Background: Transitioning to a cloud accounting platform can seem daunting, but the benefits can be transformative for a business. Tom Beasley, CEO of charity Active Gloucestershire, explains how the Hazlewoods Business Solutions team guided him through the process.

How we helped: “They spent time with our team to truly understand what was important to them and how they would like to report their data, and built bespoke reports within Xero to reflect what we needed as a charity. Our team can now interrogate and view live reports as and when they need to and our engagement with the finance aspect of their roles is much stronger now that they have been trained on Xero.

Using an automated, web-based programme also means that our cyber security and resilience is improved.”
