Overall Satisfaction with Xero

We use Xero for our day to day account needs, it helps us to follow cashflow easily and makes our end of year accounts a simple task. Prior to Xero we used a number of spreadsheets which did not offer anywhere near the functionality Xero does. It truly simplifies all of our accounting processes and means I can run a report on pretty much any aspect of the company within minutes.
  • Reconciliation of transactions is simple and can be done on a mobile device, meaning accounts can be kept up to date easily whilst away from the office.
  • Cashflow management is also simple with Xero, it's a few clicks to generate a report on cashflow so you can always be sure how your business is currently fairing.
  • Expenses categorisation could be a little simpler, there are large amounts of categories and it can take time to find and scroll to the correct one. A simplified list based on past transactions could be incorporated to improve this.
  • Lots of time saved through integration with bank account, no manual intervention required.
  • Saves lots of time at year end making accounts easy to compile
It's great but some of the menu placement isn't as intuitive as it could be
N/A
Pretty simple to integrate apps, my only gripe is the removal of a link to Pipedrive invoice creation. A once automated process is now back to being manual as the integration was removed.
