From Xero to Hero: Integrate with Xero Accounting Software and Invoice Just Like We Do!

The Quote Roller app seamlessly turns a business proposal into an invoice from Xero. And why?

Because we like to get you paid quickly and we like to tell you about our rockin’, ever-growing list of integration partners.

Bonus, we use Xero too! The crazy Quote Roller team uses Xero because we LOVE life in the Cloud and we have staff around the world — from San Fran to Minsk to Barcelona to a CEO that’s in a different country every time we talk — and Xero allows us to do what we need to do from anywhere, even with lovely Maya in our laps.

Zlata our fab, but first-time bookkeeper chose to switch to Xero about eight months ago because the Help Center answers all her questions, the one-click reconciling with our bank “rules,” and she can keep track of our different categories within Xero to balance our whole budget, while the rest of the team heads keep track of their own expenses. She says that, since she’s a full-time mom she really appreciates how Xero is such a time-saver. Plus, we love that it integrates right in with our own Quote Roller sales proposals!
