Why contractors switch

  • Set up in minutes — import customers, send your first estimate the same day
  • Everything in one place: no juggling spreadsheets, chat threads or paper
  • Mobile-first so techs update jobs from the truck, not the office
  • See real profit per job, not just revenue
The problem

Why it matters

  • Xero can feel built for bigger service businesses than a small trade outfit.
  • Pricing stacks up fast once you add features one at a time.
  • Contractors end up using a third of it and paying for the rest.
