Looking for a Xero alternative?
The free, Australian, AI-first alternative to Xero

Why Australian businesses are switching their bookkeeping
A genuinely free core
A free-forever tier covers the bookkeeping basics; paid plans start at just $19/month and scale by seats — not a subscription just to get started.
An AI accountant, built in
Max categorises transactions, reconciles accounts, prepares your BAS and forecasts 13 weeks of cash flow — inside the product, not a bolt-on.
Your data stays in Australia
Everything is stored in Google Cloud's Sydney region, and AI features run in-region. Australian data sovereignty by design.
Built for multi-entity groups
Group cash-flow roll-up and consolidation across all your entities in one view — not one login per company.

When Xero may suit you better
- Xero connects with more than 1,000 apps, so if your business already relies on a particular add-on, it is likely to be there. Source
- More than 250,000 accountants and bookkeepers use Xero. If yours works in it and wants you to, that is a real reason to stay. Source
- AccountsAndGo has a live bank feed for Revolut Business, which syncs daily. Feeds for the Australian banks (CBA, NAB, ANZ, Westpac and the rest) go through the Consumer Data Right and are still in development, so for those you import transactions by CSV or straight from Xero today. Direct ATO lodgement of BAS and STP is also still in development — the app prepares them ready to lodge. If you bank with an Australian bank and need a feed right now, an established product may suit you better for the moment.
Moving from Xero
AccountsAndGo connects to Xero directly and imports your accounts, contacts, invoices and bank transactions, so you can run both side by side while you decide.
Xero and AccountsAndGo: common questions
- Can I bring my Xero data into AccountsAndGo?
- Yes. AccountsAndGo connects to Xero and imports your chart of accounts, contacts, invoices and bank transactions. Xero stays untouched, so you can compare the two with your own numbers before changing anything.
- Do I have to leave Xero to use AccountsAndGo?
- No. You can keep Xero as your ledger and use AccountsAndGo alongside it for group cash-flow forecasting and its AI accountant, reading from the same Xero data.
- Is AccountsAndGo cheaper than Xero?
- AccountsAndGo has a free core tier for one business, and paid plans are priced by seats. Compare the plans on our pricing page with what you pay today, including any add-ons you use.
