Sales Tax Automation Software for Xero

Take Your U.S. Sales Tax Compliance from Manual to Automated, Seamlessly with Xero

Xero is a popular cloud-based accounting platform that helps small and mid-sized businesses manage invoicing, payments, and reconciliation with ease. However, it lacks the sophisticated tools required for full U.S. sales tax compliance, such as real-time rate calculation, nexus alerts, and automated filings.

Commenda’s sales tax software for Xero solves that problem. Our platform integrates directly with your Xero account to automate sales tax for every U.S. invoice, track your nexus exposure by state, and file returns on time, so you stay compliant without lifting a finger.

  • SaaS companies using Xero to invoice U.S. customers
  • eCommerce brands syncing WooCommerce or Shopify with Xero
  • Service-based businesses with U.S. clients and growing tax exposure
  • International companies managing multi-entity structures through Xero
  • Accounting firms using Xero across multiple client accounts needing U.S. tax automation

If you trust Xero for your financials but need airtight sales tax coverage in the U.S., Commenda is your answer.
