their own practices in light of the pandemic, Xero partners rose to the challenge – time and again.
