Build the ultimate app stack to help skyrocket your practice growth

LAST UPDATED: Dec 20, 2023

In today’s accounting and bookkeeping practices, you can find yourself juggling client communications, compliance and acting increasingly in advisory roles – all while still managing your ever-growing daily management tasks. It’s understandable that you may often find yourself spending more time on the admin side of your practice than growing it. 

So how can you streamline time spent on admin, workflows and processes? One of the great things about Xero is that you can also integrate with your choice of best-in-class apps from the Xero App Store, freeing you up to focus on growing your practice.

We’ve spoken to our accountant and bookkeeping partners and based on their experiences and expert recommendations, we’ve put together a shortlist of best in class apps focused on driving practice efficiency – designed for advisors like you, by advisors like you. 

5 benefits of incorporating an app stack into your practice:

1. Easy integration with your existing Xero practice tools

The experience of setting up new software and moving data over can be tedious. These shortlisted apps connect easily with your Xero practice tools, so your data can flow effortlessly between your software. Say goodbye to repetitive manual data entry, minimise errors, and get more time back for you and your team to focus on your clients. 

2. Compliance and regulation apps tailored to accountants & bookkeepers in your region

Help stay on top of the latest local and national compliance regulations with apps relevant specifically to your region. Whether it’s SMSF and corporate compliance, or responding to regulatory updates, these apps can help keep you and your clients covered at every step.

3. Boost your practice efficiency with best in class automation

Whether it’s practice management, bookkeeping checks or data reconciliation, apps can handle the hassle while you focus on the strategic work that matters.

4. Customise your app stack to build your perfect practice

Every accounting practice has their own needs and preferences, and your digital tools should be flexible enough to reflect that. We’ve highlighted a shortlist of useful and impactful apps based on recommendations of real practices, so you can pick and choose a mix to suit your practice. 

5. Enhanced client communication and collaboration

Keep client experience at the core of your practice with apps designed to foster transparent and collaborative working relationships from day one. Choose from apps that make collaboration easy as you quickly produce insights and visual reports, create secure client portals and offer future-proofing advisory services to drive value for you and your clients.
