The company recently established Toronto as its North American hub for product and technology development and will continue to build upon Xero’s data automation capabilities for Canadian small business owners and their advisors.
“As the daughter of immigrant entrepreneurs, I remember watching my mom do the bookkeeping and my dad hand delivering three-part carbon invoices to their customers,” said Pang. “A platform like Xero would have been an absolute game-changer for them, and I’m thrilled to help advance our mission to be the most trusted and insightful platform for small businesses in Canada.”
