At Xero, we know that like all great challenges, we can’t do everything ourselves, which is why we are built on partnerships. Working closely with our partners allows us to bring more people on the journey to help us achieve our purpose of making life better for people in small business, their advisors and communities around the world.

We’re thrilled to announce our latest global partnership, a three-year global agreement with DFK. This partnership will provide even more small businesses with access to the tools and insights they need to be successful. DFK will be awarded the new Xero Global Partner status, and Xero will become the platform of choice for DFK’s member firms and their small to medium business clients.

A closely aligned partnership

DFK is a global association of more than 200 independent accounting, tax and business advisory firms located in over 90 countries. We’re excited to welcome DFK and its member firms to the extended Xero family.

This partnership will empower member firms to drive deeper conversations with their clients, using up-to-date information in Xero. These accurate financial insights from Xero, coupled with expert knowledge from their advisor, enables small businesses to focus on their goals such as growing their business, exploring new markets, or improving processes.

DFK, like Xero, is a people-centred organisation with a strong focus on building relationships and human connections. Its member firms offer a unique sense of community at the local level, while being connected to a bigger purpose with their international peers.

Local firms are able to connect and share knowledge with other members around the world, helping them to stay ahead of the curve with new innovation. It is this human approach and sense of community that makes DFK a natural fit for Xero to partner with on a global level.

Serving many more small businesses around the world

This partnership will deliver real-time data and financial insights in Xero that advisors can use to gain a clearer picture of a client’s business, and provide tailored support to help them achieve their goals.

Recognising DFK as a Xero Global Partner is an exciting step that will help Xero grow in new and existing markets as well as delivering value for our partners.

Through the Xero Global Partner status, our aim is to work with global organisations with firms in multiple countries, that have shared goals, reach and scale. This partnership with DFK paves the way forward for more opportunities like this and we continue to explore how we can partner with other like-minded organisations of this nature.
