A special episode of Beyond Numbers, recorded live on stage in London during our recent Xero Talks event.

It brought together keynote speakers and industry leaders to explore the future of work in the accountancy sector and focused on one of the biggest issues facing the industry today - recruitment and retention of staff. 

Max Whiteley, Alicia Williams, Jyoti Patel and George Bruce joined Ash Gibson for the future leaders panel which covered topics including culture, the value of diversity and flexible working, learning and development through formal training on the job along with the benefits of having a side hustle. They also share their views on the role artificial intelligence will play in the accounting industry.

Beyond Numbers, hosted by Ash Gibson, is a platform for pacesetters within Xero's community to chat candidly about the issues and topics that crop up at work. It's about exploring the challenges and talking through the tips, tricks and insights together. It's not about educating accountants on how to do their job, but more on how to win at work.
