Yesterday we celebrated our third year in biz-ness with our Christmas party! Thanks to everyone for coming, and to @HRManNZ for once again leading another successful year of Summer of Biz. #summerofbiz #internships

This year, Xero took 23 Summer of Tech and Biz interns across Auckland and Wellington. That's 23 careers kickstarted by one company, and we think that's worth celebrating. #internships #summerofbiz
