Heather Smith recently invited me as a guest on her Cloud Stories podcast series. You may know Heather as the author of the Xero for Dummies series of books. She's also a business consultant and the Australian writer for XU Magazine, an independent magazine for Xero users.

On the podcast, Heather and I have a great time talking about: 

• How Cloudsourced Accounting succeeded as an online bookkeeping company

• The acquisition of Cloudsourced Accounting by Harshman Phillips & Company

• What clients want from their CPAs

• How Xero add-ons can stand out in a crowded market (mentions include Bill.com, Expensify, Abacus, Vend, and Square)

• What Xero needs to do to crack the U.S. market

You can read the transcript on the Cloud Stories website and listen to the podcast on iTunes.
