We’re a Xero Platinum Partner

Platinum is the highest tier in Xero’s partner programme. It means your Xero account is set up, run and supported by a team Xero itself certifies.

What a Xero Platinum Partner is

Xero ranks its UK accounting partners in five tiers: Blue, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. A firm moves up by earning partner points, which come from the number of clients it runs on Xero and its own use of Xero products, and by keeping its team certified on the software. Platinum is the top tier, awarded to firms with 1,000 or more partner points.

BSQ Accounting became a Xero Platinum Partner in May 2026. Every member of the accounting team is Xero certified, and the team includes a dedicated Xero Trainer.

One thing it isn’t: a rating of accounting quality. Xero measures how much of a firm’s work runs on Xero and how well its people know the software. That’s why we pair it with our ACCA qualifications rather than claim it on its own.

Xero partner tiers

  • Platinum 1,000+ points · BSQ Accounting
  • Gold 300–999 points
  • Silver 75–299 points
  • Bronze 25–74 points
  • Blue 1–24 points

Points come from client subscriptions and the practice’s own use of Xero products. Source: Xero UK Partner Programme.

A team that knows the software inside out

Your accountants are all Xero certified - they know how to get all the information they need directly from Xero. No more emailing across spreadsheets that break your data limits.

Platinum partners get direct lines to Xero’s specialist support and account management teams. If something goes wrong with the software itself, we don’t join a queue.
