We’re back at the desk after a week at Xerocon.
We had a great time reconnecting with our favourite app partners, chatting up some new ones, hearing where our industry might be heading, being motivated & uplifted and hanging out with our peers & friendly competitors.
There was a focus on AI, Will Buckley Xero AU country manager said: I’m going to be really clear: AI should not take anyone’s job in this profession. Building trust, having meaningful conversations informed by data, and harnessing the latest technology, is where the real magic happens.

Xero has announced the launch of the Xero Beautiful Business Fund, backing small businesses for the future. There is more than NZ$750,000 up for grabs. Regional winners will win $20k AUD and if you are 1 of the 4 global winners – another $50k AUD!

Our office will be closed for the rest of the week so we can all attend Xerocon (coachella for accountants and bookkeepers).
How does this disruption benefit our clients?
We’ll come back refreshed with new ideas, more knowledge (and app options) and a better understanding of the world of small business.
See you next week!

Our office will be closed between Tuesday 22nd – Friday 25th August so the whole team can be social butterflies at the biggest conference for bookkeepers and accountants.
If you have anything that needs attention prior to Monday 28th, get in touch now.
We won’t be lodging your BAS or IAS next week, please sign now!

We’re seeing reports of scam emails with fake payslips for employees.
The easiest way to prevent employees clicking on hoax emails (and scammers getting access to your system), is not to send payslips by email.
XeroMe is available, for free, for all employees. They can access payslips, submit leave requests and check annual leave balances, and submit timesheets (if you use them).
Ask us to get you and your team setup.
