Xero’s conference in Australasia is one of the most watched among Xero accountants, globally. Australia and New Zealand have three elements required for the next generation of cloud accounting tools; a sufficiently advanced banking infrastructure, digitised tax departments, and a healthy local scene in third-party cloud business apps.
Both countries have two further advantages; a growing body of accountants and bookkeepers moving to 100% cloud accounting models, and a large market of SMEs looking for more accounting and technical support.
We will be updating this page throughout the conference with the latest stories. The latest will always be posted at the top.
