Bookkeeping
Xendoo
Xendoo provides online bookkeeping, accounting, and tax services to small businesses. Work is performed by a dedicated accounting team inside QuickBooks Online or Xero, and the firm says clients own the software, so their data can move to another provider if they leave.
Bookkeeping runs on a weekly cycle: expenses are reconciled weekly and monthly financial reports, including a profit-and-loss statement, are delivered on a schedule. Every plan includes a dashboard with around-the-clock access to financial data, trends, and key metrics, reachable from a mobile app or desktop portal. Tax work is handled year-round by CPAs, covering preparation and filing for the different business structures. A Rapid Response team exists to catch up books that are months or years behind, which the site ties to getting funding applications ready.
Xendoo says it serves businesses in all industries and publishes dedicated pages for professional services firms, consumer packaged goods brands, and online sellers. Related offerings include Q2X, a specialist-assisted migration from QuickBooks Online to Xero; a franchisor dashboard with item 19 support and benchmarking; and AdvisorConnect, a platform giving wealth advisors, family offices, and CPA practices a view of client financials. Payroll is handled through a partnership with Gusto, and the home page displays a Xero Partner of the Year award.
What to check directly: the crawled pages do not publish plan prices, so confirm the monthly fee, which accounting method is included (the FAQ distinguishes cash basis from modified accrual, and modified accrual excludes deferred revenue, prepaid expenses, and other accruals), and what add-ons such as payroll cost.

Common questions
- What accounting software does Xendoo work in?

- How is payroll handled?
- Xendoo partners with Gusto for payroll and says clients receive a 15% discount plus two months free. It also points clients to Gusto for issuing and filing 1099s.
- When does a contractor need a Form 1099-MISC?
- Xendoo's FAQ says a Form 1099-MISC generally must be sent to all contractors, including partnerships and LLCs, that were hired and paid more than $600 during the year.
- What is cash basis accounting?
- Xendoo defines cash basis accounting as recognizing revenue when cash is received and expenses when they are paid. It does not recognize accounts receivable or accounts payable.
- What is modified accrual accounting?
- Xendoo describes it as a blend of accrual and cash basis accounting that includes loans payable, month-end inventory adjustments, and AR and AP where the client invoices and bills in Xero or QuickBooks Online. It excludes deferred revenue, prepaid expenses, prepaid insurance, and other accruals, with a year-end depreciation and amortization entry made if Xendoo files the return.
