"Easy money management"
What do you like best about Xero?

Xero provides clear information regarding transactions into and out of the account I manage. It allows me to place expenses exactly where they need to be in our organizational budget with ease.

What do you dislike about Xero?

I dislike that it can sometimes take a while for transactions to show up on the dashboard for reconciliation. I also wish they offered an "introduction to xero" tab for new users.

What problems is Xero solving and how is that benefiting you?

Xero allows myself and my organization to quickly identify where expenses and income belong within our budget. Xero also has the benefit of being able to include receipts when reconciling transactions.

"Xero is a great accounting solution for your small business"
What do you like best about Xero?

The bank feeds make bank reconciliations super easy. You can automate and repeat invoices, bills, journals. Also, it offers a lot of different integrations.

What do you dislike about Xero?

The bank feeds don't seem to work very well with some of the banks my clients use, so I have to export and import the bank transactions manually. It's still an easy process if the bank provides an OFX file type; it just takes longer. If the bank does not provide an OFX file type export, it takes even longer.

What problems is Xero solving and how is that benefiting you?

Xero is the best solution we have found for keeping accounting records.

"One of the most secure and easy to use cloud based accounting software"
What do you like best about Xero?

I have been scared to manage other accounting software as such as Sage group or Quickbooks. As the UI differs and one simple mistake can lead to big troubles, XERO has been the most satisfying software I have ever used. With great UI/UX.

What do you dislike about Xero?

The inventory or purchase side is very basic for the software, there can be an improvement for managing the inventory side of things which will help users to manage everything in one single source instead of integrating it with other software.

What problems is Xero solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were managing the payroll with XERO, managing all the freelancers times for how long they worked and how much should be paid to them, manage to invoice, manage all the sales, making the end of week reports and using Hubdoc which was the best feature which has saved a lot of time for the company for data entry manually.

"My Experience with using Xero"
What do you like best about Xero?

I believe one of the best features of Xero is its auto-match at the bank reconciliation stage. It reduces the need to go looking through invoices as Xero itself provides suggestions for possible matches.

What do you dislike about Xero?

Although there isn't anything in particular that I don't like about this software but what I believe needs improvement is its bank feed system of linking to banks to Xero. Although the process is simple, it is still time-consuming to get the linkage approved by the banks, while many banks still haven't partnered with Xero yet.

What problems is Xero solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think Xero has provided many Accountants with a tool to customize reports to suit the specific needs of each user. For example, I have redesigned the GST report, Ageing reports, and others to suit my needs. This modification feature has helped me save a lot of time as it provides ready-made reports which don't need any further filtration.

keeps our invoices, tuition fee records organized. using xero eliminates the usage of paper, makes bills and payables record keeping easier . useful to everyone especially to those who dont have any accounting experience. It is user friendly. It also makes payments transactions easier. We are able to keep track of each of our student's tuition fee , balances and other payables because of Xero. We have linked Xero to our sudenyt's profiles.

What do you dislike about Xero?

sometimes it lags and the updates will not appear immediately. Xero is user friendly. and you can update the system to keep up with your current needs. maybe it would be better if xero send monthly updates to the account manager automoatically

What problems is Xero solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the Benefits of uisng xero system is having all files organized. When I click on the student's name, I can just click on his xero invoices and see all history and balances.It keeps collaboration and information sharing within the company easy.

"Super simple accounting solution for small business owners"
What do you like best about Xero?

Xero is a simple to use, nondaunting accounting platform. I'm basing my review from the view of a small business owner, it works equally well for large corporations, I'm sure, but for the purpose of this review, let's keep it small. I run a small graphic design firm in Ireland and a simple solution to accounting was a must, as I am absolutely awful with anything to do with accounting. Xero offers a straightforward solution, ties in well with National and international bank accounts to allow for automatic reconciliation, which is a huge time saver. I have been using it since 2010 (it's now 2021) and I can firmly say for a small business, it's excellent value.

What do you dislike about Xero?

Occasionally the bank balance shown will not align with the actual amount of money in the account. This may however be down to the fact that I work in multiple currencies.

What problems is Xero solving and how is that benefiting you?

It saves me heaps of time. I can invoice quickly and easily. I've linked it in with Stripe Payments which has improved the time I get paid by most clients significantly.

"Xero - Cloud Accounting Software for Your Small Business"
What do you like best about Xero?

Xero's platform is extremely easy to setup and navigate but still has all the features you need without being so robust that it's slow to navigate. You can integrate so many softwares through their open API and adjustments are a breeze. You can add various user levels to share the file with business owners and CPAs or members of the team who may just need access to one portion like AR/AP.

What do you dislike about Xero?

Xero could improve the 1099 process but their developer team always takes comments into account and works to push new updates to the software frequently.

What problems is Xero solving and how is that benefiting you?

A cloud accounting software that really cares about its users and allows an easy to navigate accounting software to create beautiful reports for monthly review and end of year tax filings. Affordable and offers numerous integrations to other softwares if your specific needs are not met within the software itself.
