Xero is a New Zealand-founded, ASX-listed cloud accounting platform established in 2006 and used by more than 4.9 million subscribers across more than 180 countries. The platform covers invoicing, accounts payable and receivable, payroll, bank reconciliation, expense management, and financial reporting, all in a single cloud-based system accessible from any device. Widely adopted across Australian and New Zealand organisations of all sizes, Xero is frequently used by councils to manage financial operations, with its automated bank feeds, real-time reporting, and integration with third-party platforms making it a practical choice for finance teams looking to reduce manual data entry and reconciliation.
Xero integrates with over 1,000 third-party applications and is built on an open API, making it compatible with a wide range of council systems and workflows. For councils already using Xero, this flexibility means financial data can be connected to other platforms without duplication or manual transfer.
Xero is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure and holds ISO 27001 certification. Council data is processed in accordance with Australian privacy requirements, and the platform supports Single Touch Payroll compliance for Australian payroll reporting obligations.
