Xero TaxTouch is Tinder for the Gig Economy’s Taxes

Xero TaxTouch is Tinder for the Gig Economy’s Taxes

Screen Shot 2016-03-08 at 4.14.33 PMToday, cloud-accounting platform Xero announced a mobile app called Xero TaxTouch that will benefit the 18.5 million U.S. freelance workers.

Xero TaxTouch aims to help self-employed workers track business expenses and manage their business-related tax deductions. In the Tinder-like user experience, freelancers separate their expenses by swiping right to file a business expense (see image on left) and swiping left to file a personal one.

The app also tracks estimated taxes and generates a report to help users prepare a Schedule C document to send to their Xero tax accounting professional (if they have one).

The New Zealand-based company has long been involved in the developer community, and recently launched Dev TV, a YouTube channel that discusses the latest from the Xero Ecosystem, API releases, and integrations.

Xero most recently presented at FinDEVr San Francisco 2014, where David Pollock, the company’s head of U.S. partnerships, gave a talk on Building an API-Driven Ecosystem for Small Business. Xero also presented at our FinovateSpring conference in 2011.

Join us in New York for FinDEVr 2015, March 29 and 30. Our developer’s conference features two days of provocative presentations and critical case studies of financial technology at work. Stop by our registration page today and save your spot!
