Digital Partner Pages is here: How your peers led the way in 2020
As we explored in our first-ever digital Xero Roadshow, for bookkeepers and accountants, 2020 was a year like no other. From helping small businesses navigate COVID-19 to adapting their own practices in light of the pandemic, Xero partners rose to the challenge – time and again. And whether they were coming to the aid of struggling industries or building crisis-resistant firms, they learned plenty along the way.
To share their stories and the lessons within them, we’ve released our annual Partner Pages – a collection of powerful content from our Xero partner community for our Xero partner community.
But this time, things look a little different. Following a year of firsts, we’ve reimagined this edition in a new digital format – and I reckon it’s one of our best yet. Now with accompanying videos, you’ll meet the personalities behind the practices as they harness all they’ve learnt in 2020 to share tips, examples and practical advice that will help you build a future-ready practice.
Over the next three months, we’ll be releasing these insightful stories in stages. We hope you take the time to deep-dive into each piece, absorb what you need, and learn from your community. All to help arm your practice for whatever comes next.
Part one is here: Taking stock and moving forward
Family ties: The generations joining forces to reshape their practice
Over four years, father and son team Tony and Damian Lococo have worked together to transform a long-established practice into an agile, forward-thinking firm, while learning about each other in the process.
The duo shares their top tips for fostering intergenerational learning to find the perfect balance between a modern business mindset and old-school values.
Time for transformation: Lessons from a large-scale change project
As Director and National Head of Business Advisory at RSM Australia, Dace Harris oversaw one of the largest change projects an accounting organisation could ever undertake: the transition of 31 offices to Xero in just over two years (with everything from bushfires to a pandemic to contend with).
From starting with your ‘why’ to establishing feedback loops, Dace unpacks his tips for tackling large-scale change projects head-on.
Mind matters: Championing mental wellbeing within the advisory world
Rebecca Gadd’s mental health journey led her to form Sprout Business & Wellness Coaching, a Wodonga-based bookkeeping and advisory practice that puts the mental wellbeing of both advisors and small business owners in the spotlight.
Rebecca shares advice on safeguarding your mental wellbeing while supporting clients through challenges – teaching us that a little introspection can go a long way.
Stay tuned for part two, coming to Partner Pages in late March.
