Asia Roadshow 2026: The future of your practice awaits

Today’s accounting and bookkeeping practices face constant change, from rapid technological shifts to evolving client demands. As industry leaders look ahead, they’re asking a crucial question: how do I prepare my firm to move forward and grow when the landscape keeps shifting?

Very soon, accounting and bookkeeping professionals from across Asia will come together to connect, learn and address that very question. 

Our Asia Roadshows, taking place in Malaysia and Singapore on 20 and 27 October respectively, are anchored in the theme Elevate today, own tomorrow. From modernising workflows with AI to having more meaningful conversations with clients, our programme will map out what modern practices can do now to come out ahead.

Stay curious about what comes next with Tan Kheng Hua

In volatile times, staying open and adaptable becomes more important than ever.

Award-winning actor and producer Tan Kheng Hua, known for her roles in Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd, Crazy Rich Asians and Netflix’s Marco Polo, joins us for a special guest session exploring the value of remaining curious, embracing the unfamiliar and continuing to learn. 

In her session, Staying curious: Adapting to a future that feels like magic, Kheng Hua draws on a career shaped by reinvention to share how an open mindset has helped her navigate change with greater confidence, even when the path ahead wasn’t clear. It’s a perspective that transcends industries and can inspire accountants and bookkeepers to stay inquisitive and continue innovating, even as things constantly evolve. 

Discover what leading firms are doing differently with the Modern Practice Playbook

At Roadshow, we’ll unpack the Modern Practice Playbook, a research-based guide examining how top-performing firms are redesigning their operations, from doubling down on AI to optimising their service portfolios.

In Malaysia, the Playbook has already revealed concrete insights; for instance, top-performing practices that deeply embed AI into daily workflows save an average of 8.5 hours a week and RM205,000 annually. At our Singapore Roadshow, we’ll unveil new findings for the first time, exploring how else leading practices are evolving and experimenting for the future.

Together, these insights offer a broader look at what it takes to build a future-ready practice. Whether you’re operating in an established or fast-growing market, you’ll walk away with answers to a universal question: what are firms doing today to put themselves in a stronger position tomorrow? 

Put the ideas into action with practical sessions

Across the day, you’ll also learn about the latest Xero innovations and practical applications of AI, along with smarter approaches to bookkeeping and client advisory. You’ll hear from industry experts, connect with peers navigating many of the same changes and discover ideas you can take back to your practice.

You’ll also have the opportunity to explore solutions from across the Xero ecosystem and meet exhibitors who can help you solve real challenges for your firm and clients.

Whether you want to work more efficiently, unlock more value for your clients or simply get a clearer view of where the profession is heading, Roadshow is designed to help turn the possibilities of tomorrow into practical action today.
