For At Accounting For Schools, we understand that every school is unique and may require different levels of support. That’s why our financial support options are flexible and tailored to meet your school’s specific needs. When you partner with us, we will sit down with you to identify how our services can best complement your schools in-house capabilities and develop a support plan that suits you. Over time, our collaboration can evolve to align with the increasing financial expertise within your school. As your staff gain confidence, they may wish to assume greater responsibilities with slightly reduced support from us. Conversely, if a key staff member departs, we can step in and intensify our support to minimise disruption to your accounting operations. If you haven’t yet partnered with Accounting For Schools, let’s arrange a meeting today to discuss how we can best support you and your school's evolving needs. Call us at 04 909 7729.

On September 2, 2024, at 9 am NZT, all Xero invoicing users will automatically default to the new invoicing version each time they log into Xero. You can still switch between the classic and new system until the extended deadline date of 20 November 2024. However, we strongly recommend transitioning to the new system as soon as possible to become familiar with its features and new interface. If you are not already using new invoicing, now is the perfect time to make the switch. By familiarising yourself with the new version now, you'll have plenty of time to adjust and get comfortable with the updated interface. To learn more about this change, including how to make the switch and details about Xero's new resource, 'Your Guide to New Invoicing,' please refer to our latest newsletter here: https://public2.bomamarketing.com/email/5xGQ To read more about Xero's new features and upcoming enhancements, visit: https://central.xero.com/.../Xero-new-invoicing-releases ?
