Hubspot - The latest addition to our Clarity Street App Stack!

4/12/2020

0 Comments

 
One of the most hotly debated topics in the accounting industry app space is the use of CRM software. What actually is a CRM? And why is it a highly debated topic?

CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management Software. In short, it's software that helps manage all your relationships and interactions with team members, clients and potential clients.

Accountants are often hesitant about using a CRM because the software that has been designed for accounting practices has never gone to the lengths of capturing the requirements of what a CRM does. For accounting software, tax has always been at the forefront when developed and there has never been a strong focus on sales and marketing, because the ATO has also always guaranteed accountants with a constant and steady stream of clients due to tax work and all other accounting and compliance work related. While it doesn't guarantee that you'll have good quality clients, it does mean that you will always have clients. In addition to this, many accounting practices also rely on word of mouth and referrals allowing them to grow organically. The game, however, is changing.

Xero Practice Manager & WorkflowMax Split!

7/10/2020

0 Comments

 
When Xero first acquired Max Solutions (now known as WorkflowMax - WFM), they purchased an, at the time, leading cloud job management solution that filled a need for Xero - a job/workflow application to help compete with MYOB AO/AE, APS and Handisoft! We found an original blog post here re the acquisition.  

A few years later, Xero added Xero Tax and Xero Practice Manager (XPM). At the time, however, this meant there were two different sub-domains; the original WorkflowMax and Practice Manager.

Fast forward 6 years and Xero has now completely split off Xero Practice Manager from
WorkflowMax. This should allow the two products to go in different directions and allow future development of the products to be independent of each other. This also means a better result for the end users!

We have a very quick video of the new login process here:

There’s no room for Ernie with this XBert!

28/9/2020

When Clarity Street first encountered XBert at Heather Smith’s annual pre Xerocon meetup, we were there to introduce the speakers. Like all new applications on the market, we always try to understand what pain point the app is solving. Truth be told, at the time we weren’t too sure what problem XBert was solving, but boy have our opinions been changed now!

Fast forward 12 months and our initial thoughts have been turned on their head.
