Xero

Corma connects to Xero to improve visibility into software budgets, reduce SaaS costs, and deliver Identity Access Management (IAM) as a service.

What is Xero?

Xero is a cloud-based accounting platform that helps businesses manage invoicing, bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, payroll, and financial reporting in one centralized system. It is designed to give small and medium-sized businesses real-time visibility into their finances while reducing manual accounting work through automation and integrations.

Beyond core accounting, Xero also connects with a large ecosystem of third-party apps, allowing businesses to extend its functionality into areas like expense management, payments, forecasting, and ERP-style operations.

In simple terms, Xero replaces spreadsheets and fragmented tools with a single financial system that updates continuously, helping teams track cash flow, manage transactions, and make faster financial decisions.
