Xerocon 2026?: What We Learned, Who We Met & Why We’re Excited About What’s Next

Hannah Carr — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 07:13:47 +0000

Xerocon is always one of the biggest dates in the accounting technology calendar and this year’s event certainly didn’t disappoint!

Across two busy days, the Xenon Connect team caught up with existing partners, met plenty of new faces, explored the latest innovations and had some great conversations about where the profession is heading.

More than anything, Xerocon gives us the chance to listen. It’s where we hear first-hand what challenges firms are facing, what they are excited about and software is helping them work more efficiently.

Here are some of Gareth and Brian’s biggest takeaways from Xerocon 2026.

Gareth's Biggest Takeaways

1. Apps work best when they work together

One message that stood out to Gareth was that firms no longer want software that works in isolation. Accountants and bookkeepers are looking for connected solutions that integrate seamlessly into their existing workflows.

Rather than adding more standalone tools, firms want technology that communicates with software they already rely on, helping reduce duplication and create more efficient processes.

2. AI is creating curiosity - but also healthy scepticism

As expected, artificial intelligence (AI) was one of the biggest talking points across Xerocon.

The conversations Gareth had, highlighted that accountants and bookkeepers are incredibly forward- thinking and interested in how AI can support their firms. However, there's also growing skepticism around AI being presented as the answer to every problem.

Instead, firms are asking more practical questions:

– Where does AI genuinely save time?

– Where should people remain in control?

– How can AI improve client service without compromising quality?

At Xerocon, overall consensus encouraged taking a balanced approach rather than chasing the latest trend.

3. Firms want to maximise what they already have

Another noticeable shift was that firms are becoming much more focused on getting the most from the software they already use before investing in something new.

Rather than constantly adding more apps, they are looking to improve workflows, make better use of existing features and create more value from their current technology stack.

Xenon Connect Systemise

With this said, one of Gareth’s highlights was speaking with existing Xenon Connect partners about our recently launched Systemise module.

Time and time again, firms told us how much more in control they now feel after rolling it out across their practice.

The biggest benefit they shared wasn’t just improved organisation – it was giving firm owners and client managers greater confidence in their workload, deadlines, and overall visibility across the business.

Hearing those real-life success stories from our partners was on of the most rewarding parts of the event.

These conversations are always invaluable. Partners shared ideas for future features, suggested small improvement and told us how much they enjoy using Xenon Connect. Hearing several firms describe Xenon Connect as their favourite app was a real highlight.

It was also a great opportunity to meet newer partners in person. Many arrived with questions about features or workflows, and after having a few demonstrations often left having discovered Xenon Connect capabilities they hadn’t yet realised existed.

This is why Xerocon is a brilliant place to put faces to names and build stronger relationships beyond emails and zoom calls.

2. Meeting firms that are new to Xenon Connect

Another exciting part of Xerocon is being able to showcase Xenon Connect to firms that have not experienced it before.

Some visitors had never heard of Xenon Connect, while others had been recommended by colleagues or friends who were already using the platform. In fact, some were even brought over to our stand by partners who were keen to see Xenon Connect in action.

Seeing those first reactions is always rewarding, especially when firms realise how Xenon Connect can help streamline their bookkeeping processes, save money and even create new revenue opportunities through bookkeeping health checks.

3. Demonstrating Xenon Connect’s latest features

There was lots of interest in one of our newest features: the ability to connect to a prospect or new client using a secure email link.

Many firms explained that gaining access to a prospective client’s bookkeeping data can often be one of the biggest barriers when trying to demonstrate value.

This feature helps remove that barrier, making it much easier for firms to carry out bookkeeping health checks and confidently demonstrate the opportunities they can uncover.

What the Industry is Talking About

After speaking with many accountants, bookkeepers and software providers, a few key themes emerged.

Making Tax Digital remains a major focus:

– Many firms are still searching for the right solution for making tax digital for income tax, particularly for lower-income, price-sensitive clients.
– They are looking for technology that helps them manage higher client volumes efficiently while continuing to deliver excellent service.

AI has a place – but firms still want control:

– As mentioned earlier, firms see enormous potential in artificial intelligence, particularly when it comes to increasing efficiency.

– However, they still want accountants and bookkeepers firmly in control of the bookkeeping process.

– Overall, AI is viewed as a tool to support professionals, not replace them.

Beyond the Exhibition Hall

Of course, Xerocon isn’t all business.

Brian particularly enjoyed the incredible venue, the huge variety of food available and, of course, the famous slide!

The Xerocon party was another highlight for both Gareth and Brian. It’s always a fantastic opportunity to catch up with familiar faces in a more relaxed setting, enjoy some great food and continue conversations that started on the exhibition floor.

Lessons from Louis Theroux

Another amazing opportunity at Xerocon was the chance to hear an inspiring talk from Louis Theroux. Known for his curiosity and thoughtful interviewing style, his session offered valuable lessons that extended far beyond journalism.

Here are Gareth’s biggest takeaways from the talk:

“Sometimes the best way of getting insightful information from someone is simply to stop talking and allow them to expand on what they have already said” – Louis Theroux

– This was a powerful reminder that some of the best conversations come from listening rather than rushing to ask the next question.

Gareth’s second takeaway was that there is no substitute for genuine curiosity.

– Whether you’re an accountant, bookkeeper or software provider, asking better questions and remaining naturally curious helps you understand people more deeply and ultimately provide more value.

Thank You, Xerocon

A huge thank you to everyone who visited the Xenon Connect stand over the two days.

Whether you were an existing partner sharing your success stories, someone discovering Xenon Connect for the first time or simply stopped for a chat, we genuinely appreciate every conversation.

The feedback, ideas and relationships we build at events like Xerocon help shape the future of Xenon Connect, and we’re already looking forward to the next one!

FAQ’s Episode 1: What is Xenon Connect? Everything you need to know

Hannah Carr — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 10:03:20 +0000

Meet Gareth Salomon

Gareth began his career in accountancy in 2003, training with small and medium-sized firms across the North West of England and North Wales.

After graduating from the University of Liverpool with a BA (Hons) in Accounting, he completed his AAT qualification before returning to the UK in 2009 to establish his own accountancy practice in Wrexham.

Working with businesses every day gave Gareth valuable insights into the realities of bookkeeping – and one recurring frustration that stood out above the rest.

The Problem That Sparked an Idea

Imagine reviewing bookkeeping records for multiple clients every week…

The same duplicate transactions.

The same coding errors.

The same reconciliation issues.

Over and over again.

After years of manually identifying these problems, Gareth found himself asking one question: “There must be a better way of detecting highly-probable bookkeeping errors programmatically within my own firm.

Building the First Version

From this, Gareth decided to build the solution himself.

Firstly, Gareth got in touch with a web developer he already knew through previous projects within his accountancy firm, together they started to build the first prototype of Xenon Connect that detected around 5 different types of common bookkeeping errors within Xero.

At this stage the software was an “itch that Gareth was scratching for his own team within his accountancy firm”.

However during 2020, Gareth realised that the software had a lot of potential to solve the same issues that were shared by other accountants and bookkeepers.

That was the moment Xenon Connect became something much bigger than an internal tool.

Instead of developing the software based on assumptions, Gareth then began speaking directly with accountants and bookkeepers to understand their biggest day-to-day challenges.

Those conversations continue today and have shaped many of the features within Xenon Connect.

Built With Accountants, Not Just For Them

This highlights Xenon Connects focus on solving real problems.

Every feature is designed with feedback from accountants and bookkeepers who use the software in practice.

From identifying highly probable bookkeeping errors to improving workflows and helping firms work more efficiently, the goal has always been simple:

Spend less time searching for problems, and more time adding value.

What does Xenon Connect do?

Since the initial prototype, Xenon Connect has grown exponentially.

Xenon Connect is cloud based software that plugs into bookkeeping packages such as Xero, FreeAgent, Sage, and QuickBooks online. It pulls the bookkeeping data from these platforms automatically and runs it through 29+ specific bookkeeping checks which automatically identifies highly-probable errors.

Where possible, it then allows the accountant or bookkeeper to push back corrections to the connected ledger in 1 click.

As well as bookkeeping quality checks, Xenon Connect also provides Xenon Systemise – a structured task workflow system, which embeds the data checks and bookkeeping data directly within it. For example, our VAT workflow template embeds our “Old Unpaid Invoice” data check within the bad debt review step of the task.

Additionally, our Xenon Insight module provides advisors and their clients with meaningful metrics that allows accountants and bookkeepers to price accurately and faster (transaction counts and bookkeeping complexity metrics), as well as providing performance and position metrics to make business decision making easier and faster for the client.

Who is Xenon Connect for?

Xenon Connect is built for accountants and bookkeepers in practice, allowing them to review the bookkeeping quality of their own work or of their clients work as well. In addition, accountants and bookkeepers often use Xenon Connect to review the bookkeeping data quality and transactional activity metrics at the client prospecting stage, in order to price accurately at the early stage of the relationship.

Why do businesses choose Xenon Connect over other providers?

Xenon Connect’s interface is extremely clear, it is easy to spot where there are bookkeeping issues and drill into those specific issues quickly, efficiently and cost effectively. This allows accountants and bookkeepers to push back corrections to the bookkeeping ledger, in one simple click!

Ultimately, our partners have told us that they are able to produce reports faster, whilst reducing the risk of financial errors, by using Xenon Connect.

If you’re ready to take a smarter approach to bookkeeping, there’s never been a better time to get started. Every new partner receives a free Partner Account for life, giving you the opportunity to experience Xenon Connect and discover how it could transform the way your practice works.
