Innovative Accountant Conferences

Xerocon Focused on Insights on Small Businesses and More

— September 9, 2022 — Business
The Xerocon New Orleans 2022 focused on insights on small businesses, new announcements, strategic partnerships, and more. Some noteworthy announcements included a strategic partnership with Avalara, the automated tax compliance software specialists, the TaxCycle integration that will now include T1 Income Statements, and a new partnership with BMO Financial Group that will enable automatic transaction syncing between BMO and Xero.

One key element of the conference was the launch of the Xero Small Business Insights program in the United States and Canada. Xero uses "anonymized and aggregated data to track the performance of, and improve understanding about, small businesses." This is especially useful as the majority of businesses in both Canada and the United States are small businesses, and this latest expansion will help business owners better prepare for the future.
