Xero
AI Productivity & Business
Cloud accounting for small businesses, with JAX, a built-in AI finance assistant.
Last reviewed 11/2/2026
Overview
Xero is cloud accounting software built for small businesses: invoicing, bank feeds and reconciliation, bills, expenses, sales tax and reporting in one place. Every plan includes unlimited users, so your accountant or bookkeeper can work in the same books at no extra cost. Its AI assistant, JAX, can answer questions about your financial data, help create invoices and quotes, and suggest bank reconciliation matches. JAX works when you ask it, not as a background automation, so pair Xero with Zapier or Make if you want hands-off workflows.
