What are some reasons that Xero is the go to accounting software?

 

Xero can make your business life easier

  • Tasks such as invoicing, reporting and even JobKeeper payment allocations can be automated, relieving you of the burden to remember these tasks

 

It connects straight to the Cloud

  • For Apple users out there, Xero is automatically backed up on iCloud, meaning that whether you switch from an iPad, iMac, or iPhone, all the updated data will be right there where you left it

 

It connects straight to your bank

  • Xero connects straight to your bank and provides you with an up to date info sheet about your current cash flow. Transactions automatically flow into Xero, and these can be reconciled every day
  • There is also currency conversion, meaning that for a business with plans to be a global entity it is much easier to do business internationally! Xero has an inbuilt currency converter so that all your calculations can be done there and then
