Getting more from Xero

From 1 October 2026, the price of Xero subscriptions will increase in New Zealand.

This year, Xero delivered a wave of new capabilities to make the software faster, more insightful, and smarter behind the scenes.

*note, if you use Xero Payroll for more than 10 employees on your Ultimate plan, the price for each additional employee will increase from NZ$1 to NZ$2 per employee per month.

If you're paying more for your software, it's worth making sure you're getting the most value from it.

Xero is much more than a bookkeeping platform; used effectively, it provides real-time financial information that can help you make better business decisions throughout the season.

Some features worth exploring include:

• Bank rules that automate transaction coding.
• Receipt capture using the mobile app.
• Real-time collaboration with your MBS advisor.
• Instant visibility of your business performance.
