Trusted by hundreds of
Australian accounting firms
The reporting templates are a significant improvement on the Xero offering. The Entry Counts chart of accounts seamlessly generates compliant general purpose financial statements — and Donnie makes me look good in front of clients.
Donnie modified his standard templates to our firm standard and deployed them across our whole team, with training included. A small investment for a great outcome — I received positive feedback from every single staff member.
Donnie seamlessly integrated XYZ model financial accounts into our Xero HQ — charts of accounts, processes, training, and checklists. Now we prepare both SPFR and GPFR for all clients with just a few clicks.
His guidance during our migration from Reckon Elite to Xero was invaluable. His ability to make the most difficult appear easy alleviated our concerns and mitigated several potential pitfalls and financial losses.
Donnie is an absolute genius. He's saved me hundreds of man hours. Now I provide my clients the perfect reporting packages every month — all automated and compliant. I can't recommend him enough. Absolute legend.
We now have the world's best SPFR and GPFR system where we can prepare both for all our Xero clients. Keeping our financial statement process entirely in Xero was exactly the right call. Great service, great people!
