Partnership allows millions of small businesses and their advisors worldwide to leverage Xero wherever they work<\/p>\n
SAN MATEO, Calif., May 12, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Xero<\/a> (ASX: XRO), the global small business platform, today announced its live integration with Anthropic, the company behind Claude. Building on a multi-year partnership announced<\/a> in late March, the speed to market of the integration marks a significant milestone for Xero customers. The partnership brings Claude directly into Xero and Xero\u2019s financial data and tools into Claude.ai, changing how small businesses around the world can access and act on real-time financial intelligence.<\/p>\n Built on 20 years of innovation and trusted by over 4.5 million subscribers in more than 180 countries, Xero is redefining the future of small business finance. Tailored for the experience of conversing with Claude, this integration leverages the same foundational capabilities that Xero\u2019s superagent JAX<\/a> uses to run financial analysis. Xero\u2019s intentional approach to design agentic reasoning foundations to be reusable from day one accelerated the delivery of this new experience to customers. For the first time, Xero customers can leverage Xero and work with their financial data directly inside a leading AI platform.<\/p>\n “AI is rapidly becoming an integral part of our customers\u2019 workspace, and to be effective, that workspace requires Xero\u2019s trusted financial intelligence as its foundation,” said Diya Jolly, Chief Product & Technology Officer, Xero. “Delivering this financial context within Claude bridges the gap between the everyday AI tools customers use and Xero\u2019s rich financial data. When customers engage in wide-ranging conversations with Claude about their business strategy or day-to-day operations, they can now use Claude to instantly pull up their cash position, check overdue invoices, or see how profit is tracking, all without breaking their flow of work. That\u2019s what it means to have Xero wherever you work and it\u2019s part of our commitment to ensuring customers can leverage Xero at every point in their decision-making process.”<\/p>\n Today, users with an active Xero subscription can bring their financial data directly into their Claude conversations to solve immediate business challenges and provide financial clarity without switching tools. The insights generated in Claude link back to Xero for customers to take action, such as reviewing the full report, contact record or invoice detail. By providing live data from Xero rather than a static export, users can uncover strategic financial insights and reporting in areas like:<\/p>\n Revenue and profit: Uncover total earnings, if profit is up or down and how performance compares over time<\/p>\n Contacts and receivables: Discover outstanding payments, overdue invoices, and which customers contribute the most revenue<\/p>\n Financial position and cash position: Get a snapshot of business health by viewing assets, liabilities, and cash flow position<\/p>\n In line with Xero\u2019s responsible data use commitments<\/a>, data responsibility is foundational to the partnership. Financial data shared between the platforms is used solely for the user’s specific session \u2014 proprietary business data is never used to train Claude\u2019s AI models.<\/p>\n This live integration further extends the power of Xero OS<\/a> by delivering customers a trusted financial system for the agentic era and is underpinned by Xero\u2019s commitment to providing AI experiences grounded in Accountable Intelligence<\/a>.
