A team of 6 from the office recently attended the Xero Roadshow in Hamilton. The place was packed with accountants, bookkeepers, and small business owners, all ready to soak up some knowledge and connect with like-minded people. There was lots of learning and even a few surprises thrown into the mix.
So, what did we learn? First off, Xero is doubling down on automation. They’re rolling out some seriously cool tools to make your life easier, think streamlined data entry and more accurate financial reporting. But the real star of the show was JAX, which stands for Just Ask Xero. This new feature lets you get help and real-time answers right inside the platform, making it a total lifesaver when you’re stuck on something.
Xero’s also expanding its ecosystem big time. They’re teaming up with more apps and services, so you can manage everything—payroll, inventory, you name it—without ever leaving Xero. It’s like they’re turning Xero into the ultimate one-stop-shop for small businesses.
And let’s not forget about cybersecurity. The roadshow had some eye-opening sessions on keeping your digital tools safe. With cyber threats on the rise, Xero is making sure their platform is locked down tight.
All in all, the Xero Roadshow was an awesome chance to see what’s coming down the line and how to stay ahead of the curve.
