Xero's interface and multi-currency handling are generally considered more modern and pleasant than QuickBooks', and it's the default choice in markets like the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Its US accountant network is smaller than QuickBooks', which can matter if you specifically need to find local bookkeeping help.
