“The Xero partner consulting team helped us to understand the challenges of MTD and how we can streamline our practice to become more efficient moving to the cloud. If you're still using spreadsheets and bridging software, then you are spending more time on a given task than you really need to and producing something that's not the same value of output – being a Xero partner is a no-brainer.”
– Georgi Rollings, Director of Starfish Accounting
