The Xero alternative for freelancers and sole traders
Rounded is the easier, more affordable accounting app made just for creatives, consultants, and other self-employed Aussies.
Only the features you need
Xero wasn’t built with sole traders in mind – and it shows. Rounded keeps things simple, giving you the tools to invoice, get paid, track expenses, and stay tax-ready.
Built for your budget
The average sole trader will spend at least $75/mo to use Xero. Rounded has everything you need for less than half the price, so you keep more of your hard-earned money.
Designed for you, not your accountant
Unlike Xero, you won’t have to pay for training or spend hours learning the ropes. Our intuitive design and responsive support help you master Rounded in minutes.

I found Xero far too complicated and expensive for more than 5 invoices per week - Rounded has it all - for just a small yearly fee - instant help online chat, simple user interface and they take suggestions seriously and update the program as they go.
