Company Announcement
We’re thrilled to welcome Jack Overton to the Vinyl team as our new Sales Lead.
Jack joins us at a pivotal moment. Vinyl is one of the fastest-growing apps in the Xero ecosystem, helping accounting and bookkeeping firms streamline client meetings with AI-powered notes and follow-ups. As we continue to scale rapidly in 2026, Jack’s appointment will help us deepen our partnerships with firms and bring Vinyl to even more practices around the world.
This comes after a successful beta and launch in 2025, where Vinyl is being used by hundreds of accounting firms globally, capturing 400+ hours of meetings a day. They've since been selected to join the Xero Partner Growth Programme with a handful of other apps, made it onto two 2026 App Power Lists, and were shortlisted for both Emerging App of the Year and Practice App of the Year.
It’s all been driven by one thing: solving real problems for real customers. We’ve seen raving feedback and clear results. Vinyl is making a massive difference to firms and their clients.
Jack brings a wealth of experience from leading sales at Pixie and AccountsIQ, and has built his career working closely with accountants and bookkeepers. He understands the intricacies of practice management software and the real-world challenges firms face every day.
“I’ve spent years working with firms that want to run smarter and serve clients better,” Jack said. “Vinyl solves a pain point that every practice feels: missed follow-ups, lost context, and time wasted in admin. I’m excited to help more firms discover how powerful this tool can be.”
Jack’s deep industry knowledge, paired with his commercial acumen, makes him a natural fit for our next phase of growth. We’re delighted to have him on board.
With Jack on board, we’re pressing full steam ahead with our 2026 plans, including:
Smarter AI outputs beyond summaries
