“For the year end tax return process, we’ll use Xero to help make sure all of our expenses are accurately reflected to help make sure that we are getting the most out of the business as possible in that process.”
“We use Xero for the same reason that we buy power tools – they help maximize production and efficiency. It’s the same with our software.”
“The fact I can add my accountant as a Xero user is fantastic. I don’t have to bring him anything, and if he has any questions he can just call”

Business owners are redefining what it means to be a self-made entrepreneur, and their aspirations for their business are closely tied to their new vision of the American dream.
