Xero announces North America Product & Tech Hub in Vancouver
Hub will bring together engineering talent to advance Xero’s global product and AI strategy
Toronto, ON — April 28, 2026 —Xero, the global small business platform, today announced the rollout of a new North America Product & Tech Hub in Vancouver, British Columbia. Building on Xero’s expansive global network of specialized cross-functional teams, the Vancouver-based Product & Tech Hub will serve as a strategic node in Xero’s global innovation network. This Hub will support Xero's teams to move faster, simplify how they work, and deliver better outcomes at scale for millions of customers globally.
Operating within Vancouver’s robust tech ecosystem, the North America Hub will expand Xero’s engineering presence in the region while advancing its broader technology and AI roadmap. In addition to AI development—including integrations with Anthropic and other leading AI companies—the Hub will be anchored by Xero’s Accounting Engine team focused on accelerating Xero’s core accounting products.
“Xero is the go-to financial operating system for small businesses and their advisors for the AI era. By establishing Vancouver as our North America Product & Tech Hub, we’re inviting top engineering talent to help us redefine how businesses operate and grow in the era of AI-powered finance,” said Rick Carragher, Chief Technology Officer at Xero. “Vancouver sits at a unique intersection of high-calibre talent and global connectivity, making it an obvious choice as we continue to expand our products and drive innovation for small businesses around the world.”
Built on 20 years of tech innovation and trusted by a customer base of over 4.5 million subscribers in 180+ countries, Xero is architecting the future of finance for small business. Following Xero’s entry into the Canadian market in 2019 and the acquisitions of Hubdoc and TaxCycle, the Vancouver-based Product & Tech Hub anchors Xero’s presence in Canada, in addition to its existing office in Toronto, leveraging local engineering capability to drive both regional innovation and global collaboration.
