Catch up on our brand new webinar series: Scaling with Xero: How far can you go? (UK)

‍

Episode 1: Launch‍

We explore how high-growth businesses are pushing the limits of Xero, not by ditching it, but by extending it.

Hosted by Mayday’s David Tuck, we’re kicking things off with a top-tier panel to unpack the big question: Are we really outgrowing Xero… or just underutilising it?

Whether you’re feeling the friction of scale, eyeing off an ERP, or simply wondering what more Xero can do for your business, this session is for you.

Meet the panel:

• Kate Hayward: UK Managing Director at Xero
• Steve Jarvis: CFO at Terrafend
• Beth Riordan: Head of Finance at Oxford PV
  

What to expect:

• Insights into when and why finance teams start questioning whether they’ve outgrown Xero
• When its best to stay on Xero, and when ERP is the answer
• How some of the most complex, high-growth businesses are scaling smarter with Xero at the core
• What Xero + Syft (and its ecosystem) is doing to support larger, more sophisticated businesses
• Real-world stories of businesses managing 50+ entities, hundreds of staff, and global operations—all while staying on Xero

Whether you’re already deep into the ecosystem or just starting to explore your options, this launch session kicks off the series, and begins the practical, transparent conversation focused entirely on what scaling with Xero really looks like!
