Canadian accounting and business advisory firm Grant Thornton and global online accounting software company Xero have teamed up to launch the Business Boost program to help Canadian women entrepreneurs solve business problems with a complimentary custom cloud accounting solution.

“We know these last 18 months have been hard for all Canadian SMBs, but that women in particular have been disproportionately impacted. We hope to help complement and build upon the great work these women are already doing so they get time back to focus on doing what they love,” said Faye Pang, Xero’s Canada country manager, in an Oct. 12 press release.

Program benefits and services

Five women entrepreneurs will be selected and awarded entry into the program.
