Countplus Limited said it has recently finalised a new agreement under which all of its existing member firms would gain access to cloud software provided by Xero Limited.

The move is part of part Countplus’ move to bolster its support to its national member network and its shift from 100 per cent ownership of acquired firms to an ‘Owner-Driver, Partner’ model, CountPlus chief executive Matthew Rowe said.

“The company is committed to delivering opportunities that give a competitive advantage to its members. As part of this commitment, we have invested in technology to enhance the core business and add value across our member firm network,” said Rowe.

“To that end, CountPlus recently finalised a new ‘Platinum’ agreement with leading cloud software provider Xero Limited, under which all existing member firms will now gain access.”

Rowe said the deal with Xero was a significant step forward in “value add” for the member firms and further proof of CountPlus’ commitment to deliver on the “partnership” aspect of its core strategy.

“We understand success is symbiotic, and we will therefore continue to negotiate value with technology and other suppliers like Xero to deliver competitive advantages to all our member firms – both existing and new,” he said.
