BFA is off to the Xero Awards

February 10, 2021

Last year BFA was announced as a finalist at the Xero Awards in the NZ Large Accounting Partner of the Year category. This award recognises an accounting partner with more than 40 employees, who has shown commitment to leading the way with Xero and has achieved significant success.

BFA is in the running alongside accounting and business advisors Malloch McClean, UHY Haines Norton, Campbell Tyson.

Xero Account Manager Nick Putt said “It was incredibly tough to shortlist the many entries in this year’s New Zealand Xero Awards – so many of our accounting, bookkeeping and app partners are doing amazing things to help small businesses thrive. But, the judges have made their decision and we wish BFA the best of luck for the Awards”.


The Award ceremony will be held at the Auckland Town Hall this Friday, 12th February with over 100 people attending the event. Vicki Beker, CEO of BFA says, “We are super excited to be chosen as a finalist for the Xero Awards alongside such awesome competition.


We’ve worked alongside Xero since they launched and have embraced the other partners who have come onboard with them, because we know it’s in the best interest for our clients. We're privileged to be in such great company with the other Award nominees. We’ve got our fingers crossed for a win on Friday, but just being a finalist is an amazing achievement”.
