DENVER — May 28, 2025 —Xero, the global small business platform, today announced an integration with Tallyfor, the modern platform for business tax engagements, to deliver a solution designed to streamline tax preparation and boost efficiency for accounting firms.

Accounting firms today face capacity shortages, recruitment and retention difficulties, and the burden of outdated legacy systems that lead to hours of manual, error-prone work and data entry. To address these challenges, this integration offers a modern, cloud-based workflow that integrates seamlessly with Xero, making it easy to turn financial data into tax returns and streamline the traditional tax preparation process.

To enable accounting partners to experience these powerful benefits firsthand, Xero is offering 12 months of complimentary access to Tallyfor’s tax workflow tool. This limited-time offer allows firms to explore the full capabilities of the integration and see the tangible impact on their efficiency.

“Xero's dedication to accounting professionals is evident not only in our own platform, but also in the strong partnerships we cultivate, to provide the most comprehensive and effective solutions. This collaboration with Tallyfor exemplifies that commitment,” said Ben Richmond, Managing Director of North America, Xero. “By building a more integrated workflow, we're streamlining tax preparation and providing the connected tools accounting firms need to grow their practice and deliver greater value to their clients.”

The Xero and Tallyfor integration delivers significant benefits that transform tax preparation workflows:

• Effortless setup: Accountants can pull Xero data into Tallyfor in just a few clicks, allowing them to get started on the tax process immediately.
• Significant time savings: Tax preparation time is drastically reduced, freeing up accountants to focus on more strategic and client-facing tasks.
• Enhanced data accuracy and streamlined workflows: The integration automates the posting of journal entries from Tallyfor back to Xero, ensuring data accuracy and creating a seamless tax cycle.

“Tallyfor’s mission is to modernize tax preparation. Working together with Xero, we can provide a deeply integrated workflow that helps tax teams regain all the time typically lost to the inefficiency of legacy systems. We look forward to deepening our collaboration and integration so we can deliver the best possible tax season experience to Xero partners," said Peter Wen, Co-founder and CEO of Tallyfor.
