R&A becomes a Xero Gold Partner
High-quality service doesn’t just come from our expertise; it’s also a result of the strong relationships we’ve built with our partners over the years. We find the most cutting-edge, value-building and industry-leading financial management solutions and we strike deals that help us deliver them to our clients. By being the link between small businesses and big technology providers, we’ve set ourselves apart from the competition.
And now we have one more feather to add to R&A’s cap: Xero Gold Partner status.
Going for gold
Xero’s Partner Programme is categorised into six tiers: Partner, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Group Platinum. The programme works on a points system – the more small business clients you onboard onto Xero, the more points you accrue, you also accrue points for the training and certification of your team so you need to stay up to date with the product and its features. R&A has been with Xero since 2017, quietly connecting SMEs with this user-friendly and efficient cloud accounting platform and earning partner points along the way.
Finally, we’ve reached Gold Partner status. But what does that mean?
Each partner level in the Xero Partner Programme has its unique benefits. The more levels you unlock, the more access you get to advanced training material, product add-ons, priority support and additional apps for data extraction, inventory, scheduling, forecasting and cash flow.
Achieving Gold Partner status is no small feat. You need to maintain between 300 and 999 points to qualify, which is challenging for firms of our size. It’s a true testament to the value Xero can deliver for SMEs and how we communicate that value effectively to all our clients. At this partner level, we now have access to more rewards and benefits, making it easier for us to promote Xero to even small businesses needing a simple yet powerful accounting solution.
How this benefits you
The are three main ways that rising up Xero Partner Programme directly benefits R&A’s clients:
Discounts – Each level above the initial Partner status comes with subscription discounts that can be directly passed on to clients.
Additional features – More features means more ways to tailor Xero’s platform to address unique business requirements.
Advanced knowledge – The more insider intelligence we gain about Xero, the better we are at making it exceed our clients’ expectations.
The Gold level of the programme also makes us eligible for marketing and event funding, which would enable R&A to reach a wider audience. We can host workshops where we demonstrate the practical benefits of using Xero to streamline a business – from doing accounting on the go to simplifying tax and payroll. Events also allow us to interface with small business leaders and determine their immediate business needs, which is information that both R&A and Xero can use to advance our offerings.
To summarise: this accomplishment is not only a massive win for us but a victory for you too. Thank you to all our clients for trusting and supporting us over the years. We hope to continue delivering excellent products and unparalleled customer service to you for many more partner levels to come.
