Many will know that a generalisation of anyone who works in an accountancy practice is that we are a bit grey, you know boring, nothing interesting to say other than quote tax legislation to you at parties….. Well think again!

For the past seven years, October has been the trigger for the countdown to Xerocon to begin. This year is no exception and already we are getting giddy with excitement as this gives us the opportunity to meet with app-partners. our amazing friends and team at Xero and our peers.
