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.

Xero - the future of accounting software
- Xero has a clean user-friendly interface.
- There are strong integrations with many complimentary applications.
- The software is constantly being updated.
- Since Xero was built for the web the application runs extremely smoothly.
- The reporting function can certainly be improved. The function is good, but I think it is an area that could be simplified more.
- Update the support function; they are very responsive but I don't think you can speak to a live person easily.
- Invoicing.
- Tax lodgments.
- Budgeting and planning.
- Business analytics.
- Improved ease of linking to Australian Tax Office.
- Cash Coding.
- Fix posting.
- Generate Financial Report.
- Customer service.
- Eliminating duplicate posting of contact.
- More plug in similar the other major accounting software.
- Good report editing and great power to share them with colleagues to seek to improve our accounting processes.
- A simple and very dynamic user interface to manage financial and accounting data, it is a very automatic software.
- We can use it from the office or from our phones, which allows us to work from home. I like that feature as we don't always have to be in front of the computer and we can do it remotely.
- Xero has been a great software for us. We have not noticed any limitations in its use, the benefits have been constant, and we hope that it will continue to increase our financial and accounting effectiveness.

Great tool for billable hours time-keeping
- Real-time tracking of hours
- Easy and simple UI
- Mobile app is big benefit to tracking
- being able to add details to hours worked is helpful
- I have no feedback on improvements

Infinity is just Xero spelled backwards
- Bank feeds work great, or I can easily import statements.
- Easy to use, but still has the manual journal options for more detailed accounting.
- Fixing errors is easy, plus gives detailed info on which user did what.
- Cost! Very worth the low price.
- Setting our own fiscal calendar is not available, so for every return or P&L, I have to manually adjust dates.
- Remittance information on the checks is not available, and it very frustrating what they let you put on the checks.
- Checks print in whatever weird order Xero puts them in. You can adjust to make it alphabetically and I can't figure out what ordering system they use.
- We do use a small bank for one of our accounts, and it doesn't integrate with that bank. But that could be the bank's fault.

Xero makes you a financial hero!
- Invoicing
- Statement of accounts
- Expense management
- Syncing with bank statements
- Communication when bank feed fails
April 08, 2022
Best cloud based accounting software.
- Integration
- Ease of Use.
- API
- Recurring Invoice API.
- Local currency pricing.
- Reporting (customizing look and contents and the ability to add multiple comparative periods is brilliant and not found in many other competitors.
- Bank feeds. The way they organize bank feed and subsequent matching or coding is very user-friendly for non-accountants and fast for accountants.
- Can file VAT returns and is MTD compliant in UK.
- Customer support has been helpful (at least in my experience).
- Bank reconciliations. I would like them to try something like QBO where reconciled transactions are marked and then locked, so when editing or deleting those transactions, you are shown an extra warning.
- Vendor and customer pages. It should be easier to see a list of activities and then access those transactions from there. Again QBO does it better, in my opinion.
- Search feature. Once again their main competitor does that better, you can search an invoice number, amount, date, vendor name, and account head in QBO and it will show relevant results. Xero global search functionality is pretty basic.

Hero is Xero!!
- Allows dates of invoices to change - not rigid
- Sends individual or multiple invoices, whatever I choose
- Shows which invoices are late, which ones are due, and allows us to have drafts that are not comingled with valid, current invoices
- It would be nice to be able to pull an invoice and put in drafts
- I wish it was compatible with our HUBSPOT app
- Links shopify very seamlessly via applications like A2x
- Makes creating invoices easy
- Ensures all sales are filtered through from Shopify and broken down into GST, discounts, sales
- Lower price point for small businesses
- Linking shopify without the need for A2x
- Improve interface so it could directly link to ATO

user-friendly software
- Very user-friendly software.
- The possibility to create recurring invoices.
- Nice functionality to reconcile bank accounts.

- Not all the banks available for bank feeds.
March 11, 2022

Best Accounting Software for Businesses of All Sizes
- Bank feeds from banks are consistent and reliable.
- "Smart" transaction matching is a huge time-saver.
- Turns anyone capable enough to do basic accounting data-entry/processing.
- Very easy flow and terminologies, yet remaining true to accounting core.
- Multiple modes for users of varying levels.
- Raw API integration is largely difficult to work with, but will probably only affect a small group of power users.
- More integration points in terms of task automation could be good.
- Price point is good for larger businesses but a little painful for smaller businesses.

Easy to Use Accounting Software with Useful Features
- The Projects feature is useful for keeping our time with clients organized.
- The option to integrate Xero with Salesforce is good.
- The new feature of assigning expenses to contact accounts while reconciling is useful because you're looking at your transactions anyways.
- I would prefer that Projects were not a feature you had to pay extra for.
