A trip to Xerocon Sydney: Business is changing

In August Greg and I went to Xerocon 2014 in Sydney. What did we learn? There are Xero Add-ons for everything these days. If you can think of it, there’s an Add-on for it. In fact there are so many Add-ons out there that the Xerocon iPhone App had them and their exhibitors listed by category. For example: farming, inventory, invoicing, payroll, property management, share management, point of sale, media, CRM, benchmarking, financial reporting, cash flow, budgeting software, project management, and the list goes on.

Accounting for change: The Cloud is a good thing

The Small Business Accounting industry has been through a marked change in the last 10 years. Cloud-based accounting applications such as Xero, and the add-on apps that extend its functionality, have put powerful accounting software within the reach of business owners. As an ‘early adopter’, Alliott NZ first became involved with Xero six years ago and are now a Xero Gold Partner. They could already see the significant benefits it offered their clients. It enabled them to have a complete IT solution to suit their accounting needs at a fraction of the cost that they would have had to pay a few years earlier.
