Xero wins best application award
We received exciting news today that Jakob Nielsen “the king of usability” released his list of the 10 Best Application UIs of 2008 and Xero is on the list. We love the priceless comments like:
“…[Xero] puts users at ease and projects a sense of playfulness.”
“Come on, making accounting fun? That’s an award-winning design.”
We found out about the announcement from one of our customers who wrote to us saying, “He’s 1000% accurate. We use it. We love it. Who’d seriously have thought that an accounting tool could be so gloriously smooth and even fun to use.”
Getting industry recognition is nice, but hearing it from people who use it everyday is what really matters to us.

We hear you!
[...] a surge in demand from people around the world, thanks to the attention we’re getting from winning the 10 Best Apps of 2008 [...]
Please make it available to non-english speaking countries, like Portugal :)
ONLY 2 features are needed for that to be a reality:
1) The ability to (zelf-)customize/translate invoice and receipt templates + email messages sent to clients
2) SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) ready (became mandatory in some European countries since Jan.2008, including Portugal) - OCDE Guidance Note: http://www.oecd.org/LongAbstract/0,3425,en_2649_33749_34910278_1_1_1_1,00.html
Thanks
Thanks for the links Alfredo. Useful information. I like the file format, it looks straight forward.
That first comment says it all. Bring it to the U.S. Anything to get rid of Quickbooks and move my accounting online in a way that works!
Please bring Xero to the US. We’re all using Quickbooks and it’s killing us.
