Xero

It is very user friendly, especially for small self employed businesses! Customer support are prompt in replying.

Would be great if there was a Favourites area on the home screen for easy referral to what is incoming/outgoing/owing rather than having to open issued invoices individually. Also would like to be able to label transactions when reconciling, so that instead of deleting lines individually from bank statement import that are personal transaction not related to my business in any way, a label will then just disregard the transaction instead of continually trying to match it with a Xero item code.

The dashboard is easy to use, the reporting functions work well, and I’m not aware of any bugs or issues. Recording transactions is straightforward, and keeping bank activity up to date is simple.

It does not offer good value for money compared with competitor products, and customer support is not available by telephone. As a partner, commission opportunities are limited, and payments are taken by direct debit.

Accounting tools are essential to all real-estate brokers. I mainly use Xero since it has an iOS mobile application that allows me to streamline online accounting processes from anywhere.

However, some features allocated by Xero aren’t robust enough which forces me to integrate with external Apps, for instance inventory management tools.

For us as a small manufacturing company that exports its products worldwide, Xero has proved to be an excellent fit with our needs. It integrates seamlessly with our bank accounts in multiple currencies, as well as our MRP system. The VAT reporting makes submitting VAT returns a very straightforward process. The product is simple to use and all members of our team are comfortable with it. Overall, it provides a high degree of functionality at a very reasonable price point.

My only complaint would have been that tools for visualising your financial data were a little thin on the ground, but the new analytics features seem to have addressed this.

With accounting going digital, Xero is affordable and user friendly, allows multiple usersvwith various levels of access. Oir accountant is a verified user so we get top notch customer support through them. Endless features allow each individual to approach reporting and reconciliation in whichever way suits them but all lead to the same resaults. The Dashboard can also be customized to suit which information is important to you and allows to you see the important information at a glance.

There isnt really anything to dislike, If you don't understans how to report and record your income and expenses i imagine it could be a little daunting. But with initial guidance, it all comes clear very quickly.

The process for entering invoices and tracking what we are billing is very easy. I can easily pull reporting (balance reports, invoices, profit and loss, etc). This software is a great value for the money. I have not experienced any bugs or issues.

The reason I originally did not use Xero was because our bank does not connect with Xero. Our accountant manually adds the data from the bank. This is on my bank though, not Xero.

Previous to the "new invoicing" interface, the user interface and UX was excellent. Value for money used to be excellent, but then the company floated and started pulling shady moves like removing the expenses module and replacing it with a paid version that had less features and a worse UI. Customer support for fixing things that Xero *can* do is pretty good, support for fixing things like bugs, intentionally broken features, and nags/advertising is very very poor.

The downhill trajectory of the UI and UX. Every change to the UI brings a couple of good things, and a bag of dicks. Changes used to be for the benefit of the user (you know, the one who is actually paying for the product). Now its for the benefit of the shareholders, and most times makes the UX much worse. Advertising plastered on the UI making the book keeper's job harder than it could be. Features that just don't work when they used to work fine (auto assigning the next ID on an imported invoice is a classic example of something that used to work and now doesn't, and has been promised to be fixed but here we are, 6 years later, and it still hasn't been given any developer time and probably wont.)

Xero pricing is extremely attractive and ability to use it from anywhere us a huge plus.Automation kg bank feeds and reconciliation helps to save another of time and reduces errors. Integrates seamlessly with PayPal and bank which makes it easy to handle payments and purchases. Offer real time visibility into financial data .Gives live dashboard for cash flows ,expenses and invoices .

Xero has a limited reporting though for anyone who needs standard reports it meets the needs perfectly. For more advanced reports sometimes it require additional data add -ons.

I've been with Xero for 3 years now. Customer service is great. I've had to use them a few times for various things and they always get things handled quickly. The dashboard is easy to use and figure out so was setting up my books. Overall, it's a great product. I like the new budgeting tools and reports are robust. Syncs easily with my Square and Amazon accounts.

The constant price increases are tough for me to keep in budget. The bank syncing is clunky. There are full months when I can't import the transactions and then have to enter each one manually. Those months suck.

Easy to use, well set out and organised, payroll is mostly smooth, invoicing and payment processing is straightforward and easy.

Some aspects of payroll aren't equipped for specialist HR requirements. Movement between members of staff in the payroll list can be confusing as it removes them from the list when clicked on the staff member. End of Year requirements are persistent even when all completed. Can be quite expensive compared to other software products. But you need to remember it is taking a lot of left work out of the usual admin which is still a saving.
