stephenson thorner LTD - Xero Partner

Stephenson Thorner is Both Proud and Excited to be Awarded Gold Partner Status!

Stephenson Thorner is proud to be a Gold Partner with Xero, an online accounting system that makes it easy for you to be in control of your finances. We have yet to come across a client that does not love it and the simplicity it brings to their lives.

Xero gives you more time by taking away much of the data input of other systems. Xero has a dashboard that quickly shows your key statistics and results. Being online, there is no software to install, no backups to manage and you have instant access any time, from anywhere.

We have been using Xero for a number of years to manage our own business finances.  We also use other browser-based systems that integrate seamlessly with Xero so that we can measure and manage our own business processes. So if you want to work with an accountant who is knows and understands Xero and how it works with other systems, then give us a call.

We provide a range of Xero services to help get you started and to ensure that you get the information you need to manage your business. To find out more, email Stephen or Rakesh at Stephenson Thorner, or give us a call on 04 473 1980.
