What is Xero?

What is Xero?

We find that most teams based outside of the US tend to use Xero, while the US seems to favor QuickBooks Online, although we believe Xero to be a leader in the accounting space even within the US.

If you're a smaller business, running on a cash-basis, and looking for the most modern accounting software, you might want to consider Kick, but if you're looking for something tried, true, and tested, or run an accrual-basis business, Xero is a great choice, regardless of whether you're a US or non-US business.
