Xendoo wins Xero’s top national honor for the second consecutive year, recognized for its QuickBooks to Xero migration technology and white glove client experience.
Xendoo has been awarded Xero National Partner of the Year as part of Xero’s 2026 Partner Awards. The recognition celebrates accounting and bookkeeping practices that show exceptional commitment to their clients, a real drive for innovation, and an all around standard of excellence.
Why This Award Matters If You’re Choosing a Xero Accounting Partner
If you’re searching for the best Xero accounting partner, the National Partner of the Year title is one of the clearest signals Xero itself gives. It isn’t a paid badge or a directory listing; it’s judged each year by Xero leadership alongside guest judges from the Xero community and industry. Winning it once is a strong signal. Winning it two years running means the standard of service is consistent, not a one time fluke.
That distinction matters because “Xero partner” gets used loosely online. A firm can hold a basic certification and still call itself a partner. National Partner of the Year is different: it’s Xero’s own judgment of which firm delivered the most outstanding support to small businesses nationally, out of its entire US partner network.
The Technology Behind the Award: Q2X
At the center of Xendoo’s win is Q2X, Xendoo’s own QuickBooks to Xero migration platform. Q2X has now moved more than 53 million transactions and 1,250 years of combined historical financial data from QuickBooks into Xero, typically completing a full historical migration within 24 hours.
That speed answers one of the most common questions business owners ask before switching accounting platforms: what happens to years of transaction history? Standard migration tools often transfer only recent balances and leave the rest behind. Q2X was built specifically to preserve complete, transaction level history so a business doesn’t lose years of financial records in the process of moving off QuickBooks. All history, all time at no cost is an exceptional value proposition.
Why So Many Businesses Are Migrating to Xero Right Now from QuickBooks
Interest in Xero migrations has surged as Intuit continues phasing out QuickBooks Desktop, pushing more businesses to evaluate cloud based alternatives before support windows close. For firms and business owners weighing the move, the questions tend to repeat: How long will migration take? Will historical data survive the switch? Who actually manages the transition?
Xendoo’s answer is a structured, white glove client experience that pairs the Q2X technology with dedicated support: a guided onboarding process, a dedicated accountant, weekly reconciliation, and closed books delivered as early as the 10th of the following month. It’s the combination of migration technology and hands on accounting suppor that Xero recognized with this year’s award.
What Xendoo’s Founder Said About Winning Xero National Partner of the Year
“Recognition as Xero’s National Partner of the Year for the second consecutive year is an incredible honor,” said Lil Roberts, Founder and CEO at Xendoo. “It is a reflection of the dedication of our team, the strength of our partnership with Xero, and the trust our customers place in us. We’re proud of what we’ve built together and grateful for the opportunity to continue helping small businesses thrive.”
What Matan Bar, US CEO of Xero, Said
This year, eight trophies were up for grabs across US based accountants and bookkeepers, including Small Firm of the Year, Mid Size Firm of the Year, Large Firm of the Year, National Partner of the Year, Advisory Innovator of the Year, Community Champion, Rising Star of the Year, and AI Efficiency Champion.
“Xero’s partners are helping shape the future of accounting by pairing trusted advice with innovation that delivers real value for small businesses,” said Matan Bar, US CEO of Xero. “We’re proud to recognize firms that are raising the bar for client service and making a meaningful impact across the US.”
How to Evaluate a Xero Accounting Partner
For business owners researching Xero partners on their own, a few questions are worth asking before committing to one:
- Does the firm handle full historical data migration, or only current balances?
- Who does the ongoing bookkeeping: a dedicated accountant, or a rotating pool?
- How fast are books closed each month, and is that timeline in writing?
- Has the firm been independently recognized by Xero, and at what level (certification, partner status, or a judged award)?
