Xero is a cloud-native accounting platform for small businesses — the leading SMB accounting platform outside the United States, with dominant market share in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and growing global adoption. Xero AI provides automated bank reconciliation suggestions — AI matching bank transactions to accounting records and suggesting the appropriate GL coding and contact matching. Just Ok is Xero's AI matching model — predicting the correct transaction match with explanations, enabling bookkeepers to confirm AI suggestions rapidly rather than matching each transaction manually. Smart Lists enable proactive business intelligence — identifying invoices overdue, contacts with unusual activity, and business patterns that need attention. Short-term Cash Flow shows projected inflows and outflows — forward-looking cash visibility for small business owners making payment decisions. Analytics Plus provides financial intelligence beyond basic reporting — profitability analysis, budget variance, and business performance tracking. Payroll integration (Gusto, ADP) and native payroll in some geographies enables payroll alongside accounting. Xero's app marketplace provides 1,000+ integrations connecting to industry-specific tools, payment processors, and business applications. With 3M+ subscribers across 180+ countries, Xero validates as the global SMB accounting platform of choice outside the US.
Xero AI runs as llm assistant software built around data and text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, ios, and android.
