Xero prices every business as its own "organisation" - a separate subscription per company, with a consolidated, group-wide view only available through the separate Xero HQ practice add-on aimed at accounting firms, not a built-in feature of running your own companies. If you are comparing Xero alternatives because that add-on layer feels like overhead for a business that just needs its own companies rolled up, here is what changes with Count My Bucks.
| Count My Bucks | Xero | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | One login, unlimited companies. You pay only for linked bank accounts, not per organisation. | Each Xero organisation is billed as its own subscription; a group-wide view needs the separate Xero HQ practice add-on. |
| Consolidated view | Open one company or roll income, balance sheet, and transactions up across the whole group in the same screen, no add-on required. | Xero HQ is built for accounting practices managing client files, not a native multi-company rollup inside your own account. |
| Switching companies | Switch companies in one click from the same login. | Switching organisations means switching which Xero organisation you are signed into. |
| Shared classification rules | Rules you set up once apply across every similar company. | Bank rules and tracking categories are configured per organisation and do not carry across. |
| Bulk actions | Classify, recategorize, and update many transactions in one action across the companies you are viewing together. | Bulk reconciliation and cleanup tools operate inside the one organisation you currently have open. |
Xero Established runs about $80/mo per company (list price, as of 2026-09-28 - check current pricing before switching). See the full feature comparison or try the cost calculator against your own company and bank-account count.
If one Xero organisation is all you run, there is no reason to move. If you are already weighing a practice add-on just to see your own companies together, Count My Bucks builds that consolidated view in for every plan. Sign in and put every company on one set of books.
