Episode notes

.entry-img img{ display:none !important; } .single .hentry .entry-img{ display:none !important; } This episode of The GrowCFO Show brings together David Tuck , Founder of Mayday and CFO Tech Stack , and Kate Hayward , Managing Director UK at Xero , to challenge one of the biggest assumptions in mid-market finance: that fast-growing businesses must eventually abandon Xero for a larger ERP. Drawing on real-world data from the State of the Stack report and the CFO Tech Stack community, they demonstrate how finance teams are successfully scaling to $100M+ in revenue, and running sizeable in-house finance functions, while staying on Xero and surrounding it with a best-in-class ecosystem of tools. The discussion moves from the origins and purpose of Xero as a cloud-based system of record through to the realities of scaling with an app stack versus undertaking a disruptive ERP migration. David and Kate share evidence from dozens of growing businesses, highlighting how Xero plus Mayday and complementary apps are delivering better, cheaper, and faster outcomes compared with traditional ERP transformations.
