Overall Satisfaction with Xero

We currently use Xero for all our management accounting, aged receivables (including credit control) and supplier payments. Our chart of accounts, P&L and balance sheet are all controlled and reported on via Xero. One off invoicing for hardware and labor from our CRM - Connectwise and our recurring billing platform - Ebilz are logged and managed through Xero. Ebilz and Xero are integrated meaning all transactions are automatically entered into Xero.

  • Balance Sheet reporting
  • Integration with our bank and recurring billing platform
  • Budgeting
  • Allowing duplicate suppliers
  • Allowing duplicate customers
  • It's reduced the month end processing time from 5 to 3 days
  • It's helped reduce aged debt by 28%
  • It's helped improve and streamline the accounts payable processes
Xero was the easiest to use and most cost effective of all the solutions we evaluated during the procurement process. We spoke to other similar sized businesses and they highly recommended using Xero. We liked the fact it's a cloud based system meaning we can access the system and data remotely. It integrates with our recurring billing platform and our bank.
Xero is well suited to SME businesses that don't require the locked down approach of larger finance packages like Oracle financials and SAP. It's easy to use and understand for non finance trained staff. Invoicing and credit control is made simple and projects overlay feature allows for better control and visibility of projects being delivered.
