West Carr Harvey has moved to Xero

As of 19 May 2025, West Carr & Harvey moved from MYOB to Xero as its primary accounting and tax online software.

Why was this change made?
• Moving from server based to cloud-based software improves the data security and accessibility of client information to West Carr & Harvey’s accounting team.
• The majority of our clients manage their financial data and business bookkeeping on the Xero platform and we would like to work more closely with you on the same system.

What does this mean for you?
• Our financial statements and tax returns for our clients will now be prepared in Xero so you will notice slight changes in the format and delivery of the financial documents that you receive.
• Moving onto the Xero platform will improve West Carr & Harvey’s ability to collaborate with you by streamlining financial management, accessing financial data directly via Xero’s cloud-based platform and providing real-time financial insights into your business.

Some of the benefits of Xero
• Xero is a cloud-based platform, meaning our accountants can access client financial data securely via the internet.
• Where bank transactions are automatically linked to the Xero account, this will enable us to understand real-time income and expenditure.
• We can access your Xero account facilitating easier and more efficient collaboration.
• Xero enables real-time data access and best practice transaction processing.
• There are opportunities to provide better value-add services to you via the various tools, apps and add-ons available to Xero.

If you do not use Xero, will that affect West Carr & Harvey’s services to you?
If your business is thinking of moving to Xero or is not operating on Xero yet and the above looks beneficial to you, we encourage you to reach out to your West Carr & Harvey Director or Manager to discuss moving your financial reporting to Xero.
Please note West Carr & Harvey will always support and encourage every client to use the accounting package most suitable for their operations be it Xero, MYOB or anything else.
