Some good news to share: we were named Mid-Size Firm of the Year at the 2026 Xero Partner Awards, and we were also a finalist for Advisory Innovator of the Year.

Awards are nice, but the reason this one landed for us is what Xero actually judges. It isn't just technical skill, it's whether clients are satisfied and staying, whether you're teaching them something useful about their own finances, and whether you give anything back to the accounting community rather than treating everyone else as competition.

We've written up what the award measures, why we bet the entire firm on one accounting platform, and what our client care actually looks like day to day.

Accounting Prose won Mid-Size Firm of the Year at the 2026 Xero Partner Awards. Here's what the award measures and how we earned it.

We're thrilled to welcome Sol Torti to the Accounting Prose team as our new Sales & Client Success Manager!

Sol brings a unique background that makes her perfect for this role. She started her career as a journalist in Córdoba, Argentina, where she developed the skills that now set her apart in client success: genuine curiosity, active listening, and the ability to translate complex ideas into clear conversations.

After transitioning into sales and management, Sol discovered her passion for helping entrepreneurs navigate challenges and find solutions that actually work for their businesses. That's exactly what we do here—help founders move from financial chaos to strategic clarity.

What stood out about Sol during our hiring process was how she embodies two values that matter in this work: resilience and persistence. She sees challenges as opportunities to learn, stays solution-focused when things shift, and believes that consistent effort—even small steps—adds up over time.

Sol will be the connective thread between our clients and our team, ensuring every business we work with feels supported, understood, and empowered from day one.

When she's not helping clients succeed, you'll find Sol exploring the food scene, spending time outdoors, or connecting with the LGBTQIA+ community in Córdoba.

Welcome to the team, Sol! We're excited to see the relationships you'll build and the impact you'll have.

Is your SaaS team drowning in spreadsheets, email chains, and hope?

What happens when your contractor gets hurt on the job?

SPOILER: You could lose everything.

Here's what we NEVER talk about:
❌ Contractor gets injured at your site

❌ They file a workers' comp claim
❌ Or worse - they damage your client's property

Who pays? YOU DO.

Watch this eye-opening clip about the liability nightmare waiting to happen when you hire contractors as individuals instead of insured businesses.

Ready to stop playing HR? Here's your hiring checklist:

MUST HAVES:
✅ PHR or SPHR certification (not easy to get!)
✅ 5+ years HR experience minimum
✅ Handled investigations, firings, layoffs
✅ Survived management changes
✅ Consultative, not just admin

BIGGEST RED FLAG: Employees afraid to talk to you

If your team won't share problems, you've already got HR issues brewing under the surface. 💣

Remember: HR isn't a department - it's a mindset. The right professional helps you:

- Catch hidden problems
- Build trust with your team
- Scale without drama
- Sleep better at night

Those 5 years of experience? They've seen everything. That's what you're paying for.

Stop guessing. Start growing. Get real HR help.

Quick exercise: Track how many hours you spend on HR this week.
Bet it's WAY more than you think.
5 questions every founder needs to answer:
1️⃣ How much time am I burning on HR tasks?
2️⃣ Where are my HR gaps? (Hint: They're everywhere)
3️⃣ What can I automate?
4️⃣ Are my processes documented?
5️⃣ Could an HR pro do this better?
The REAL cost isn't just your time...
Your hourly rate × HR hours = What you're spending
Lost deals & opportunities = 4-5x that amount 💸
You're literally setting money on fire.
And here's the scary part: What happens to your business if you're suddenly unavailable?
No processes = Business stops
No documentation = Chaos
No backup plan = Total failure
Your business should run without you. Not die without you.
Stop doing it all poorly. Start delegating strategically.
