What do we mean by 'dinosaur accountants'?
What do we mean when we talk about Dinosaur Accountants?
How to spot a dinosaur:
- Gets you to send months of receipts in one go
- Only speaks to you near the financial year-end
- Doesn’t offer any proactive tax planning
- Makes no attempt to understand your business or industry
- Heavily relies on outdated technology that isn’t fit for purpose (i.e Excel Spreadsheets…)
- Speaks in accounting jargon.
The time for accounting dinosaurs is over, find out how we do things differently and get in touch today!
Why do we only use Xero?
Xero to Hero. Yes, it's fair to say we love Xero.
Why Xero? Why not any other of the hundreds of accounting software out there? In short, Xero speaks the language of business owners. There’s no industry jargon, it’s easy to use and is specifically aimed at business owners rather than accountants. So if you haven’t used Xero before, don’t fret. After a bit of training with our onboarding team, you’ll be a master in no time. We pride ourselves in being one of the best Xero Advisors in the country. For us, it’s the clear front-runner in the digital accountancy arms race.
What is the 'App Stack' ?
You might have heard this one bandied around by accountants before, and no, we're not talking about Angry Birds.
The App Stack is a fancy way of talking about the apps you choose as part of your Finance Function. The best way to picture it is similar to a smartphone. In this example, let’s imagine Xero is your smartphone. It’s the main platform that we use, it houses everything and bring it all together in one place. Just as you can download apps onto your smartphone, you can also add other apps to Xero depending on what functionality you want. There are all kinds of Apps that integrate with Xero, from receipt scanning, to invoice chasing, cashflow forecasting, e-commerce and management accounting. All of these apps integrate with Xero and give you even more information about your business.
