Practice management solutions have become essential as accounting firms look to scale and manage complex workflows. According to Karbon’s 2024 Firm Usage Survey, Karbon users report an average time saving of 18.5 hours per employee per week and an 18% increase in employee productivity.

“At Karbon, we’ve always admired Xero for the impact they’ve made on the accounting profession around the world,” said Mary Delaney, CEO of Karbon. “Our joint customers consistently tell us that Karbon and Xero are two of the most essential tools in their tech stack, so this deep integration is an exciting leap forward. We’re giving firms an efficient, more powerful foundation to run and grow their firms, and ultimately the clarity and time they need to focus on their clients.”

Existing joint customers of Xero and Karbon are already anticipating the benefits. As Jason Ackerman, CPA at BNA CPAs & Advisors, explains: "We're very excited about the Xero and Karbon integration. Both Xero and Karbon have been at the forefront of accounting technology for over a decade now, and as long time users of both software, the ability for our firm to have two-way syncing between both platforms will allow us to spend more time with our customers and less time on manual tasks. It will give us much needed visibility in Karbon that we didn't have before."

By combining Xero's financial software with Karbon's practice management tools, a powerful synergy is created. Xero's rich financial data, when combined with Karbon's robust practice management capabilities, provides accounting firms with an efficient, integrated solution. This enhanced ecosystem equips accounting firms to excel in an increasingly competitive market.
