xero is betting up to $3 billion that the future of accounting is more than recordkeeping.

the new zealand-based cloud accounting firm is making its largest-ever acquisition: new york and tel aviv-based payments platform melio. the all-cash deal, valued at $2.5 billion with a potential $500 million earn-out, aims to supercharge xero’s push into the u.s. market by embedding b2b bill pay directly into its general ledger software. xero is raising $1.23 billion in equity to help fund the acquisition.
