• Make the company local. Map country requirements such as local GAAP and IFRS, VAT and GST, e‑invoicing, multi‑currency and statutory reporting to how the company handles them, and flag clearly where it doesn’t yet.
• Build the regional playbook. Create demo environments, localized scenarios, RFP answers and technical collateral for each market, so the next deal there moves faster.
• Work with local partners. Support accounting firms, implementation partners and resellers in each region with technical enablement and joint deal work.
• Feed the roadmap. Turn what you hear in each market into clear localisation priorities for Product and Engineering, and use AI tooling to cut the time each evaluation takes.
