I just wanted to write a quick message because I've used your program for a few years now and its great but I can't understand why you don't offer an accounting program for personal use?
Xero is a great program that offers very simple features to help run a business. Why not apply the same principal to personal finance. Being able to have a xero subscription that was able to connect to my personal bank accounts and could be used to reconcile all of my personal transactions would be fantastic. I could track my personal expenses like my business expenses and see everything in a profit & loss style sheet so I can easily see what money is being received and where my money is being spent.
A subscription like this would have to be affordable at something like $12 - $15 per month but it would offer drastically reduced features that aren't necessary to the average person so the cost would be in line with the product.
Think about the revenue you could create by simply modifying your existing program to work as a household budgeting tool. Right now, xero targets business owners. Imagine targeting the employees of those business owners as well...
Everyone I know still budgets and tracks their expenses in a excel document. Its a horrible experience to say the least.
Sure there are other products out there that offer these types of features but there's some problems with them too. I don't know those programs, I don't trust those programs, they're expensive and I already have a relationship with xero.

It would be an awesome subscription to have.
