Automating fulfilment, beautifully

At the heart of Xero is a bold ethos, to create beautiful business. Their boldness is certainly paying dividends. In 2006, Xero set out to become the accounting hero for small businesses by offering real-time access to a unified ledger via cloud-based accounting software, on Mac, PC, tablet or phone.

The simple promise of helping you get invoices paid sooner to keep a healthy cash flow was enough to leave any small to medium business owner somewhat flushed.

From Xero to IPO

This spirit of optimism and certainty of mission took this new breed of business, software as a service, from Xero to IPO in their second year, 2007. In 2019 their market cap on the Australian Stock Exchange exceeded $10 billion NZD and they were ranked as the third most valuable publicly listed New Zealand company.

Big plans for small business

After their meteoric rise to becoming the leading cloud-based accounting software in NZ, Australia and the UK, with their current subscribers sitting at over 2 million, globally, they have cultivated a more expansive vision, which is to help small businesses thrive through better tools, information and connections.

The acquisition of Waddle in August 2020 an Australian-based invoice financing start-up, which allows small businesses to access quick loans secured by their account receivables, is a testament to their vision coming into sharp focus.

Xero is seen as the gold standard in the software as a service category with their culture firmly anchored in customer-centricity. The nature of software as a service, with Xero using a subscription model, dictates that they have earn their customers business every month. To ensure adequate customer support touch points, 75% of employees are dedicated to customer service and business operations.

The insight into small business needs and developing a valuable network of support is what will set Xero apart.

They offer more than 200 secure connections with banks and financial service partners around the world, with links to more than 700 apps for business and an API integration available for external applications.
