Excello Services

“Excelled People For Excellent Services”

Why Excello exists: excellence is not a luxury.

Why Excello exists comes down to one belief: people who excel at their work deserve to know exactly where their business stands.

So we keep your books current, close every month within five business days, and do it all inside the software you already own.

I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion.

Alexander the Great, in a letter to Aristotle, as recorded by Plutarch

For a business, the knowledge of what is excellent starts with its own numbers.

What the bank balance does not tell you

The story

Most owners check the bank balance to see whether the month went well. The balance cannot show what is still owed to suppliers, what customers have not paid, or what next month's bills will take.

Cash is the lifeblood of a business, and reconciled books are how an owner reads it. When the books run weeks behind, the biggest decisions get made on that balance and a guess: whether to hire, how much stock to order, what to charge. Books reconciled monthly replace the guess with the real position, so each of those decisions rests on numbers that have been checked.

We are accountants, and Excello began in 2021 as a traditional firm, keeping books for businesses in the United Kingdom, the United States and the UAE. Traditional bookkeeping is careful but slow. Books that arrive six weeks after the month ends can explain the past. They cannot steer the next decision.

So we rebuilt the work around one test: does the owner know where they stand, in time to act? Software now matches transactions daily. Our accountants spend their hours where judgment matters: checking categories, reconciling accounts and closing the month within five business days.

You excel at your work. We make sure you always know where it stands.

What we believe, and what you get because of it

Three beliefs

Belief 01

You should never have to guess

Your books are kept current every week, or every business day on the Growth and Scale plans. Every month closes within five business days, with a balance sheet, profit and loss and cash flow statement.

Belief 02

Your numbers are yours

Your books stay in your own QuickBooks, Xero or Odoo, where you hold the admin login. The AI that reads your transactions runs on Excello's own private servers, and your data is never sent to outside AI companies.

Security and privacy →

Belief 03

Our own rules, checked by people

Software applies the Excello Rulebook every day, so a refund or a marketplace fee is booked the same way in March as in May, whoever works on your books. Experts check that work, correct what is wrong and ask you only what they cannot know, and a qualified accountant signs off each close.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose Excello over bookkeeping software?

Software gives you a tool, and someone on your team still categorizes, reconciles and closes. Excello gives you finished books: software does the daily matching, and accountants check the work and close each month within five business days.

What makes Excello different from other bookkeeping services?

Three things. Excello works inside the QuickBooks, Xero or Odoo account you already own, so your ledger never moves. The Excello Rulebook does the repetitive work, which is how plans start from $150 a month. And the time it saves goes to people: ACCA, CA and CMA-trained experts review your books every week or every business day.

What is the Excello Rulebook?

The Excello Rulebook is Excello's own set of rules for how transactions are booked. It covers payouts split into sales, fees, refunds and reserves, marketplace and payment fees, currencies, sales tax and VAT. Built from 7 years of industry experience, it is applied with Excello's own tools inside each client's QuickBooks, Xero or Odoo, and experts review what it produces before each month is closed.

Is my financial data private with Excello?

Yes. The AI that reads your transactions runs on Excello's own private servers, and your data is never sent to outside AI companies. Your books stay in your own accounting software, where your team keeps the admin login.

What happens to my books if I leave Excello?

Nothing changes for your books. They already live in your own accounting software, so you remove Excello's access and carry on with your full history, chart of accounts and admin login in place.
