Xero acquires Spotlight Workpapers

Workpapers is in beta use by over 100 Accounting and Bookkeeping Partners. We’ll continue to build out the functionality and scalability of the software and release it under the Xero brand in March 2013 for the Australian and New Zealand markets.

Congratulations to Richard and Julie Francis who will continue to be involved in product development and operation of the software.
