Xero Simplifies Global Payments for Faith-Based Organizations
Xero announced Thursday an expanded partnership with Chaney & Associates, a specialized accounting and financial advisory firm serving churches and faith-based nonprofits.
Global small business accounting platform Xero announced Thursday an expanded partnership with Chaney & Associates, a specialized accounting and financial advisory firm serving churches and faith-based nonprofits.
Xero says the enhanced integration centralizes core accounting, payroll, and cross-border payments into a unified workflow—giving nonprofit leaders real-time visibility and frictionless global money movement while enabling Chaney & Associates to scale its practice efficiently to support organizations operating worldwide.
A Xero partner since 2012, Roseville, CA-based Chaney & Associates delivers cloud accounting, payroll, bill pay, and fractional CFO advisory tailored specifically to the unique compliance and operational demands of faith-based organizations.
“Chaney & Associates is a strong example of how an accounting firm can build a future-forward practice by focusing on their clients’ unique needs and then using technology to scale their support efficiently,” Jonathan Meltzer, managing director, US at Xero, said in a statement on Nov. 5.
He added that Xero and Melio, a bill-pay solution company that Xero acquired a year ago, offers greater visibility into faith-based nonprofits’ financial performance and more control over how they manage payments across borders.
To support consistent growth of roughly 50 new client organizations each year, Chaney & Associates used Xero’s open API and Melio’s payment solution to enhance its proprietary, client-facing dashboard.
