At 5th Green we’re big fans of Xero. We use it in our business and we’re passionate about sharing our knowledge and understanding of Xero with our clients. Over 1m users in New Zealand and Australia alone can’t be wrong!
5th Green is a Xero Partner and our team has a Xero Certified Advisor and Xero Certified Payroll Advisor. Xero can make accounting for your business simpler, however using it correctly and getting the most out of it can get tricky. We have the expertise to help you use Xero in a way that best aligns to your business goals.
If you’re just starting out, you’ll know that you need a system to manage your business. It’ll need to do your invoicing, capture all your bills, show you how much money you have in the bank, calculate your profit and show you all your incomings and outgoings.
5th Green can advise you on the best Xero set up for you and then go ahead and build out your Xero for you in a way that will ensure you’ll get the most out of the product from Day 1. We don’t believe in “one size fits all” which means we’ll sit with you first to understand you and your business. We’ll take your passion and excitement and build your Xero in a way that will maximise what you can and will get out of the product. Bolt on some of our Xero Training to the offer if you want to run it yourself going forward. Alternatively, talk to us about some of our other services such as Bookkeeping or Virtual CFO.
Knowing what assets your business owns, what their book value is and keeping track of them is key when you have multiple assets. Many businesses aren’t aware that Xero maintains their assets for them and calculates what they are depreciating by every month. Often your accounting firm doesn’t understand your business well enough to create a meaningful asset register that is of real value to you and your business. At 5th Green we take a different approach because we love data and the insights it gives you.
We’ll rebuild your fixed asset register for you to allow you to gain better information from it for use as a management tool. You’ll get better granularity of all asset information. 5th Green will also provide you with tools to maintain your Fixed Asset Register correctly going forward.

Paul’s varied and unique background is precisely what makes for a great Virtual CFO. At Aisleworx he simply got stuck in and got things sorted. He is not only a numbers man but also good with people and will negotiate with trade debtors and creditors.
Paul has proven an invaluable business partner in helping Accelerate analyse and develop growth opportunities. His wealth of business experience and accounting background gave us the confidence and understanding to confidently plan for the future. Paul has the unique ability of making accounting and financial analysis simple to understand and actually useful for business planning. I would strongly recommend Paul to help you run your business financially smarter.
Sheree puts considerable effort into managing risk across the business – not through the over-negotiation of contracts or stopping people taking risk – but by encouraging analysis of that risk and helping minimise it – often through innovative, non-legal routes such as seminars, training programmes, drop-in clinics and simple-to-use precedents for letters, pitches and quotes. Sheree is a highly commercial senior lawyer who works extremely well with clients, business partners and both senior and more junior people across all business areas. Having Sheree work from the New Zealand time-zone has really helped us speed up our transactions here in the UK.
Paul is more than a business coach. Instead of piling us with more work, he actually made things happen – but he also kept us accountable. His proactive, passionate and business-savvy approach has been a game changer for our business.
