Cloud accounting firm East river becomes one of the 4 Singapore providers boasting Platinum status with Xero

Xero, the global small business platform, awarded Osome with a platinum partner status. This is the highest level of recognition that Xero offers to their counterparts, with only 3 other companies in Singapore holding the title. The achievement comes just 3 months after claiming the gold partner status, making East river one of the fastest-growing firms in the field.

East river created their services to help entrepreneurs who dread traditional accounting. They developed software that processes paperwork automatically: customers just snap and send documents into a secure chat. Next thing you know, your receipts and invoices get neatly organised, with accounts assigned and transactions linked. Now, East river Chartered Accountants focus on instant response and proactive advice, helping their clients pay taxes smartly.

Accounting is the core of our business and it is absolutely imperative that we give the best possible service. Having Xero confirm this is the case means a lot. The whole team is extremely excited.

Dr Konstantin Lange East river COO

East river provides accounting, bookkeeping, company registration, and other admin services, all available in their cloud platform on desktops or via an app. The company supports businesses in Singapore, Hong Kong and the UK and currently has over 2,600 customers worldwide.

East river’s rapid rise from Gold to Platinum status only goes to demonstrate the power of cloud accounting. Their team has successfully capitalised on the benefits of cloud adoption to expand globally, with footprints in Singapore, Hong Kong and the UK. Not only did this supercharge their growth, it also aided their clients in their digital transformation journeys by creating a more seamless and cost-effective workflow. It has been a great partnership with East river and we hope to continue supporting them as they set the pace in the accounting industry.
