About Xero and pricing
Xero is one of the most widely used cloud accounting platforms in the world, trusted by over four million businesses across more than 180 countries. It is designed to make everyday accounting simpler for founders, finance teams and accountants without needing enterprise complexity.
At its core, Xero helps you manage invoices, expenses, bank reconciliation, VAT, payroll integrations, reporting and cash flow in one place. Everything is cloud based, so you can access your finances from anywhere and work collaboratively with your accountant or bookkeeper in real time.
At FounderPass, we see Xero as one of two default choices for many startups (the other being Quickbooks) because it balances power with usability. It is easy enough for founders to run day to day finances, while still being robust enough for professional accountants to rely on.
Xero pricing and FounderPass discount
Xero pricing is based on the plan you choose and the size of your business. Through FounderPass, new customers can access 90% off Xero for 6 months on the following plans:
- Ignite
- Grow
- Comprehensive
- Ultimate
The discount is applied automatically when you sign up using the link on this page. No promo code is required.
After the 6 month discount period, your subscription continues at Xero’s standard pricing.
From our experience, this discount can save founders hundreds of pounds in their first six months, which is often when cash flow matters most.
What you can do with Xero
Xero allows you to:
- Send invoices and accept payments
- Track expenses and receipts
- Reconcile bank transactions automatically
- Manage VAT and tax reporting
- Run payroll through integrations such as Gusto
- Track projects and profitability
- Generate financial reports and forecasts
Xero also includes Hubdoc for automatic data capture, helping you remove paperwork and manual entry from your accounting process.
When you join Xero, you can access onboarding support and a global network of certified Xero accountants and bookkeepers if you need expert help.
Who Xero is designed for
Xero is built to work for a wide range of business types, including:
- Startups
- Small businesses
- Medium and large businesses
- Freelancers and solopreneurs
- Landlords
- Nonprofits and clubs
It is also widely used by accountants and bookkeepers as their preferred accounting platform for client work.
Across FounderPass members, Xero is especially popular with SaaS companies, ecommerce businesses, agencies, consultants, property businesses and service based companies.
Xero integrations
Xero connects with thousands of third party apps, allowing you to automate and extend your accounting workflow. Popular integrations include Stripe, PayPal, GoCardless, HubSpot, Capsule, Deputy, Employment Hero and many more.
This ecosystem is one of the reasons Xero scales so well as businesses grow.
Why founders use Xero
From our perspective at FounderPass, founders choose Xero because it:
- Keeps finances organised and transparent
- Saves time on admin and reconciliation
- Works well with accountants
- Scales with business growth
- Integrates easily with modern software stacks
It removes much of the stress around financial management, especially for founders who are not finance specialists.
About Xero as a company
Xero was founded in 2006 by Rod Drury with the goal of making accounting accessible and easy to use for businesses. Since then, it has grown into one of the global leaders in cloud accounting, particularly strong in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and increasingly in the United States.
Despite its scale, Xero has retained a strong focus on usability and product design, which is one of the reasons it remains so popular with startups.
Our view at FounderPass
Xero is one of those tools that founders rarely regret choosing. It is reliable, well supported and widely accepted by accountants worldwide.
The FounderPass Xero discount simply makes that decision easier by reducing the cost barrier during your first six months.
If you are starting a business or switching accounting software, Xero is one of the safest long term choices you can make.
Xero alternatives
While Xero is one of the most widely used cloud accounting platforms for startups and small businesses, it doesn't mean its the best nor the most suitable for your needs. Some teams choose alternatives based on specific feature needs, regional preferences, user interface, or pricing structure.
Alternatives typically offer accounting, invoicing, expenses, reporting, and bank reconciliation but may differ in how they handle automation, integrations, payroll, and support. The best choice depends on the way your business operates, the tools you already use, and your preference for simplicity versus advanced functionality.
