We are pleased to share the key findings from our study of the accounting and bookkeeping sector. This report involved engaging with over 600 accounting and bookkeeping professionals practising across the UK, from sole practitioners to large practices. 

For the fifth year in a row, Xero has taken out Canstar’s Most Satisfied Customer Award for small business accounting software.  This is an incredible achievement, showcasing our value to small businesses across Aotearoa New Zealand. 

The Xero Beautiful Business Fund has officially been open for one week and we’ve received an incredible response so far!  We have four funding categories that Xero small business customers can apply to.

It was great to see so many new and familiar faces from Xero’s accounting and bookkeeping community at Xerocon Sydney 2023. As always, day one featured a packed agenda – and you better believe the pace didn’t let up on day two.

Wow! What an exciting first Xerocon as CEO. Day one was full of so many inspiring moments. Of course, the best part was talking directly to our accounting and bookkeeping community about the critical role they play in the lives of small businesses.

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.

The hype around artificial intelligence (AI) is making small businesses feel that its development and adoption is moving at lightning speed. In fact, our new research shows that 80% of small business owners globally are concerned that the fast pace and nature of AI is leaving regulation in the dust.

Today marks day one of Xerocon Sydney and I’m so excited to share more details on a global initiative called the Xero Beautiful Business Fund.  Last month on Xero Day, the anniversary of the day where it all started for us 17 years ago, we announced the Xero Beautiful Business Fund as a way to help our small business customers boost their growth plans and drive future success.

Small business owners are well aware how hard it is for their customers right now, who are trying to stretch their budgets to cover the rising cost of household bills, transport, housing and debt repayments.
