Xero is the future of accounting
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Xero from other similar products?
It is an online accounting Software raised for small business partners and accountants. It can be used on any technological tool with an Internet connection. Supplemented with more than 500 third-party business applications. Accepts multiple currencies. Can subscribe to accounting data, which approves accountants and clients to favor around finances. Xero manages all business accounting directly, plus it feasibly and positively partners with other cloud-based software, which enhances Xero's usability.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
In particular, the data processing of the bank reconciliation course is a saving in a matter of seconds, as it connects to banks and credit cards. Xero handles world-class cloud security. Your data is properly stored in the cloud and protected. It composes well with enhancements to provide more sophisticated reporting. Unification with AI products like ReceiptBank and Approval Donkey also works well.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Some reports are too limited; referral information on checks is not available and it is complete chaos what you are allowed to put on checks, checks are illustrated in whatever odd order Xero puts them in, communication with the bank fails badly, it would be a nice option to be able to unsubscribe immediately, no 30 day wait; support is only via email. The mobile version could be improved.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Xero is a very good product. It is solid and confidential. It is an excellent choice for reporting, bank source processing, payable balances are easy to view. It is very feasible to use and the amount of learning expectations. It is easy to train clients, plus we can send them added resources for corresponding learning by Xero. It is not suitable for small businesses as it does not offer full functionality.
Pros
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Caring
- Respectful

We choose Xero as the best accounting software
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Xero from other similar products?
With Xero we can manage the entire accounting area of the company without any inconvenience, because it has multiple tools that allow us to control finances, invoicing, purchases, ledger and more, from the same control panel. It has an easy-to-use interface, since, in the foreground, it shows the balance, invoices payable, cash flow, all in a quick and simple view.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Performing bank reconciliations and transactions is very simple, as it is added automatically in the program, without the need to add the process manually. Because it is such a popular software, it allows you to integrate many other very useful programs such as Freshdesk, Quickbooks, Zoho and more. Its mobile app is fantastic, as I can have the same control of the company's finances, from the mobile and it being a cloud based software, allows the mobile and computers to take up too much space.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There are few complaints I have about the program, in general it works very well, only that their customer service could improve, as they do not respond in time to our calls, causing the solution to be postponed. For such a big and important company, they should pay more attention to their technical service department, since the automatic answers they send as a solution, are not what we expect.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The acquisition of Xero has improved our accounting and financial profitability due to the simplicity of installation. This is a software that simplifies our accounting tasks because the creation of invoices is very easy. The user interface is dynamic and interactive. It allows us to create financial and accounting reports in a very simple way and with powerful editing capabilities. Xero is a great product to improve fluidity in the finance department.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
