We use Xero as our accounting software. We love how it brings in lines from the bank accounts and can be easily reconcilled either on a computer or from the Xero mobile phone app. We use it to bill our customers. One issue we have is that you don't seem to be able to have different email addresses for a customer for different functions (i.e. send purchase orders to a particular address but remittance advices to another or invoices to one and statements to another). It integrates well with other apps, and we also have our own in-house software that we have been able to write code to sync to Xero. Our accountant uses Xero too so they update our annual returns right in Xero which means that what we see are the actual results for the year (once finalised). Our previous accountant didn't do this in Xero which resulted in the Xero files being inaccurate (depreciation etc) and having to have an additional hard or soft copy. It is great to get an accurate picture of where the business is now that we have an accountant who uses the same system.

Definitely quicker and easier to stay on top of accounting.
