Overall Satisfaction with Xero

We use Xero as our accounting software & practice management software within our practice so it is used on a daily basis. It is used to store client details and records, used to prepare and lodge tax returns, used to log our timesheets within the firm and serves as an integrative platform with our other software programs. It solves the issue of having too many data bases to update when a client changes details etc
  • Xero tax - (creating tax returns for lodgement)
  • Client data base
  • Reports/report builder
  • Timesheets sometimes dont work
  • Xero tax sometimes doesnt load
  • Integrate with monday.com (workflow manager)
  • Improved the firms productivity
  • improved the firms capacity
  • Lead to a drastic increase of clients
Xero is a million times better than handisoft. Firstly, it is cloud based so you can access it from anywhere you have internet connection which has been great during the working from home era of the pandemic. Secondly, its client data base is much easier to search and edit compared to handisoft and it integrates with other platforms such as BGL Cas360, so you only have to update one data base instead of multiple

Xero practice manager works perfectly, it just needs a better dashboard/hub to better manage the workflow. it would be great if you could customise the dashboard/workflow to suit your practice's needs and processes instead of a "better way" to do things as it doesnt always align with the accounting practice.
The contact support line is always so prompt with replying to my queries and support tickets - i dont have any feedback
It is perfectly suited to an accounting firm that wants to use more cloud based accounting system. It is perfect for firms that have most of their clients on Xero, as you can pull through the published reports in the clients Xero file directly to their tax return. It needs more improvement with the workflow manager - it needs to be more transparent to the other members of the team so we can all see how much work we all have on and how they are progressing.
