Over 800 of the top accounting professionals from all over the world gathered in Battersea Evolution, London, on February 10th. Why? To celebrate the year’s top contributors to the exciting new cloud accounting software that is Xero. Among those nominees, in the category of Accounting Partner of the Year – North, were none other than our good selves, Urquhart Warner Myers!
Regional Finalists
UWM were selected in the hotly-contested category alongside Cassons (the winners), Valued and My Accountancy Place. The award was just one of 19 given out on the night to recognise the outstanding work and commitment of Xero’s partners in promoting and implementing their cloud accounting software over the past year.
Though we at UWM weren’t ultimately selected for the top prize, we are extremely proud to have be chosen by Xero as one of their regional finalists. And we were delighted to be part of an event which included a sumptuous feast, glitzy surroundings and much revelry to the accompaniment of the house band Star.
Recognised Commitment to the Cloud
UWM launched the Xero service earlier in 2013 and held a free informative seminar in Leeds, which was a phenomenal success. Among other incentives, the event aimed to educate our clients about the advantages of switching to a cloud-based accountancy service. Namely, these advantages include:
- The security of having your personal information stored in a thoroughly-vetted system.
- Impeccable safety and backup features that guard your information like never before.
- The peace of mind that comes with storing such data on the cloud, regardless of where you log in, whether you’re disconnected mid-transaction or whether your personal computer is damaged.
- The flexibility of the software, which works equally effectively with Smartphones, tablets, PCs or Macs.
- The complimentary option to add as many users to an existing account as you wish, meaning that the entire team can be included at no extra cost.
- The accessibility of the software from any log-in point.
- The economy of saving expenses on travel, accommodation and other related costs when conducting accountancy meetings in person.
- The huge time-saving advantages of online data storage.
- The vast array of services that Xero incorporates: tracking invoices, creating orders, claiming expenses, estimating claimable VAT returns, receiving and paying bills, bank transactions, direct debits and standing orders, and a whole host of other features.
- The limitless potential for add-ons and additional features, making the software more and more attractive and efficient with every passing day.
At UWM, we have more than 30 years of experience in helping small businesses to take control of their finances and expand. In that time, we have reached thousands of companies and with the successful implementation of Xero – as recognised by our nomination – we aim to reach many, many more.
