Xero has been accelerating its effort to enlist accountants and small businesses in the United States. And while it already has firms that have signed up as part of its channel, the New Zealand-based company, which markets a web-based accounting application, has been getting more visibility since former Sage executive Jamie Sutherland joined as president of the U.S. operation.
