When Eric Cirulis decided to switch his practice from desktop to cloud apps, it transformed workflows, billing and even the firm’s culture.

Unless you have been stuck under a rock over the past year, you will no doubt have heard that old faithful Auskey is being retired and replaced with a much hipper big brother called myGovID and its twin sister Relationship Authorisaton Manager (RAM). The ATO have advised that the AUSkey and Manage ABN connections will close at 11.59pm AEDT on Friday 27 March and there will be NO extensions due to the fact the Auskey has it written into its code to no longer function past this date. ​

If creating capacity and having a global team is in your strategic plan, (you have one of them right?), then The Outsourced Accountant (TOA) will fit in like the last piece of the compliance puzzle! While technically not an app, (we will talk about this later), it does create capacity within your firm. Let’s make this clear from the outset, TOA is not just an outsourcing company, it provides you with a global team that is YOURS and not THEIRS. This is a critical distinction to make. Your new team member is yours, just like an internal employee, and you will only get out of this relationship what you put in. If you just want cheap labour and don’t care about the team member that is doing the work, then please stop reading as this blog is not for you. You may enjoy this more... ​

How did TOA make it onto on our app stack you ask? ​Read more below. 

Clarity HQ are the new kids on the block–chain when it comes to advisory services, or should I say “pre advisory” services providing advisors with real time information, around 7 key metrics of a client's business, creating trackable action plans, storing client internal business documents and most importantly providing education to the advisor about what business advisory actually is, in the context of their 7 key metrics.

Accountech.Live promises to be “the non-vendor specific tech conference of the year”, aimed to provide accountants and their clients with access to app vendors, speakers and round table discussions to help grow, nurture or expedite speed of growth. This year they were expecting in excess of 3,400 attendees registered and over 50 app vendors. In addition to the app vendors, there was a plethora of content for the attendees to fill their CPD hours. With all these app vendors and speakers, it was inevitable that there would be information paralysis for the attendees, this is where Clarity Street came to the rescue!  ​

Another year, another extravaganza! 

The overarching theme of this year's Xerocon was wellness and looking after yourself, both mentally and physically. There were plenty of activities to promote self wellness, from riding a bike to make a smoothie, to table tennis, totem tennis, hair cuts, a nail bar and a huge sweet bar. A big hit was the line up of speakers who brought tears to the eyes of attendees (both happy and emotional tears) in almost every keynote speech.
