I am immensely proud of the team at Wiise. We've just launched a true industry-first. Wiise is now the only ERP platform in Australia with a direct, real-time integration to the NDIS. For NDIS providers, this means: ✅ Instant claim submissions ✅ Real-time funding visibility ✅ Automated compliance & payroll ✅ Drastically reduced admin & audit risk This is a major step forward in helping providers build financial resilience and focus on their critical work.

Knee jerk hot takes from the #xerocon Keynotes - Celebrated 17 years of Xero in Australia and a thank you to Australian accountants for " running the world" - 8,000 people registered online to watch, finally challenger to the ChangeGPS webinars!! - The gold jacket maybe a message to shareholders who knocked down the remuneration recommendation - she's worth it! Reminds me of former CEO Steve Vamos sporting the leather jacket and coming onto AC/DC. Sukhinder chose KPOP Demon hunters - probably the best way to get kids into accounting. - AI is changing client and accountant expectations. hard to argue with this but I never like these general statements. COVID probably the biggest expectation change I've seen because firms over serviced clients ..and surprise surprise..clients loved it. - "technology is nothing if it can't deliver value for customers" damn straight. - A big attempt to remind accountants that we are the leaders others need to follow. Accountants lead the cloud adoption in apac...but I don't think we'll lead AI. it's penetrated so much of the market already Onto CPO Diya Jolly's Keynote The Xero vision is " the most trusted and insightful platform for small business and advisors" A deeply embedded ecosystem experience was a key ask from customers. Almost hinted firms are frustrated with the amount of apps they need to login, and recognise accountants use more than just xero. Supports my view that we are returning to the dream of the suite. Accountants often miss the new features released because we're so busy. Great that Diya is creating awareness for new things many aren't using yet. Innovation is adoption for accountants. righto....big JAX expectations now they want to automate 90% or routine tasks, Personally, I thought Xero already had AI bank recs. As the accountant next to me said " I need to check it" -From just ask to just done. This feels like a pitch to turn it into agents - the future is not about more software but less..one intelligent platform that doesn't help do the work, it does it for you. - I did not like the AI advice at all. it asked if the client could afford a new van. The AI looked at the cash balance and said yes. Good luck getting those ATO debts paid! This feels like an overstretch AI use case for me and I would not want my clients getting advice from this and bypassing me. - Now we're reimagining accounting through AI Automated actions will give control and oversight. TASA rules will require this and it's great to see it considered. New features... I love a customisable dashboard. I'm a fan of business on a page info sharing. Tax manger looks great to manage due dates. Big round of applause for Workpapers with BGL. I reckon firms will still need the ChangeGPS workpapers to do the work, not just manage it for now. OpenAI integrated into JAX is great. Good Thing our members have had it in Evo for months! How'd I go? What did you think?
