You’ve probably heard of Xero, one of the most popular cloud-based accounting software from Australia. But have you heard of the Xero Partner Program and how it can help your business? If this is the first time you’ve heard of it, read on to find out how our status as Gold Partner can benefit you!
What the Xero Accounting Software Can Do
We’ve previously talked about Xero and its benefits as a small business accounting system. In a nutshell, Xero is an elegant accounting system that helps you stay on top of the following:
- Invoicing
- Inventory
- Payroll
- Bank Reconciliations
- Bills Payment
- Reporting
You can use it yourself, or you can partner with a Xero partner firm – those which have accountants that are especially trained in the use of the Xero accounting program – such as D&V Philippines to help you better manage your business finances.
D&V Philippines: Xero Accounting Partners
We asked Jose Calsas Jr., a Xero Certified Advisor and one of the Directors at D&V Philippines, to shed light on what a partnership with Xero looks like and how it can add value to your bottom-line.
Xero Partner firms such as D&V Philippines are classified according to a points system. Depending on how many points you have, you can achieve the Starter, Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum status.
So how does a Xero Partner earn points? Mr. Calsas explains, “You’ll receive points when your clients invite you to their Xero subscription as an advisor and they pay the subscription, or when you pay the subscription.”
A Xero partner firm can also earn points by using some of its features, such as Xero Cashbook, Xero Payroll, Xero Premium Edition, and Xero Ledger.
The Gold Standard
At D&V Philippines, we’ve already achieved the Gold Partner status. This achievement reflects our broad knowledge of the Xero accounting program and the add-ons available for your various needs.
As Mr. Calsas puts it, our Gold Partner status is your guarantee that your books and accounts are “under the care of a growing team of seasoned Xero advisers and not mere users.”
What’s the Xero Gold Partner Status?
So what’s the Xero Gold Status, and how does it help your accountants serve you better? As a Xero Gold Partner, an accounting practice enjoys the following benefits, among many others:
