Our new webinar series: Xero for Groups, The App Advantage

Are you using Xero and planning to expand to multi-entity operations?

Or has your group used Xero for some time, but you're concerned growth demands an ERP migration?

Perhaps you're evaluating Xero and questioning its scalability for groups?

We're thrilled to announce the new CFO Techstack webinar series tackling these issues: ‘Xero for Groups: The App Advantage’. This six-webinar series runs March 18-20, focusing on top topics requested by group CFOs using Xero and its app ecosystem.

At Mayday, we help multi-entity finance teams streamline month-ends using Xero. Our clients span 2-3 entities to over 60, all succeeding on Xero. We consult daily with CFOs optimizing tech stacks for groups.

Many leaders prefer staying on Xero but doubt its scalability. Claims like “We’ll need an ERP soon” often stem from misconceptions rather than data.

“We're a 50+ entity business. The received wisdom is that we should use an ERP system. Having had the experience of using NetSuite as a team, the massive subscription costs, the huge implementation fees, we wanted to avoid it if we could. Now we can happily continue to grow with Xero” – Jordan McCreary, OG Global

Our ‘Building an Enterprise-Level System with Xero’ webinar series last September proved scalability without an ERP.

Building on Our Enterprise Series Success

Our ‘Building an Enterprise-Level System with Xero’ series attracted over 750 registrations, 44 speakers, and 14 sessions over three weeks. Demand for enterprise Xero strategies was strong, earning praise:

“Thank you all - brilliant info!”

“Great advice - too many growing businesses move to an ERP too early”

“Thanks for making this series. Fascinating”

“Amazing work team… a very accessible and useful library for years to come.”

This success led to CFO Techstack, our weekly newsletter and community for innovative finance leaders on Xero.

We've issued 14 editions, with high engagement on multi-entity Xero challenges—often solved via ecosystem apps. This drove our targeted group webinar series with app partners.
