Twice a pioneer… always a bookkeeper first.

In 2006, when cloud accounting was a leap of faith, we helped shape the ecosystem and guided hundreds of businesses through it. Twenty years on, that track record shows: Xero Platinum Partner status and multiple industry awards. In 2026, AI is the next leap.  We use AI as a tool, governed by real bookkeeping expertise, so your numbers stay accurate, compliant, and decision-ready.

That’s the difference between automation and automation done right.

From Xero conversions and ecosystem implementations to live training and self-drive Xero bookkeeping modules for every stage of learning, beginner to advanced, we don’t just set you up. We make sure you and your team can run it.

AI-powered bookkeeping and advisory, Xero health checks, clean-ups, and Xero and automation.

Training and Beyond, a multi award-winning  Xero Platinum Partner,  20 years at the front of every shift in bookkeeping. We moved New Zealand businesses to cloud accounting when it was brand new. Today we’re doing it again, bringing AI and automation into your books safely, accurately, and with the judgement only two decades of hands-on experience can offer.

Training and Beyond is the home of CurioVate™  where curiosity meets innovation, and businesses become AI-ready and of Xero Verify, our Xero competency assessment tool for recruitment and training.

Testimonial from an Accounting firm who reached out for help with complex reporting.

“We engaged Mel to assist with a Xero Health Check and the preparation of a quality board report at a time when we were at capacity internally. What we really valued was the ability to tap into her expertise and resource as an extension of our team. She quickly understood what was needed, worked with limited input from us, and delivered a great result. The process was practical, efficient, and really helped us keep momentum while maintaining the quality of reporting we expect.” Samantha, Director,  Mondo Advisory
