The Story

Xavier is the Bristolian brainchild of progressive accounting agency, FD Works, and the experienced web development agency, Hatch Apps.

When FD Works decided to make something more permanent from their finely tuned spreadsheet systems, they knew exactly who to turn to; a web developer client of theirs who had been looking to move away from client work to build and launch a new product employing the best technology available: Hatch Apps.

A partnership was forged, ideas were hatched and Xavier Analytics was born; an app that would quickly complete some of the more menial data clean-up but also crystallise important data-driven insights.

Xavier emerged on the scene with a second-place prize for Best New App (EMEA) in the 2018 Xero hackathon, and was soon after accepted into SETsquared Bristol, the World's top incubator for high tech, high growth start ups, based at the Engine Shed in the heart of Bristol.

From a side project, Xavier has gown into a full-time business and product, iterating and improving on a regular schedule of releases.

In June 2020, Xavier was acquired by leading digital accounting platform Receipt Bank, to become part of the Receipt Bank product portfolio. This was an exciting step for the team, in order to help Xavier reach more accounting partners and create the most accurate ecosystem for accounting and advisory, ever. Since the acquisition the Xavier team have remained working on the project in Bristol.

The team are always on hand for support, feedback and implementation consultations, so please get in touch!
