On Thursday, April 18, 2024, members of the Syft team attended the Xero Awards South Africa ceremony in Kramerville. The venue was decked out in blue and white balloons, complete with a very photogenic Xero sign, gorgeous ball-gowned musicians, and a one-of-a-kind sunset view of the Johannesburg skyline.

We are so proud to partner with many of the accounting firms nominated for awards this year and to receive such great feedback and encouragement from them.

After our hors d'oeuvres, we filed into the dining hall to uncover this year's winners, and, as you may have realized from the title, we were one of them! Syft Analytics won the Global App of the Year Award for 2024. Read on to learn about what this means.

The Global App of the Year prize recognizes an app's dedication to client care, innovation, knowledge sharing, and Xero advocacy. It also considers customer growth and great user experience. We were recipients of this award because of our commitment in all these areas.

Syft Analytics not only enables Xero users to create and collaborate on visually appealing reports but also seamlessly integrates with Xero, enhancing its financial reporting and data analysis capabilities.

We have thousands of live chat conversations with users every day, and our local team has a rating that's closer to 100% than 90%! Moreover, Syft over 300 5-star reviews on the Xero App Store.

One of our recent innovations, the Financial Statements add-on, has been a game-changer for many accountants. This feature seamlessly integrates financial reports, automated disclosures, assurances, and policies, providing a comprehensive solution for your financial reporting needs. With a library of IFRS and GAAP disclosure templates suitable for multiple regions, this add-on offers unparalleled flexibility.

We are passionate about sharing knowledge via live training and online certifications. More than 100,000 lessons have been completed on our online platform, Syft Campus. We regularly update courses, release blogs, and host webinars to keep our users up to date. We have also recently introduced in-person Syft Training sessions in our office in Johannesburg.

Congratulations to all the finalists and winners. And thanks so much to the Xero team for organizing such a fabulous event! We are honored to have been recognized in this way and are holding thumbs for the upcoming awards ceremony in the UK.
