Three things you’ll learn at Accountex London this year

posted in Uncategorized

For the eighth consecutive year, Xero will be exhibiting at the UK’s largest accounting conference on 1-2 May 2019 at ExCeL.

Accountex London is free to attend so come and see us at stand 450, where you’ll get the chance to speak to our product experts, discover new apps and get the latest on Making Tax Digital.

We’ll also have space for you to sit and relax, so you can take a break during meetings and presentations.

Here are three key learnings you’ll take away from Accountex London.

1. How to become a Making Tax Digital pro

The government’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative is well underway. MTD for VAT now requires most businesses earning above the £85k threshold to submit their VAT returns digitally using HMRC compatible software, such as Xero.

Xero has been working closely with HMRC to ensure you and your clients are supported through this transition. And after conducting several pilots and gathering feedback, we went live with our MTD for VAT solution.

For businesses using bespoke software that isn’t compatible with the scheme, our solution includes a bridging software feature.

Join us at stand 450 for a demonstration of Xero’s MTD-compatible products and their time-saving features. We’ll also show you how to convert existing clients to Xero from Sage or Quickbooks desktop for free with Movemybooks.

And if that isn’t enough, our MTD experts will be there to answer your questions, so you’re always one step ahead.

2. How to benefit from Xero’s practice tools

Digital technology has transformed countless industries and Xero has been no exception.

For years, we’ve equipped millions of businesses with technology that’s helped increase their productivity and improve efficiencies. But tools for accountants have, until now, been stuck in the 20th century.

It’s time the software industry acknowledged this and developed the right tools to change the game for accountants, as well as their clients.

In my keynote session on day two (2 May), I’ll address these challenges and outline how Xero is empowering accountants with practice tools to help them stay ahead. For more information on my speech, visit the Accountex London page here.

3. How to choose the right integrated apps

Whether you want to grow your practice or expand into advisory services, the right apps can help you get there.

Come see us to learn how apps like Fluidly, GoCardless and Hubdoc can help you succeed. We’ll be recommending apps for your clients too, so don’t miss out.
