Independent, evidence‑based validation of real‑world Xero skills — built for recruiters and hiring managers who need certainty before they hire.

Who It’s For

CVs and interviews don’t always reveal practical capability. Our assessments verify what candidates can actually do in Xero, reducing hiring risk and highlighting training needs.

  • Evidence‑based results with clear scoring and commentary
  • Role‑ and industry‑tailored scenarios (NFP, construction, professional services, more)
  • Practical tasks completed in our secure, custom Xero organisations

Why Training & Beyond?

  • 19+ years as a Xero super‑user; Xero Platinum Partner
  • Global Xero roles: Global Trainer, Head of Bookkeeping, Community Partner Manager
  • Recruitment background (NZ & UK) — assessments aligned to real hiring decisions
  • Founder, Institute of Certified NZ Bookkeepers (ICNZB)

How It Works

  1. Scope the role — aligned to your role, seniority, and industry
  2. Candidate completes tasks — in custom-built Xero organisations or via live session
  3. Receive the report — with clear scoring, commentary, and training recommendations
