  • In this episode of the Digi-Tools in Accrual World podcast, brought to you by The Digital Disruptors and sponsored by XLedger, we dive headfirst into the cutthroat world of business advisory - who has the edge, accountants or business coaches?

    The word on the street is banks may have lost their mojo with accountants, prompting a wild 47% to feel as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs when it comes to business banking.

    We have app updates galore from MIMO, Pleo, ApprovalMax, and Xero, and the lowdown on the Xero Beautiful Business Fund 2024 winners who are redefining awesomeness in business.

    Plus, discover why multi-banking is the new black for SMEs and a whole lot more!

    No, the kind that leaves the door open for some cockwomble in a server dungeon to steal tens of thousands of pounds if it’s not done properly.

    Yeah - that’s sort of compliance.
