All around Australia

Australia’s a big place, and with Xero being online it’s possible to serve customers and partners wherever they are. But it’s also nice to put a face to a name, which is what I’m doing this week in the Australian main centres. 

Over breakfast I’m getting to talk to accountants who are thinking about taking their business online, but want to know more. I’m also enjoying talking to accountants who are starting to convert clients on to Xero and who are noticing what a difference it’s making. There really are some accounting software horror stories out there.  

Many of the accountants I’m meeting have been searching a long time for a solution like Xero that gives them better control and visibility, plus the ability to make efficiencies when working with clients. A closer client relationship is the end game, but they realise this is not going to happen without a smart enablement platform. 

For a lot of accountants it’s a relief to learn that Xero won’t become between them and their clients. They love that our partner programme is free too. Another talking point is Xero’s ability to integrate with other solutions such as time tracking or e-commerce. Accountants really love this flexibility.

It was a full house in Melbourne today. Sydney’s tomorrow (where I’ll also host an after 5 session) and Brisbane on Friday. Phew!
