Collaboration Makes the World Go ‘Round

Our customers turn to us to keep their financial engines running smoothly, and our team of accounting experts are happy to oblige. Accountants are not always quick to embrace new tools, but that mindset could leave our customers with accounting functions that do not match the pace of change in their company. That’s why we are constantly looking for what’s next in the cloud accounting space to keep our customers thriving and growing. So, when we got a call from Google and Xero with a request to partner up for this upcoming webinar, we gladly accepted.

The impact of collaborative cloud tools can be seen in all aspects of modern business, and certainly the accounting function. Tools like Xero are empowering businesses to work smarter, not harder and our cloud-loving clients are perfect examples. Whether they’re looking to keep clean books, share data with investors in real time, or chat with colleagues and the Acuity team using video conferencing tools – the potential for businesses collaborating in the cloud is truly endless

Our friends at Xero recently earned a spot on Google’s recommended for G Suite program, a collection of Google-vetted tools to help business owners spend less time managing software and more time growing their business. As many of you know, we are huge fans of Xero and fully believe this recent integration will help our customers take control of their books on an entirely new level.

Acuity customer, Gimme Vending, will be joining on the webinar to help showcase the collaborative power of Xero and G Suite. “Thanks to Google Docs, we’ve been able to provide confidential data and financial reports to investors almost immediately, and manage who has access just as quickly,” says Cory Hewett, CEO of Gimme Vending.

During this 30-minute webinar, you’ll see how this integration works first-hand. Acuity will collaborate with Gimme Vending in real time to showcase the G Suite / Xero partnership. We’re excited to showcase the power of these fully integrated cloud-based tools for you. During this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• View Gmail messages directly from Xero to stay up-to-date on the status of documents.
• Push files out of Xero into Google Sheets and Docs to generate reports quickly
• How to sign in to G Suite through Xero and save time through the efficiency of this workflow
• Use Hangouts to serve clients nationwide
• Utilize the secure and collaborative capabilities to help grow your business

So, as a business owner, how do you keep your finances on track? Is working with your accounting team fluid and seamless or is it a bit of a disjointed headache? If you opted for the later, be sure to join us March 29, 2017 at 1pm ET / 10am PT as we go live with Google, Xero and Gimme Vending during this free webinar.
