role-based “right-for-you” educational content

on the job or role that people do whether they are an accountant, bookkeeper, advisors, small business owner or
financial staff. You can visit Xero U at: www.xero.com/nz/training/
“We’re investing heavily in education so that we can teach our customers how to be even more successful in their jobs
utilising Xero as a tool,” said, Amy Vetter, Xero’s Global VP of Education and Enablement.
“Practice owners struggle to find the training path that is right for the different functions in their firm. Xero U will
now allow them to find education tailored to each role which will take their knowledge to the next level in a way that
is efficient and rewarding. We know that time is money which is valuable in any business.”
Other companies offer a one-size fits all approach that often leads with the technology and not the specific needs of
the business or individual. Xero is offering a fresh approach based on a person’s job or role so they can quickly get
the information they need and get back to work.
Xero listened closely to small business owners and accounting professionals to find out what they needed and created
courses, content and the delivery methods to suit their needs. Customers can customise their experience with video,
webinars and self-paced learning, as well as live events.
“And this is just the beginning. As a company we’re focused on offering small business owners and accounting
professionals even more customised content to help them succeed - whether it be Xero product specifics or tips and
trends on a variety of other topics that keep small businesses and accounting professionals up at night,” said Amy.
Lisa Martin, Executive Director at Go Fi8ure said “We believe in being effective and efficient. That’s why we love Xero
U - to advance our careers, be the best consultants and help our clients get key learnings under their belt.”
Sarah Miskell, Director at Campbell Tyson Cooper White said “As a firm we have received huge benefits from putting 45
team members through Xero U Certification. The course content gave both practical and essential Xero product knowledge
and as a result has benefited many clients.”
Deidre Morgan, Business Manager at Astill Hawke & Associates Limited said “It’s great to have the Xero training courses and webinars, to either do at a time that suits,
or watch online at our leisure – all at the touch of our fingertips. The Xero Education events are full of relative
information, great tips and tools - hugely beneficial to keep up with the ever evolving Xero. Just beautiful!”
