What really got me was when Stuart McLeod said Xero would have payroll by March 2013. Xero gave their vision, they said this is where we are, these are our deficiencies, this is our future, and this is our vision. Attended Xerocon Melbourne 2012 and it left a big impact.

Staff initially suggested Greg should look at Xero.Benefits of working in insolvency as a young accounting graduate.When they saw Xero come through realised they could build a whole business platform using the eco-system.Focus was on processes, information, management reporting, and kpi’s.They made the wrong management decisions.The top three reasons for business failure Greg saw while working in insolvency were:.Greg’s background is in insolvency and has never done a tax return!.Most of our business comes from referrals and word of mouth.If you’re coming to Brisbane Xerocon 2016 add a few days on and travel up to the Sunshine Coast where Greg Tuckwell is based.You’ve got to enjoy what you do and life.
