What is Xero?
Xero is an online accounting software platform for small businesses and their advisors, as well as for personal finance. Xero competes most often with QuickBooks Online. Its features, beyond the ubiquitous general ledger and double-entry bookkeeping support, include invoicing with quotes, bank reconciliation, purchase order and expense management, tax management, and it is mobile-accessible. Xero integrates with over 800 third-party applications, covering everything from inventory and logistics to cash flow, project management, customer relationship management, e-commerce and more.
The product is sold by subscription (a distribution model commonly known as software as a service or SaaS) requiring the payment of a monthly fee. This charge is proportionate to the number (and type) of company entities managed by the subscriber. The lowest tiered pricing option is the $9 per month Starter pack, which supports unlimited users but a limited number of transactions. The $30 Standard pack breaks open usage limits and adds e-filing and payroll options. The $70 Premium package doubles the number of supported employees on payroll from 5 to 10, and supports multiple currencies.

Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We use Xero for bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, and tracking cash flow in the business. It brought a lot of order and clarity in the bookkeeping and simplified the task. It actually makes accounting less daunting and provides us with key reports with just one click. It allows us to have a finger on the pulse and to see trends. We can also pay superannuation directly from Xero which makes it really simple and efficient and avoid missing deadlines. Overall, Xero removes the friction for accounting and fiance management.

Xero, Essential Software for Small Businesses.
We use Xero, and its associated products eg Hubdoc, for all our bookkeeping and accounting needs. We have been doing so going on for 5 years. We have multiple accounts for different entities but also use profit centres in Xero to manage multiple sites within one entity. Our accountant and a large portion of our suppliers also use Xero making things even easier.

Xero - the future of accounting software
Xero is being used in two ways at our organization, as our in-house accounting system and as the accounting software we recommend to clients that hire us for their work.
Gordon & Co Legal uses Xero for all its accounting software requirements, including invoicing, reconciliation, and tax lodgements. Xero is also useful for business analytics and budgeting.
First, I want to say, overall I LOVE XERO. Several years back, I made a business decision to only offer Xero. When we have clients who use other software, they have to agree to switch to Xero. Xero is good for training for new employees and business owners. The concept of money spent and receive helps business owners understand. The reporting is great. The reason I did not give them a 10 out of 10 is due to customer service. I wish similar to another larger company there was LIVE support. You can go weeks and never get anyone to respond. Xero loves responding with a video. This is great for larger firms. A company my size does not have the time to view a video, just provide the answer.
Acquiring Xero has enhanced our accounting and financial benefits since the installation was easy. It is software that simplifies our accounting tasks since the creation of invoices is very easy. The user interface is dynamic and interactive. It allows us to create financial reports and accounting in a very simple way and with great editing power. Xero is a great product to promote fluidity in the Finance department. We have a good administration of all our financial data with a lot of fluidity with Xero since you can see how the income, expenses, petty cash are evolving and if the figures made low adjustments to drive financial growth with the features of this software.

Great tool for billable hours time-keeping
We contract for manufacturing companies and Xero is our time keeping tool for tracking and sending billable hours to clients. This tool allows our users to track their hours in real time, and additionally, inform clients on not just hours worked, but also the content and achievements for that time.

Infinity is just Xero spelled backwards
We use Xero for our whole office. At the restaurant level, invoices are entered into PeachWorks. We have a program that integrates those invoices into Xero, putting each item into the correct account code. Our office assistant enters invoices that come to the office like water and electric bills. Then we print check directly from there, or batch payments to pay online.
We also Xero to integrate our sales from the restaurants. After bills are paid, we use multiple types of reporting features.

Xero makes you a financial hero!
I'm a small business owner, and I use Xero to manage all the finances in my organization. I will send quotes and invoices to clients directly through Xero. It has a really nice user interface online and on my phone, giving me the confidence to manage my finances on the road or in my home office. I track my expenses with Xero as well, which means I don't have to fret with paper receipts. Take a picture and add a bit of information. I usually have my expense uploaded before I've left the place where I made a purchase.

Best cloud based accounting software.
Well at its core this is a great cloud accounting platform and at its most basic level, it fulfills this function brilliantly. It really becomes super powerful once you start making use of its 3rd party marketplace which allows you to manage business functions in software purpose-built for this but with direct integration to your accounting system.
Xero is one of the more popular options among our clients (along with QuickBooks). Xero is reliable, user-friendly (for non-accountants i.e. business owners), and doesn't cost an arm and leg. It has most of the major features that small and medium business owners need from cloud accounting software. The Xero ledger and Cashbook options are a great offering for accounting firms for clients who don't want to spend a lot of money on subscriptions or no money at all.

Xero has been a hero for our firm and clients
We use Xero in our accounting practice. Many customers come to us frustrated with Intuit products and have no idea there is another and often better solution. All my clients enjoy Xero for UX, ease of use, and integrations with their other 3rd party applications. Xero also recognizes that accounting platforms need accountant expertise and advises customers when they sign up to find an advisor. Our practice operates 95% in Xero and we love it.

Hero is Xero!!
We use Xero for all of our invoicing needs. Keeping those straight is a task all itself. Xero allows us the freedom and flexibility we need yet keeps us structured and on task with past and current invoices. To include allowing the comfort of sending the ones we select and keeping the ones marked that we have sent and so many more ways available to keep us tasked and moving forward.
For small business accounting. Tax returns, business activity statements, invoicing, linking sales transactions from Shopify to Xero to measure performance.

user-friendly software
We use Xero for our accounting. Invoices are created there and sent to the clients directly from Xero. It is great that Xero allows bookings in various currencies, but there are still improvements regarding reporting in other currencies. In the area of report in general, I think there are still a lot of improvements to be done, being able to create customs reports, for example.

Not the cheapest but a good feature-set
We use Xero.com accounting software for multiple tasks including bank account reconciliation, coding the general ledger and trial balance, producing end-of-financial-year financial statements, for GST returns, business analysis, etc. We don’t use any of the practice management elements.

Simple Xero
We use Xero internally for expensing and reimbursing employee expenses. We also use it as a quote and invoice generator. It allows us to quickly and easily track and payout expenses and can generate simple quotes quickly.

A great service for the price; great for small business with medium bookkeeping needs
I use Xero to manage the books of my eCommerce company. It allows me to connect my bank accounts and automatically pull in all transactions, which I then reconcile and share with my CPA so that they may calculate quarterly tax payments. Before using Xero, I was doing this all manually with spreadsheets.

Affordable and Simple Small Business Accounting
Xero automates our small business accounting, making it easy to bring in transactions through bank feeds. Beyond that, Xero provides decent reporting for P/L and similar reporting needs of small businesses. Finally, we use Xero for vendor payments and to report 1099's at the end of the year.

Best Accounting Software for Businesses of All Sizes
I have a number of businesses that use Xero. For NonCam.com, we handle loads of multi-currency sales and payments to suppliers from different payment gateways. Accounting with other software used to be a huge hassle in terms of transaction reconciliation, but Xero makes this a breeze. Tasks that used to take hours now take minutes, and it is significantly much easier. The automated transaction matching, bank feeds, invoicing, the bill payments feature are among the most used features for my team.

XERO review
Xero is used in the business for both accounts payable and receivable. We submit our timesheets through Xero and receive all payslips and leave information through there as well. We also use Xero for all of our invoicing when enrolling students. Xero also gives us the ability to generate template invoices as well as third-party invoices when needed.

New to accounting? New business? Xero is easy and understandable...unlike the others.
I use Xero to cash code, reconcile, and prepare financial statements for my clients. I have previously lost a client because Xero didn't have the capability to provide WIP inventory support. They didn't want to pay for yet another app to manage a small inventory/manufacturing process.

From Xero to Hero
Our companies books and invoicing are run on Xero. Our accountant uses Xero in her firm too so the integration and remote managing of our accounts are simple and easy. I personally use Xero on both my MacBook and iPhone and all payments are made and recorded in Xero too. It is our full financial suite.

I use Xero not only for my accounting and tax purposes but also to link my employee's timesheet from another software Deputy for my accountant to do the payroll. Xero allows business owner[s] such as myself to check on my monthly P & L reports, as well as various different reports to gain a better understanding of my business cash flow and expenses.

Easy to Use Accounting Software with Useful Features
We use Xero not only for our basic accounting needs but invoicing and quotes, too. We have recently started using the Projects function for an additional fee and have found it to be useful for invoicing clients quickly and recording each time we work for a client.
