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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
