Why We Love Xero (Recorded at XeroCon 2026)
This episode comes to you live from XeroCon 2026 in Denver, recorded inside a vintage Airstream turned podcast studio!
Lynda, Sarah, Steve, and producer Teaira dish on why Xero has become such a viable platform for law firms, from its accountant-friendly pricing and reporting tools to its seamless Clio integration and app ecosystem.
They talk through the differences between Xero and QuickBooks for legal bookkeeping, touch on 1099 filing, and share some fun behind-the-scenes updates on the podcast's growth (20,000+ downloads and counting), the Accountants Law Lab, and a sneak peek at a new resource in the works for law firm owners.
A lighter, on-the-road episode packed with real insight into why more legal accountants are giving Xero a serious look.
