Xero Blog

At Xero, we’re big believers in using cloud technology to unlock efficiency and power small business success. Every week we hear success stories from small businesses and advisors about how using apps has helped them do just that.

Today we announced Xero’s full year financial and operating results to 31 March 2021 (FY21).  Over the last year, we’ve focused on responding to the immediate needs of our customers, continuing to introduce new products and services and executing our growth strategy, demonstrated by a significant capital raise, and a number of important acquisitions. 

We’re thrilled to announce that Xero has been recognised as one of Australia and New Zealand’s Best Places to Work. The prestigious annual list, published by The Australian Financial Review and Boss Magazine, is based on a rigorous assessment process that’s backed by behavioural science research.

If you know me, there is nothing I like better than getting together with the Xero community of accountants, bookkeepers, small businesses and app partners.  Some of my favourite memories in the time I’ve been at Xero have been at our events, particularly Xerocons.

It’s fair to say the past 12 months have been tumultuous for the majority of the world’s population. The impact of COVID-19 has truly tested people emotionally and financially, and upended entire industries.

Today, we’re excited to announce the acquisition of Tickstar, which provides e-invoicing infrastructure and expertise to governments and businesses around the world. We currently use Tickstar’s technology to connect Xero customers to e-invoicing networks in Australia and New Zealand.

Respecting the planet and supporting a more sustainable future is something we take very seriously at Xero, and we know it’s front of mind for many of our people and customers around the globe.

Xero is built on partnerships and is committed to working with a large ecosystem of like-minded companies who can help us achieve our purpose of making life better for people in small business, their advisors and communities around the world.

Today we’re pleased to announce that Xero has agreed to buy Planday, a workforce management platform that will help us deliver on our purpose to make life better for people in small business, their advisors and communities around the world.
