When should we move off Xero?

Common triggers are adding entities, needing ASC 606 revenue recognition, tightening controls for an audit, or spending too much of the close in spreadsheets.

Is Rivane harder to use than Xero?

No. Rivane keeps day-to-day workflows familiar while automating the multi-entity, revenue, and close work Xero was not built for.

Will my data come across?

Yes. Chart of accounts, balances and history are imported and reconciled by the migration hub, and you can run in parallel first.

Does Rivane handle multiple entities and currencies?

Yes, real-time consolidation and multi-currency are native, not a workaround.
