Hide AdXero is the largest cloud accounting software provider outside the US. In the UK, where its operations are headed by Scots-born managing director Gary Turner, subscriber numbers grew by 79,000 to 212,000.
“It has been a milestone year for Xero, achieving operating cash flow break-even in the second half of the financial year, and doubling subscriber numbers in less than two years to pass the one million subscriber mark,” said chief executive Rod Drury.
“We continue to recruit exceptional talent, and I’m proud our team has executed on all fronts to again achieve strong results for this financial year and build new foundations for additional waves of growth in the future.”
The firm recently agreed a tie-up with Administrate, the Edinburgh-based provider of training management software, in a move that will give customers the ability to integrate Xero’s systems with information about the performance of their online training programmes.
