    Xero Limits: An Exclusive Chat with Angad Soin

    Straight from the buzz of XeroCon 2025, we're bringing you an on-the-ground conversation with Xero’s Managing Director, Angad Soin. Nine months into the role and fresh off delivering his first XeroCon keynote, Angad reflects on what makes this event more than just a tech showcase, it’s the people, the passion, and the unmistakable energy of a community that genuinely cares. In this episode, we dig into the excitement around Xero’s return to product innovation. From Syft integration and bank auto-reconciliation to the launch of the Xero Partner Hub, the announcements landed with real impact. But as Angad points out, these weren’t just flashy new features, they were thoughtful, strategic responses to long-standing challenges voiced by the accounting and bookkeeping community. What stands out most in our conversation is the uncommon sense of collaboration within this industry. While technically competitors, firms openly exchange ideas, cheer each other on, and work together toward a shared goal: empowering small biz. That spirit of abundance was palpable across the exhibition hall, and in Angad’s perspective on leadership and growth. We also take a moment to highlight some standout moments from the conference, including the keynote from Joe Brumby of Bluey, whose reflections on optimism and change struck a chord with many. So whether you were there in person or watching from afar, this episode captures what made XeroCon 2025 feel like more than a conference, it felt like a movement.

    EOFY Files: Tax, Tech & Truth Bombs

    It’s that magical time again, EOFY chaos, and tax plans flying faster than a Friday arvo wine (or sparkling water). In this episode, Aly, Andrew, Amy and Ajack get real about what firms are charging, when they start the tax hustle, and which tools are making the madness manageable. Also crashing the party: ChatGPT. Clients are arriving with AI-fueled advice that’s bold, wrong, and occasionally hilarious. We unpack how that’s shifting the game, and why being actually human is now a serious business advantage. And of course, EOFY calls for a celebration. From team lunches to op-shop fashion showdowns, we’re sharing how accountants let loose when the dust finally settles. So join on us on our next accounting adventure and tune in for tax tips, tech hot takes, and end-of-year vibes that prove accountants have more fun than you’d think.

    Navigating the Storm: When Life Overwhelms

    We’re getting real about overwhelm — the kind that creeps in quietly or crashes down like a piano from the sky. Aly and Andrew are opening up about what it feels like to carry the weight of responsibility as business owners, and how that pressure can sneak into every corner of life. Through some raw honesty, they unpack the messiness of overwhelm and the ways they’re learning to cope — one to-do list and deep breath at a time. In this episode: • Why “I’m fine” sometimes needs a major rebrand • The many flavours of overwhelm – from life-altering chaos to good ol’ decision fatigue • When business is booming but your inner world feels… bankrupt • Keeping your leadership hat on when you’d rather throw it out the window • Coping strategies that actually help – like compartmentalising, sweating it out, and seeking tiny sparks of joy • Practicing gratitude  • How to actually support someone who’s overwhelmed (hint: less advice, more presence) • A reminder that tough seasons end – and often leave us stronger than before So take a breath. Be kind to yourself. And if all else fails, put on this episode and know you’re not in it alone. 💛 AAAAA IS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR SPONSORS BGL With 35 years of experience and ISO 27001 certification, BGL Corporate Solutions delivers innovative, multi-award winning company compliance, self-managed superannuation fund, investment management, identity verification and AI-powered paper-to-data software solutions to 12,700+ businesses maintaining 1.5 million+ entities worldwide.  TOA Global Dedicated outsourcing solutions for Accounting firms in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK and across the globe.

    On the Road: The Power of Roadshows in your Backyard

    There’s something special about gathering with your professional crew right in your own backyard. When vendors pack their bags and roll into your city, they’re not just saving you the hassle of airport security and bad airline snacks – they’re investing in local connections, bringing the brainpower to you, and proving that professional development doesn’t have to mean jet lag. This season, Aly and Andrew are diving deep into industry gatherings, starting with roadshows – those traveling treasure troves of thought leadership, product updates, and networking gold. We’re peeling back the curtain on what makes these regional events tick – from the logistical chaos organisers face to the classic no-show problem at free events (seriously, folks, just show up if you register!). Our case study? The Xero Summer Series – a fresh take on professional development that skips the sales pitch and goes all-in on thought leadership. Economic forecasts, tech trends, and wellbeing strategies? Check. But let’s be real – the real magic happens in the margins: over pre-event coffee chats, post-event happy hours, and those in-between moments where local accountants swap war stories and wisdom. Whether you’re a solo accountant craving community or a firm leader looking to invest in your team, roadshows serve up top-tier professional development without the cross-country trek. So, are you ready to hit the road with us? We’ll be exploring events big and small all season long. Tell us your favourite industry gatherings and let’s talk about why accountants really come together (spoiler: it’s not just for the CPE credits or is it!). 🚗 AAAAA IS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR SPONSORS Planet Consulting | We work with firm owners and managers who want to run better businesses and achieve their version of success.

    Love at First Ledger: Celebrating Relationships in Accounting

    Roses are red, Balance sheets are tight, Accountants keep you stress-free at night! We’re back, baby! And what better way to launch the new season than with a Valentine’s Day special? Join Aly, Andrew, Amy, and Jack as we dive into the real love stories—between accountants and their clients. 💘 Have you ever had an accountant so good, you considered adding them to your holiday card list? We’re talking about the unsung financial heroes who do more than crunch numbers—they break bad news gently, keep businesses afloat, and somehow make tax season slightly less painful. Amy even shares her (strictly platonic!) love for her own accountant—because let’s be honest, where would we be without them? But it’s not all sunshine and spreadsheets. Ever thought about breaking up with a client? Or better yet, playing matchmaker between accountants and their dream clients?

    Being BETTER: and that's a wrap

    What if being a "bad example" could teach you how to be better? 🤔 Don’t worry, Andrew’s bad jokes aside, Aly and Andrew are wrapping up the Being Better series with some real talk on how life’s flops and fails can lead to surprising wins. We’re getting into the nitty-gritty of battling procrastination, ditching perfectionism, and learning how to balance bold moves with a little empathy. It’s not about overnight transformations—it’s the small, steady changes that really stick. Plus, we’re looking back at everything we’ve covered—like taking care of your health, being a better leader, collaborating with clients, and making smarter decisions. It’s all connected, and this final episode brings it all together with laughs, insights, and maybe a little self-reflection. So join us for one last adventure in this series as we celebrate the messy, meaningful work of being better—at work, in life, and in all the moments in between.
