Linford Grey Associates

How's the comedown from Xerocon today people? We had an absolute blast on Day 1 and it looked like Day 2 was just as brilliant. As if having our branding and our tech stack on the big screens at the opening session of XeroCon wasn't enough, Adam then spoke about that tech stack later on in the afternoon to a wonderful crowd. We've received a few interview requests off the back of the talk and app stack being shown, which is FAB. And that's not all... We picked up a copy of Xero's 'special report - Leveraging the app advantage uk 2024' to see Adam's contribution in there from Linford Grey. (Thank you Niamh Power) Another epic event in the books for the cloud accounting software giant! 💙 #xeroconlondon #xerocon2024 #mainstagekindaday #mindblowing #xero #xeroaccountants

Amazing to see our tech-stack on the main stage at XeroCon today?! Thanks for taking the picture Michael Green (hope you don't mind us sharing it here). If you want to hear more about the tech-stack head over to Breakout Stage 2 at 3:45pm. Our very own founder Adam Pritchard will be sharing the stage with Michael, Madhu Gupta and Laura Kenyon to talk about mastering an app stack to supercharge your practice. Please tag us in any pictures 🙏 Have a great two days at XeroCon everyone. 🤟🏼 #xerocon #xeroconlondon #xerocon2024 Ps. wow what an amazing amount of people sitting in the crowd?! 🤯

Who's excited for XeroCon next week?! 🙋♀️ 🙋♂️ Our very own MD, Adam, will once again be taking the stage... Breakout Stage 2 to be exact on Wednesday 12 June at 3:45pm. We're looking forward to joining Michael Green, Madhu Gupta and Laura Kenyon to talk about mastering an app stack to supercharge your practice. Here's a bit more information on the session: The Xero App Store provides a wealth of choices and when Xero Accountants and Bookkeepers use connected apps alongside Xero, their firms thrive. But the path to mastering an appstack for your own practice or your client’s small business isn’t always without its bumps in the road. In addition to hearing about the latest innovation in the Xero App Store, you will hear how firms like yours got started with apps, overcame a raft of challenges and are now delivering value for their clients and their own firm alike. We hope you’ll come along. Look forward to seeing you at #Xerocon next week! 🪩 

As part of our ongoing commitment to provide innovative solutions for our clients, we have partnered with fumopay. This Xero-connected app allows you to collect payments online, on your sales invoice sent via Xero, helping you get paid faster and save on transaction fees. Why we partnered with fumopay: ✅ 0% Per Transaction: Say goodbye to transaction fees, and hello to a low fixed fee. ✅ Instant Funds: No more waiting days for funds to arrive once paid. ✅ Get Paid Faster: Make it easy for customers to pay you promptly, using online payments. ✅ Save Reconciliation Time: Xero will automatically suggest a “match” for the transaction. Businesses can save £1000s each year, by using fumopay instead of card payment providers. How much could you save? Drop us a message if you want to find out more. 📩

How would others describe you and your business? Would they know what you do, what sets you apart and who you want to work with? We're part of one of our local BNI groups, BNI Apollo Leicester, we meet every Friday morning at 10am (not those crazy 6am starts) to work on referrals for the members. Last Friday we had a slightly different meeting. We were assigned to be someone else from the group and to stand up to do their 60 seconds when we came to that part of the meeting. (That's the part where you introduce yourself and tell the group what type of referrals you're looking for.) Usually we are Adam Pritchard from Linford Grey Associates but last Friday we were Terry Wright from Debt Advice & Solutions (UK) Ltd - and vice versa. This is what Terry said during our/his 60 seconds and we couldn't have said it better ourselves. So if what Terry has written sounds like something you're looking for from an accountant, drop us a message. 🤓 #bni #bnileicester #referrals #accountants #debtadvice

Newsletters are so boring...! Not when you have your wonderful clients contributing to them they're not. We're so inspired by the piece we received and shared from Ray about their journey towards carbon neutrality, highlighting innovative approaches to reducing their environmental impact. You can read more on how a partnership with a Xero application has become instrumental in their sustainability roadmap, reshaping the narrative of digital businesses as key contributors to a greener future, by clicking the link in the post below.

The Accounting Excellence Awards are back! The email dropped into our inboxes last week to notify us that entries for the Accounting Excellence Awards 2024 are now officially open! We're extremely proud to have won an AE award last year. There are some exciting categories again this year and it's a fantastic event to attend. We made so many new connections and it's always a buzz to be in the room with other accountants, bookkeepers, partners, etc. Let's see if there's another one we might be able to get our hands on this year... 🏆 #accountingexcellence #AE24 #accountantsandbookkeepers #awardsseason #smallbusiness #smallbusinessaccounting

Team Linford Grey had a FAB day out yesterday at the FAB Festival ✨ (Festival of Accounting & Bookkeeping)... The one thing about the accounting and bookkeeping industry is that it's so collaborative and there's a real community feel when you attend these conferences. Plus it's BUZZING with excitement and new tech. When you would think it would be boring and that competition is rife. The team were spread out across multiple presentations and talks throughout the day. We all feel like we've come back with refreshed energy, new ideas and potentially some new tech partners as well. We also want to say a huge thank you to Mike Goldsmith for asking our Head of Media & Marketing, Sophie, to speak at the conference about our Accounting Excellence 'In-House Marketing Team of the Year' award win in 2023 (and for organising the conference!). We all loved it, it was FAB! 🌟 #fab24 #festivalofaccountingandbookkeeping #conference2024 #accountingandbookkeeping #whosaidaccountingisboring #conferencespeaker #digitalamarketing #awardwinning #socialmediamarketing #leadgen
