"Xero has totally ‘revitalised’ our school accounting and financial practices! We can now make better decisions based-on accurate, up- to-date information. The biggest surprise is how easily staff have made the transition – they have found it straightforward and intuitive! Now we are spending less time but getting better outcomes. Changing to Xero is one of the best decision we have made.” Roy Sye - Principal Tamatea Intermediate School, Napier “Xero has made a significant difference to our school in a very short time. We have reviewed our internal financial systems and we now have efficient and highly effective systems in place. Staff have found it very, very easy to use and understand, very easy to navigate around and have said it requires less work on their part while giving us very up to date financial information. In a word we believe it is brilliant!” Rohan Pearse – Mayfair school, Hastings
