What our clients say about us

High value

I have been working with the Xen team for over 2 years. In that time, they have been very professional. They have kept our books up to date with minimal direction. They have been excellent at advising and proactively correcting any issues that have arisen. They have brought high value to our company and I highly recommend their services.

Flexible and committed

Xen Accounting is a fantastic team to work with. They are always flexible and committed in the delivery of their services. They offer great value for any company looking into quality accounting/payroll services.

Knowledgeable partners

Xen Accounting has been providing bookkeeping and tax compliance service for Amplitude. They also helped implement our back-office cloud-based infrastructure. I have been very happy with their level of expertise and trust them to provide quality and timely work with little oversight. I know that any issues I have will be handled promptly. I would recommend this firm to any business looking for a knowledgeable partner.

Long term durable growth focused

We are digital first and obsess over details, efficiency, and workflow. Xen applies the same on the accounting side. And we are focused on long term durable growth rather than quick exits. I feel Xen is similar to us in many ways. So after 14 years of working with various corporate accounting firms, I have developed an appreciation and interest in this exciting world of Canadian cloud accounting firms. In this landscape, Xen is one of the leaders with deep roots, and I definitely recommend them!

Purpose built for early stage startups and remote work

Our team has had a great experience working with Xen. We feel like we're always a quick email away from an answer. We save time and brain space. We love the people. They're purpose built for early stage startups and remote work. Highly recommend.
