# Xero Import

> Import accounting data from Xero

## Overview

While [independent research shows that 62% of small businesses don't use any accounting software yet](https://www.tight.com/embedded-accounting-smb-vertical-software-report), leaving a major greenfield opportunity for your platform, Tight's customer-partners have also migrated thousands of businesses off of QuickBooks Online using Tight's Xero Import functionality.

The Xero Import functionality allows you to transfer a business’s Xero data into your embedded accounting platform, preserving the business’s historical financial information.
