Is your business ready for a digital future?

Based on the research conducted by Xero, a 20% increase in the number of businesses adopting cloud-based business tools in the future could add up to $7.8 billion to NZ annual GDP through improved productivity.

Suppose you find yourself spending a lot of time doing manual processes in bookeeping and updating your client records. In that case, it's time to consider adopting and integrating new technologies and streamline your business operations.

Xero Changes coming in February 2025

As featured in our August 2024 newsletter, Xero have made changes to their plans and pricing as of September 2024.

For existing Xero clients, migration over to the new plans will be in phases during 2025.

Here are the key things to note from our friends in Xero:

For the majority of customers whose new subscription plan will include the same or more features for the same or lower price (following the price rise on 12 September), we’ll move you in February 2025
For customers who will see a price increase as a result of the new subscription plan we’re migrating you to (in addition to the 12 September price rise), we’ll delay moving you until September 2025
For more information, please read: Updated migration approach to move NZ customers to new subscription plans

If you have more than one employee on your Xero Payroll, please speak to us about other Xero options or Payroll options.

Tyrone Bell
Director | S&T Media

"The visit to the office to have our annual tax explained makes us feel well looked after. A conversation outlining the main points and easy to understand language, rather than sorting through facts and figures ourselves. The extra advice and guidance is highly valued by us. We feel we can trust DVA to look out for our future, but more importantly, offer solutions outside the box. Friendly, professional and skilled. We trust DVA with our livelihoods."

Miriam C.

“Engaging with DVA was the best move we could have made for our business. Having a third party help us clearly outline our future goals with a Business Plan and keeping us accountable with their Quarterly Coaching service, has meant we have achieved what we initially didn’t think was possible. We have doubled our profit in a year and more importantly we now have much more time to spend with our family.”
