IRD has recently made improvements to their systems to allow online filing of personalised returns - both for individuals and businesses.    If you like to file your returns electronically, then you have to sign up for the new online process because the current non-personalised online filing is going to disappear in early 2013.

The most recent updates to Xero mean that you can now spend less time on admin stuff and take time out to smell the roses or  lie in the sun or play with your kids or even think about strategic issues - whatever is the most important thing to you.

The third Xero conference lived up to all expectations - giving insights into how our favorite  accounting system is going to be improved, providing an opportunity to find out  about other solutions that integrate directly into Xero, and also extending our knowledge on how technology solutions can improve business productivity and information management.

It's hard to believe that the web has been around for 20 years, but it's only in recent years that technology solutions that are changing the way we do business have been in existence.  Xero has been at the forefront of harnessing the power of the internet to manage financial information, making the process simpler, faster and much more accessible.
