There are so many reasons to nominate your practice or company for a Xero Award:

Whether or not you’re crowned a winner or not, it’s an excellent opportunity to reflect on your achievements and bring them to light.

If you’re announced a winner, you’ll be sent a Xero Awards winners pack to promote your award win. This includes:

• A trophy to take pride in or place in your office.
• Digital assets including social tiles to promote your award win.
