It’s hard to imagine delivering our services to clients without Xero. It allows us to connect with them on a day-to-day basis and really get to know their business. So much so, that we strongly persuade everyone joining us to use this beautiful accounting technology. It is definitely the best solution all round in our eyes.
Xero makes us efficient through far better data collection. Tools such as Receipt Bank, Xero Ask and bank feeds make life so much easier. We have a diverse range of SME clients and being able to set them up with a tool to share data is a great time saver for them and us. It gives peace of mind that everything is being taken care of. No more piles of paperwork to worry over.
Evans & Partners are delighted to be one of just 3 finalists nationally for the Xero Mid-Size Firm of the Year Award this year. Olly Evans, Owner Director, has been a proud advocate and evangelist of cloud accounting since 2010 when Evans & Partners were one of the first UK Xero partner firms. Today we are a Xero Platinum Partner.
Xero means we can be innovative with our accounting solutions. We are increasingly moving away from the traditional year-end focus driven by clients wanting a more proactive approach.
Subscription based ‘Real Time Accounting‘ – many clients wants to process their own records on Xero (it’s easy) but want an accountant to check it, or they ask us to do everything. By using cloud technology this service becomes cost-effective and gives confidence that there are no hidden problems.
Love My Business Service – Xero is fundamental for us to provide our cost-effective advisory service. We can quickly access information and explain how a client’s business is doing, often leading to profit and cash improvement solutions. Our clients attend Quarterly Advisory meetings where we focus on business performance and goals.
Linking Xero with Spotlight Reporting helps us to provide easy-to-digest financial information. A great example of how well this works was when the MD of a £1M business said ‘I don’t understand the numbers, I’m just a tradesman’. Then at 4am he emailed saying ‘I’ve got it, increasing gross margin by 2% gives me an extra £60k profit!’ We love these Eureka moments!
