Xero, a small business platform, has teamed up with accounting practice management platform Karbon to launch an integrated solution that enhances productivity for accounting firms.

This collaboration will integrate Xero’s financial tools with Karbon’s workstream-driven platform.

The new solution will be designed to save time, simplify workflows, and enable firms to concentrate on high-value client services.

The partnership will address various complexities of the industry, the increasing demand for client advisory services, and the necessity to adopt automation to improve efficiency.

The integration offers a seamless connection between Xero’s cloud-based financial tools and Karbon’s collaborative platform, streamlining operations and prioritising strategic client work.

This partnership will integrate client relationship management, financial data handling, and practice operations, enhanced by AI to boost accounting firm efficiency.

It will aid in streamlining workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and free accountants to focus on strategic planning and client advisory services.

The partnership will offer tailored tools to support task management, financial oversight, and sustainable growth, while seamless, real-time exchange of client, billing, and payment data simplifies categorisation, onboarding, and engagement.

Xero Americas managing director Ben Richmond said: “This new integration between Karbon and Xero will be a significant benefit to our customers.

“It will help them work faster and much more efficiently, freeing them up to spend more time working directly with their clients – which is what modern accounting is all about. We're partnering with Karbon because they care about customers as much as we do, and together, we're empowering accountants and bookkeepers to digitize their practices, and deliver great advisory services to help their small business clients even more.”

The integration is currently available via Xero App Store in the US and other significant Xero markets, with more features expected to launch in the upcoming months.

Karbon, established in 2014, has a global presence with customers in 33 countries and employees in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the UK.

In February 2025, Karbon expanded its Practice Marketplace to include all accounting firms looking to buy or sell.
