Its roles close in a median of 32 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed

Overview

Xero is a New Zealand company founded in 2006 that built cloud accounting software for small businesses at a time when the category was dominated by desktop packages, and it grew by selling through accountants rather than around them. Its platform handles bookkeeping, invoicing, bank reconciliation, payroll and reporting, and it maintains an app marketplace of over a thousand integrations that extends it into industry-specific workflows. Headquartered in Wellington and listed in Australia, it holds a leading position in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom and has spent years attempting to establish itself in the United States against Intuit.

Products

Xero Payments and Lending
Payment collection and financing offered on top of the accounting data. Invoice data makes underwriting straightforward, and it converts a flat subscription customer into a transactional one worth considerably more.
xero.com
App Marketplace
Over a thousand third-party integrations extending the platform into specific industries. It lets the company serve trades, retail and hospitality without having to build vertical features for each of them itself.
xero.com
Payroll
Payroll processing localised to the tax and employment rules of each market. Payroll compliance differs entirely between countries, which is why expanding into a new market is slow, expensive and rarely reusable.
xero.com
Bank Feeds
Automated transaction feeds from banks that populate the ledger without manual entry. Reconciliation is the task small business owners hate most, and automating it is the single clearest benefit over desktop software.
xero.com
Accounting Platform
Cloud bookkeeping, invoicing and bank reconciliation for small businesses. Selling through accountants rather than directly was the decisive early choice, because an accountant who adopts it brings a whole client list.
