Overall Satisfaction with Xero
Our organization uses XERO as our main accounting software package. We also utilize XERO as a Virtual Financial Service offering for our clients. Being cloud based users can access XERO anytime, anywhere on any device. We are not trapped or waiting to get to our desktops. XERO is real time reporting, our clients no longer have to wait till the month is closed and reports are issued to see their financial position, which was usually too late to go back and change if necessary.
- Cloud based - access anytime, anywhere from any device
- Real-time auto bank feeds from their bank. You can reconcile daily and up the to day!
- Real-time reporting
- XERO does not really need room for much improvement. With the 500+ add-on programs that easily integrate to XERO (because of being cloud based) the functionality & features you may need specifically for your industry can be easily added. And you get to choose the add on products from a vast marketplace of available programs. In the end all financial data ends up in XERO for compliant based financial reporting.
- AIL
- It's been a great ROI for our clients, it gives us as CPA's easy access to their data which makes tax preparation easier and less costly for those clients
The previous "on-line version" of QuickBooks was a limited functionality product of the desktop QuickBooks. How ever with the "just released" makeover of QuickBooks's on-line we'll just have to wait and see how it will stack up to XERO.
