Xero Blog

We just kicked off day one of Xerocon — the vibe and the atmosphere in Sydney is fantastic! Our leadership team — including new Chief Product Officer, Diya Jolly — shared the latest enhancements to our platform that will help accountants and bookkeepers grow their practice, help their clients succeed, and get the most out of Xero.

This year’s US Roadshows were nothing short of inspiring, with accounting, bookkeeping and app partners showing up from all over the country to attend our events in Austin, Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Last updated 27 July 2023 Changes are coming to the contact overview page We wanted to share the next step in improving the contacts experience in Xero, helping you better manage the relationships with your customers and suppliers, as well as your cash flow.

There’s now a little over a month to go before old reports in Xero are retired. Our new reports are packed with powerful customisations that will help you get quick access to answers and streamline your financial analysis.

We’ve made some great progress towards creating a single source of truth for your client data. It’s all part of our work to connect our practice tools, so that in the future, as you manage your clients’ tax obligations in Xero, the data flows seamlessly into our practice management tools.

We’ve made some great progress towards creating a single source of truth for your client data across Xero Practice Manager (XPM), Xero HQ and Xero Tax. This is an important part of our work to connect our practice tools, so you can work more efficiently, collaborate with your clients more effectively and get the most out of the entire Xero platform. 

It’s often said that (almost) no one goes into business to do their own accounting. So it’s no surprise that many entrepreneurs lean heavily on a trusted advisor for support, particularly around busy times like EOFY when tax, compliance, payroll and other business obligations come into play. 

There’s now a little over two months to go before old reports in Xero are retired. Over the past year, we’ve been encouraging you to make the switch, with lots of education, support and advice from other small business owners and their advisors.

Managing people is one of the biggest challenges faced by small businesses. The complexity of payroll obligations makes this even more of a burden. In fact, last year we surveyed small businesses across Australia and found that 37% were worried they would accidentally pay their staff incorrectly.
