Embarking on the journey to success can be challenging for small businesses in today's competitive landscape. ODEA is working to reshape this narrative. The family-owned and operated accounting services business based in South Africa has a remarkable track record spanning over a decade.

We all like to party, whether that be at home, a nightclub, or in the dance tent of our favourite festival, but when it comes to work, the two don’t usually mix, right? Well, that’s exactly what the event organisers did for the Digital Accountancy Show 2023 (DAS).

After a long-awaited two years, in the city known for its festive spirit, live music, unique heritage, and traditions - New Orleans, Xero had its much anticipated second series of Xerocon 2022.

For the third time this year I am experiencing the Xerocon Blues–a condition that befalls those of us in the Xero ecosystem who for various reasons cannot attend this marquee event.

Spotlight Reporting has been around the world with Xero. We started off at Tobacco Docks in London, next stop was the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, and now for the third and final time of 2022, it’s great to be back at Xerocon Sydney!

After a three-year hiatus, Xerocon London returned, along with a new venue, a new London location and lots of exciting products on show.
