The Spicer & Co team is incredibly proud to share some exciting news … we have officially achieved Xero Platinum Partner status!

Xero assigns partner tiers (Starter, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum) based on a firm’s experience, client base and level of training and certification. This milestone surpasses our previous Gold Partner level.

Platinum status represents the highest level, awarded to accountants who demonstrate extensive expertise in using Xero software to support their clients. Now, this includes our Dunstable-based accountancy practice.

‘We would like to thank our clients for helping us to achieve this impressive Xero Platinum Partner level,’ says Amali, who is in charge of  VAT and bookkeeping at Spicer & Co Chartered Accountants in Dunstable. ‘Their willingness to embrace cloud accounting with us and adopt new ways of working supported our move from Gold to Platinum status.’

What does Xero Platinum Partner status mean?

Xero awards partner status levels based on a combination of factors including the number of clients using Xero through a practice, as well as the level of expertise and support provided.

• Gold Partner Status recognised our strong adoption of Xero and our ability to support clients effectively.
• Platinum Partner Status, however, places us among the top tier of Xero advisors. It represents a significantly higher level of experience, deeper product knowledge and a larger base of satisfied clients using the platform.
