Xero | Your accountant could soon be managing carbon reporting along with your tax

Xero | Your accountant could soon be managing carbon reporting along with your tax

In this episode, Kiarne chats with Doctor Tamara Somers, the director of Sustainability and ESG at Xero. Tamara shares the fascinating career journey that led her to a leadership role at Xero, and how that role has evolved since joining the NZ-born software giant in 2021.

Tamara unveils the unique responsibility that Xero bears when it comes to sustainability. Xero doesn't just focus on managing their own operational impact, but also plays a crucial role in supporting small businesses with sustainability initiatives, carbon accounting, and environmental reporting.

We unpack the surprising ways that financial data is intrinsically linked to carbon accounting, what that means for Xero customers, and what the accountant’s role could look like in the future (Spoiler alert, looks like carbon reporting is headed straight for the finance team). Plus, Tamara shares some thought-provoking ideas for the 70% of Xero small business customers who want to become more sustainable but don’t know where to start.
