Xero, DBS extends partnership to encourage cloud-based accounting in SMEs

The six-month free access will let SMEs create e-invoices using Xero.

Small business platform Xero, in partnership with DBS Bank, is offering free digital accounting services to encourage more small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to adopt cloud-based accounting and software products, the company announced in a press release.

Eligible SMEs referred through DBS may receive up to six months of free access to the Xero accounting platform. SMEs will be able to create e-invoices with automated reminders using the platform.

Xero, which is also IRAS tax compliant, offers automatic GST F5 calculations for easy IRAS filing.

Further, the platform integrates an ecosystem of over 800 third-party apps that support business activities such as payroll, inventory and time tracking that will reportedly help businesses save time on administrative tasks.

The access is offered in collaboration with Enterprise Singapore and Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) under the SMEs Go Digital Programme.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
