Overall Satisfaction with Xero

We use XERO across the organisation. I also have clients who use XERO and we have provided integration of systems for this.

It simplifies business administration, and being a cloud company ourselves, we love cloud solutions. It comes with a full range of out of the box reporting and tools (statements, VAT returns, P&L, balance sheets, bank feeds), has plug ins for areas such as eCommerce or payment gateways, and a fully developed API for integration.
  • Quick and simple to do the basic tasks, i.e. billing, statements.
  • Our of the box formatting is clean and usable. Easy to tweak for branding.
  • Great API.
  • Dashboard customisation could be improved. It can be done but we did not find it intuitive.
  • Simple time-saving platform, does what it says on the tin.
Prefer XERO, find Kashflow quite quirky and not intuitive. XERO seems to be up a level, has more integrations and simpler to get going.
Small businesses, it is ideal. Low or high transactions work equally well, for high transaction you would want to use the API.
