The story

Founded in 2019 as a virtual bookkeeping and accounting service for US small businesses, Xendoo has progressively expanded beyond core bookkeeping into a broader financial operations platform. The company has embedded payroll (via Gusto), spend management (via BILL), and capital access (via Boundless AI and Settle) into its core offering. Rather than building proprietary financial infrastructure, Xendoo follows a partner-led embedded finance model — acting as the financial clarity layer that connects SMBs to best-in-class providers for payments, payroll, lending, and expense management.
