The role of the bookkeeper is changing, thanks to advances in technology and business accounting software.

“Whenever we do research, we find that the accountant or bookkeeper is the number one trusted person in a business,” says Damon Anderson, director of partner and product, UK & EMEA, at Xero, which provides small business accounting software.
