After spending more than $270m, will Xero finally crack the US?

In late 2019, Xero closed the doors of its former US headquarters at 101 Green Street, leaving behind the rooftop views of the city and San Francisco Bay and moving to a smaller space downtown.

For five years, the 2300-square-metre office had been the heart of the accounting software group’s capital-intensive push to crack the US. The ASX-listed company needed to convince millions of small businesses to dump their spreadsheets and buy Xero’s products.
