In the Age of AI, Accountants Continue to Fuel Small Business Success
New study shows that 72% of small businesses still want access to an accountant, even amidst rise of automation
SAN FRANCISCO, June 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New data from Xero shows that, despite advances in AI and automated accounting technology, the vast majority of small business owners (72%) will continue to rely on the human advice of their accountant.The accounting industry is frequently held up as one of the industries most likely to be negatively impacted by AI and automation. For example, a recent McKinsey study suggested that as many as 800 million jobs could be lost worldwide to automation by 2030, with accounting poised to take one of the biggest hits.
Xero has been at the forefront of delivering AI and machine learning solutions that automate the mundane data entry once associated with the accounting industry. In fact, Xero recently announced that it has delivered more than 1 billion machine learning recommendations to Xero customers.
However, far from spelling the end of the accounting industry, Xero has built a platform specifically designed to maximize the impact accountants can have on their small business clients. In fact, 90 percent of small businesses who use Xero connect with an accountant.
According to the Small Business Administration, approximately half of small businesses go out of operation within five years. By contrast, data from countries where Xero is already established shows that 85 percent of businesses working with an accountant on the Xero platform succeed five years and longer.
Data from Xero’s new study shows that advances in technology mean that small business owners want to work with an accountant more than ever before. That’s because they rely on them as a trusted advisor who can help navigate a period of change. The study, released at Xerocon Atlanta, shows that:
· *Accountants are the most trusted source of business advice: *Accountants are the most trusted, and frequently used, source of advice for small businesses -- beating out peers, friends/family, online communities, lawyers, consultants, and financial advisors. Two-thirds (65%) of small business owners find the advice provided by their accountant very, or extremely, beneficial to their business.· *Small businesses don’t see advances in tech as a replacement for their accountant: *Seventy-two percent of small businesses would still use an accountant even if they had an app using AI to automate accounting. Additionally, 80 percent of small business owners plan to continue working with their accountant over the next 12 months.· *Accountants have an opportunity to help small businesses navigate changes in technology*: As trusted business advisors, accountants can play a key role helping small businesses realize the benefits of technology. Accounting firms are increasingly evolving from a focus on compliance services, such as tax, to more complex business advisory services, such as advice on managing major business transactions. Employees at these firms spend about eight hours each month educating themselves about new business apps -- that’s double the four hours per month spent by employees at compliance-focused firms.
According to Keri Gohman, President, Xero Americas, “We are at an inflection point -- advances in tech are profoundly altering the economic and social order. This presents both positive opportunities and potential pitfalls. At Xero, we believe that getting it right for our customers means taking a ‘human technology’ approach where we aggressively push forward with technological innovation, while also working to help our customers and partners overcome the tensions that inevitably accompany periods of change.”
She added, “We know that small businesses are more successful when they work with an accountant. At Xero, we are using technology like AI and machine learning to build a platform that enables accountants to work even more closely with their small business clients – further increasing the odds of long-term success.”
Added Gohman, “This data shows that advances in AI and automation are not the doomsday scenario for the accounting industry that is commonly portrayed. Instead, this is a massive opportunity for accountants to play an even bigger role in helping their small business clients succeed. Technology alone will never be the solution; technology combined with people will be.”
The survey of 512 small business owners was conducted by MMR Research Associates, Inc. between the dates of May 14, 2018 and May 17, 2018.

Xero unveils connected accounting features to bring small businesses and advisors closer together
New products announced at Xerocon Atlanta 2018 save small businesses, accountants and bookkeepers hours of time while improving data accuracy
ATLANTA, June 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xero, the global small business platform, today announced a wave of new innovations at its annual partner conference Xerocon Atlanta 2018 that give businesses and their advisors a way to grow their business through connected accounting and business tools. The new products were announced at the largest North American Xerocon to date, attended by almost 800 accountants, bookkeepers and ecosystem partners in Atlanta, Georgia.New products and features announced at Xerocon Atlanta 2018 include:
· *Automated bill entry, *a new feature powered by artificial intelligence, that extracts and automatically populates bill details in Xero, saving hours of time while improving data accuracy and cash flow reporting for small businesses
· *Faster bank reconciliation, *a manual and time-consuming process, is becoming more intelligent through automated workflows, making it easier to get a real-time view of cash flow
· *Xero Projects with new time tracker, *the simple, real-time financial project management tool is now available globally, providing an even more powerful way to track job costings and billable time so businesses get real-time visibility and drive profitability across projects
· *Ask and Relationships in Xero HQ* automate and streamline client contact management for accountants and bookkeepers so they can replace admin time with higher-value services for clients
Herman Man, Vice President of Product and Partnerships at Xero, said: “Xero has long had a vision to rewire the global small business economy by giving small businesses and their advisors access to a powerful, global platform. With the features introduced at Xerocon Atlanta today, we’re delivering connected accounting so accountants and bookkeepers can help their clients ask the big questions, on cash flow, profit and revenue. It is these kinds of capabilities working seamlessly together that enables small businesses to pursue their passion, be successful and do beautiful business.”
*Connected accounting comes to bills, saving small businesses time and helping advisors add value to clients*
Bank rules and reconciliation already save businesses time by automatically categorizing bills. Now, Xero will capture and automatically populate key information from PDF bills received from other businesses on the platform — like their accountant or suppliers — eliminating the need for manual entry altogether and helping businesses get paid even faster.
Beta testing has already shown a 25% saving in the time it takes to enter bills in Xero, saving business owners hours of time across the month. Code-free accounting also increases the accuracy of business data, giving owners and advisors more quality information about their financial position.
*Xero announces collaboration with Citi *
Xero and Citi are joining forces to open banking. The collaboration is the latest in a number of relationships Xero has built with financial institutions around the world — including NAB in Australia, Barclays in the UK, DBS in Singapore and ASB in New Zealand — that build a financial web to give businesses greater access and opportunities to grow using their financial data.
*Xero makes improvements to bank reconciliation *
Available soon (first to select beta customers), Xero will now automatically approve bank reconciliation rules set up by the business or advisor for matching transactions. With 97% of Xero bank rules already correct the first time, the intelligent automation will mean businesses and advisors can spend significantly less time on reconciliation and retain complete visibility over the process.
*Xero Projects brings new features and US availability to create a more powerful global platform for business*
Xero Projects, the simple job tracking tool for any small business, has become even more powerful with new features that give business owners more control and real-time visibility into projects, and drive profitability with simple time and job cost tracking within Xero.
Xero Projects, now publicly available for the first time to businesses using Xero in the United States, seamlessly connects to the wider Xero platform so businesses can build on top of the existing rich data in the platform, including contacts, invoicing, bills and reporting, to manage their business on a single platform and drive profitability.
New updates to the Xero Projects app for iOS and Android help businesses not miss a minute of billable time again. Employees can track project work wherever they are with stop and start job timers, and the ability to record the project they are working on, from within the app. And business owners gain greater control over access permissions for their team, with admin, standard and limited user tiers ensuring they can easily control the level of information each staff member can access or actions they can perform.
*Ask and Relationships in Xero HQ helps partners communicate with clients easily*
Ask in Xero HQ has expanded to make it even easier for accountants and bookkeepers to focus more time on client work and less time chasing information. Practices that use Ask have seen 83% of all queries on average answered within one week, eliminating back-and-forth emails and the time it takes to get clear, accurate information.
Ask will soon automatically remind clients to respond to information queries, to cut-down on the time advisors need to spend individually chasing information.
Also coming soon to Xero HQ, Relationships will make it easier to help partners maintain client contacts, ensuring accurate data across their practice from within the Xero platform.
*PARTNER QUOTE*
*US Partner quote: *“Working with Xero has allowed me to follow my passion and build a big practice that provides advisory services for clients in the creative services industry,” said Claire Von Holland, a Xero certified Silver partner who launched her practice, CV Ledger, in 2016. “Xero automatically takes care of much of the mundane data entry work, freeing up my time to focus on the big challenges my clients need to navigate. For example, I’m able to take the time to understand my clients’ operational needs and advise them on new apps that could help them boost efficiency and profitability.”

Plastic Caps and Closures (Beverage) Market by Product Type, Technology, Raw Material, End-use Sector, Region - Global Forecast to 2023
Dublin, June 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Plastic Caps and Closures Market by Product Type, Technology, Raw Material, End-use Sector, Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to *ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.The plastic caps and closures market size is projected to grow from USD 40.52 billion in 2018 to USD 51.67 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.99%.The plastic caps and closures market is driven by factors such as rising demand from end-use industries such as pharmaceuticals and beverages as well as rising concerns about the quality and safety of the product. The plastic caps and closures market is threatened by the growing usage of packs without closures such as pouch and blister packaging. Other substitutes such as metal caps & closures restrain the growth of the plastic caps and closures market.
PP (polypropylene) as a raw material accounted for the largest market in 2017 for plastic caps and closures. The growth and high demand for PP as a raw material for manufacturing of plastic caps and closures can be attributed to the fact that it is economical, has a long life span, and is resistant to extreme conditions.
The Asia Pacific market is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. It is also projected to have the largest share due to increasing commercialization and increased demand for packaged goods in the region. The market in China and India is projected to be lucrative due to their rising middle-class population and rising consumer spending on packaged products.*Key Topics Covered:**1 Introduction**2 Research Methodology*

PP (polypropylene) as a raw material accounted for the largest market in 2017 for plastic caps and closures. The growth and high demand for PP as a raw material for manufacturing of plastic caps and closures can be attributed to the fact that it is economical, has a long life span, and is resistant to extreme conditions.
The Asia Pacific market is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. It is also projected to have the largest share due to increasing commercialization and increased demand for packaged goods in the region. The market in China and India is projected to be lucrative due to their rising middle-class population and rising consumer spending on packaged products.*Key Topics Covered:**1 Introduction**2 Research Methodology*

Blockchain Based Pilot Started to Track Cattles in Wyoming, USA From Ranch to Table
History was made last week at the Campstool Ranch near Devils Tower, Wyoming when blockchain-based technology was employed by BeefChain.io and TE-FOOD at a cattle branding – the first time the technology has been used for such an endeavor.
DEVILS TOWER, Wyo. (PRWEB) June 06, 2018
The goal of the pilot made by Wyoming Certified Beef, LLC and Germany-based traceability solution provider TE-FOOD International is to showcase the premium living conditions of the cattle (grass-fed on an open range throughout their entire lives) thereby producing much higher quality cuts of beef to lucrative foreign markets.
The verified ranch-to-table traceability of the cattle through RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) ear tags and anchored by blockchain technology has never been done before.
Proof of Quality
“Because of the way our cattle is raised, the beef is a much higher quality,” said Ogden Driskill, a Wyoming State Senator and owner of the Campstool Ranch. “The problem in the past has been communicating to buyers the difference between our cattle and the cattle raised in feedlots. This technology gives potential buyers the verified tracking ability to know exactly how each cow was raised.”
Rob Jennings, CEO of Wyoming Certified Beef, LLC and Beefchain.io – the blockchain traceability platform that Wyoming Certified Beef is using – said the technology is opening up a new conversation in the state about how to best market Wyoming beef.
“Blockchain allows us to define all the data points that make Wyoming beef special,” he said. “And this means cattle producers can grab a premium for their product. Finally, we have a verifiable way of showing-off these data points.”
New Legislation Allows for Innovative Use of Blockchain
Tony Rose, CTO of Beefchain.io and Silicon Valley entrepreneur, said groundbreaking blockchain legislation passed in Wyoming earlier this year paved the way for the blockchain branding.
“The United States has created a very unfriendly environment for crypto-entrepreneurs,” Rose said. “But Wyoming – through the passage of these five blockchain bills – has created a sandbox where we can innovate on blockchain technology without having unnecessary regulatory oversight that the SEC has created.”
Tyler Lindholm, the primary sponsor of blockchain legislation (along with Sen. Driskill) that passed in Wyoming earlier this year, appeared on CNBC recently to discuss the legislation.
“One of the best aspects of the legislation is none of them cost anything to the taxpayers of Wyoming,” he said. “All we’re really doing is opening up a regulatory gate to provide a sandbox for these developers to play in.”
Radical change
Lee Stein, an entrepreneur who co-patented the world’s first Internet-banking (payment) system, was on hand for the event and compared the branding to the Internet revolution in the early 1990s.
“What they are doing here today is as dramatic and radical as what happened to the Internet with my company in 1993,” he said. “Ogden and the Driskill family are capturing magic in a bottle here.”
Kurt James, former VP of Supply Chain for McDonalds of Japan, who attended the branding said the blockchain technology will help tell the story that Wyoming cattle producers need to tell.
“The more you know about where the food started, the better,” James said. “Wyoming needs to brand their beef better because buyers want to know this information. It’s called farm-to-fork and in Australia it’s called paddock-to-plate. This information provides value back to the producers.”
This is just the beginning
Jennings said the tagging at Campstool ranch was just the beginning. Two additional herds will be added from Pumpkin Buttes Ranch and Persson Ranch in early June, he said. This high quality Wyoming beef is expected to be exported to Asia starting in Q1 of 2019.
Wyoming Certified Beef, LLC is a for profit company focused on providing solutions for Wyoming stockgrowers through its proprietary BeefChain platform. BeefChain is a blockchain traceability project being led by Wyoming Blockchain Coalition founder Rob Jennings, ranchers Ogden Driskill and Tyler Lindholm, and entrepreneur and blockchain developer Tony Rose. Advisers to the project include the University of Wyoming, the Wyoming Business Council, Tru-Test scanners, and Wyoming based company WY-Tex.
