Aussie Google and Xero partners merge

Australian cloud integrator Clear Business Dynamics has merged with Xero Gold partner Accodex, in the latest example of the increasing ties between the IT and accounting channels.

The resulting hybrid firm will combine a full service accounting firm with Clear Business Dynamics implementation and support services, which covers products from Xero as well as Google Apps, Vend, Geo-op and Zendesk, among others.

Both are Adelaide firms, with Accodex run by 27-year-old Chris Hooper and Clear Business Dynamics by 32-year-old Michael Macolino – an entrepreneur with a gym among his previous ventures.
