State of the Stack 2026 Launch

It’s here.

‍Today, we officially launch the State of the Stack 2026 Report, sponsored by Xero.

This is your blueprint for how modern finance teams are building and scaling with Xero at the core.

Discover which apps finance leaders are actually using with our white paper, shaped by insights from CFO Techstack's community of 13,000 finance leaders and analysis of 100+ real-life finance tech stacks.

Inside the report, you'll find:

• App Map 2.0: See the apps finance leaders are actually using to build modern finance functions (with Xero at the core).
• ‍Real-world tech stack case studies: Explore proven app combinations and why they work in practice.‍
• The true cost of a finance tech stack: Benchmark what teams spend, and what’s worth paying for (and what isn’t).‍
• The 2026 Survival Kit: A practical checklist to build, rebuild, or optimise your stack with confidence in 2026

Whether you're building your first tech stack with Xero, moving away from an ERP, or optimising your existing tech stack, this report is a must-read!
