We know you, accountants and bookkeepers – you do amazing things every day to support small businesses, but you’re also a humble bunch. Sure, you’re not physically saving lives, but you are saving people’s livelihoods – and changing them for the better.
So while you may not always want to make a song and dance about the work you do, we at Xero want to do just that for you. And you can give your clients the chance to celebrate you too with the People’s Choice Award, open for nominations now!
The People’s Choice category recognises the Xero accounting and bookkeeping partners who have been, and continue to be, by the side of their clients through thick and thin. It’s a chance for your clients to celebrate you, to share your stories and importantly, be proud of the role you play for small businesses within our community.
It’s been another difficult year for businesses, and more than ever small businesses have required the guidance and expertise of their accountants and bookkeepers. Your work doesn’t stop, it’s ongoing, and the pandemic has made it relentless.
People’s Choice 2021
Our 2021 People’s Choice winner, CDC Accounting, were recognised by their clients as going above and beyond and for their support within the hair and beauty sector. This was an industry that was hit hard by the pandemic and faced a great deal of uncertainty as it navigated the country’s lockdowns.
Regular check-ins with their clients soon evolved into a weekly Monday to Friday schedule of online events, hosting guest speakers and panels to discuss the best ways for the industry and its business owners to keep moving forward.
Chris Cheeney, Managing Director of CDC Accounting, explains, “we’re changing lives, just by being human and giving people advice on what we have experience in so we can help them get the most out of their businesses and understand the numbers.”
