# Xero

An accounting software product for small businesses and sole traders that manages invoicing, payments, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, and payroll.

**Route:** surfaced by the tax compliance automation lane's de-branded queries → competitor to stripe.com.

**Why it's on the map:** A business evaluating the anchor for its financial infrastructure would shortlist Xero because Xero sells overlapping capabilities—accepting payments, managing invoices and billing—to the same small-business buyer, making either a choice that replaces the other.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Accounting Software for Small Businesses

> Manage all your accounting needs in one place

> Simplify and streamline your billing process
