Take a look at the finalists for the 2018 Xero Awards
With Xerocon Brisbane only a few weeks away, partners are gearing up for this year's Xero Awards. The 2018 Awards are divvied up into four main categories: New Zealand finalists; Australian finalists; Asia finalists; and cloud and app partner finalists.
This year's New Zealand finalists include BDO, KPMG, PwC, and smaller partners including Ingham Mora, Malloch McClean, Go Fi8ure, Julie Russell Bookkeeping, and Katalyst Office Management.
Last year's 2017 Xero Awards recognised achievements from New Zealand's Diprose Miller and Ontrack Bookkeeping, while Australian firms businessDEPOT and Biz Synergy came out winners. CPA Connects took out Asia Partner of the Year. WK Advisors and Accountants, Figured, ApprovalMax, and Practice Ignition also snapped up awards.
"These award winners are leading the pack by embracing innovation and new platforms quickly. The passion and work of these partners and those in our wider network is ultimately making an impact on creating greater job opportunities and growth for our economy. Congratulations to all the winners," said Xero New Zealand country manager Craig Hudson at the time.
