Pros

I love the app and gives me accounting on the go. Helps me track invoices and profits with ease.
The ease of use and reputation are by far the greatest part of this product. In addition to this, the range of potential integrations is fantastic.
Really easy to submit expenses, categorise them and check the progress of you submitted expense - super easy to do all from the app.

Pros

This little piece of software does a great job with my invoices. It has a very clean interface and there is nothing to learn.
I was intrigued by its name and decided to give it a try. It is indeed Sleek, If you are looking for a very simple and pleasant way of doing your Invoices, then try this software.
Easy to Use and Understand2 Inexpensive 3 Sales and Support is Good.

Cons

There are no delivery notes/packing slips. They tout a "workaround" but be warned, it's exactly 10 extra clicks so it's really not an option if you need this feature.
Our main complaint is that Xero stopped doing payroll in 2018, so now you have to pay an additional fee to a payroll processor such as Gusto.
Changing accounting software from Xero is a horrible experience. They make it very difficult to pivot to other software.

Cons

Highlights are restricted. Not ready to add coloums in the formats receipt.
Limited Template Design2 Not Customizable3 Accounting Features Not Available.

The only benefit and reason I use Xero is because Client insisted because it integrates with his retail sales force application Magento.

Pros

Accounts receivable reports, Integration with Bill.com, ability to copy from invoice to PO, Bill and vice versa.

Cons

No actual bank reconciliation. No undeposited funds to combine more than one check when received from customer. When print checks to pay bills, lists all items instead of just the invoice amount and number on the check stub.

Xero makes bookeeping easy for the small business owner

Reviewed 4 years ago

Xero allows me to mange my finances, keep on top of my BAS requirements and bill paying.

Pros

Xero is an excellent product that as a first time user of bookkeeping software I was able to use immediately with no trouble. Xero integrates seamlessly with both my bank and other database software, so I have no trouble keeping up to date on all invoicing and billing and accounting requirements.

Cons

I don't have any negatives to say about this software. It does everything I need it to do, and can provide real time information to my accountant and bookeeper as it is in the cloud.

Great for accounting, still lacking on UI usability

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Xero makes company accounting clean and fairly easy. There are descriptions of sections you might not fully understand, which can help new users

Cons

Some UI elements could be improved, like the ability to add a new suppliers address when creating a bill (currently it is only possible after a new bill is created, adding two extra steps to the process). Other small UI issues exist, but overall it's very usable.

I can pay people easily, and get paid even easier. I can automate most of that using the API and that is what I love the most about them!

Pros

I can pay people what they need, and bill people what I need. I like the API interface with it as well. That is always a plus in my book.

Cons

I don't really like that they are based out of the US. It makes it harder to talk to someone higher up in the company with the hours that I keep.

Xero works like magic once you learn their tricks

Reviewed 3 years ago

9 out of 10. I used it for more than 3 years. I am used to it and know many of the details of the functionality. I feel confident and secure using the tool.

Pros

The easy way to change the invoice templates - which is very important from accounting point of view - especially when you work in the event business on a worldwide level and need to create different templates, depending in which country you will have the event (diff accounting and VAT rules apply).

Cons

When I worked with it, there wasn't easy way to see if a bill is reconciled automatically (had Singaporean account) - the accounting team needed to reconcile them manually.

Support is vital with cloud accounting software, you shouldn't have to wait for a month to resolve simple queries or send simple invoices

Pros

Integrates with lots of 3rd party apps and zapier to streamline workflows and automation, but nothing most webhooks couldn't do.

Cons

Really bad support. Support wont respond for up to 30 days and they'll continue to bill for an additional 30 days after your cancellation, which is unheard of in the age of saas.

Accounting made easy!

Reviewed 7 years ago

Xero is a really user friendly accounting system, allowing you to stay on top of your business, without needing to be a qualified accountant! They've created step by step video's and an easy way to locate them regardless of which function you're using, and their support is fantastic - they always over elaborate (i.e. assume you're not a qualified accountant!) and share further information on each point. It's almost fun to use (in a geeky way!) and is really intuitive throughout each process. Their app makes it easy to photograph paper receipts while on the go - it's really conducive to proactive finance, letting you easily stay on top of invoices, sales, quotes and receipts. Highly recommended.

Pros

Easy to use Amazing support

Cons

Can't allocate multiple bank rows to 1 bill (i.e. when you have 1 credit card transaction, which comes with an additional foreign charge or bank fee, you have to recon 3 lines instead of just 1)

Reviewed 2 years ago

Using Xero correctly saves so much time, tasks that were taking the Business owner a long time to manually action are now being done in Xero in about a quarter of the time. He thinks i'm great!

Pros

Super easy to use, the Business owner of the Company gave me a quick '2 minute tour' of the basics of Xero & by the end of the day i felt confident in using it, I love the convert Purchase Orders to Bill capability.

Cons

Added the Projects add on & not sure it's all we'll need to be able to get reports that we want, may have to purchase a Reporting add on too.

Xero

The BEST Small Business Accounting Platform

Reviewed a year ago

Having used Xero since 2013, I am yet to find a better product. The software and the overall company have never missed a beat. They are continually adding features (see Hubdoc integration, transparent, have competitive pricing, and connect accountants with business (refer to Xerocon events).

Pros

Xero has everything for startup companies and small businesses. Their software is 10 out 10 on user interface. It was born in the cloud and continues to exceed Quickbooks by a long shot. Most everything Quickbooks has added to its software in the past 10 years, is because Xero did it first.

Cons

The software does not have a tax add-on when compared to Quickbooks (Intuit). They are plenty of integrations to solve this issue but it would be nice to have. Integrating bill payment is more difficult compared to Quickbooks as well.

Simply the best small business accounting software

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Hard to list all the good feature about Xero! The product is super-easy to use and not difficult to set up. However, just because it is easy to set up doesn't mean that time and thought should not be put into the COA design for example, and which third-party products to use with Xero. Time spent here will repay you many times over.

Cons

There are always some areas that can be improved, but these are not critical. More varied and granular permissions would be good; better allocation of bill credit notes and ability to 'pay' these in a remittance would be nice.

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

It is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. It makes filing taxes a breeze. Information entry and onboarding are made simple by the import feature for banking, contacts, etc. Regardless of prior expertise, anyone may easily comprehend the software's layout. One of the best cloud-based systems for small and medium-sized businesses, Xero is straightforward to learn and use but lacks customization options for its forms and modules. The process of integrating with a bank is simple and straightforward. One of the better instances I have seen is the amazing connection with the bank feed.

Cons

In contrast to how sleek the other modules are, I've found the payroll and spending section to be a little clumsy. Because Xero wants you to assign overpayments and unallocated funds to an invoice, dealing with them can be lumpy. The cost of Xero is a little high for us, but other than that, everything is OK. As a beginning business, pricing is quite crucial in the early stages.

Make Your Accounting Automated

Reviewed a year ago

Xero is cloud-based accounting software that connects banks, accountants, management, and advisors from anywhere with any device with active internet. It performs all accounting tasks from preparing ledgers, accounts receivable, accounts payable, financial statements to the management of payroll, taxation, bank reconciliation, and inventory. Online billing enables to send bill through email.

Pros

Xero manages the whole accounting of business straight forward. Particularly automating the process of bank reconciliation is amazing time saver, it connects to banks and credit cards. Moreover, it effectively and easily integrates with other cloud based software which enhances usability of Xero.

Cons

Process of bank reconciliation has been automated but the process got glitches causing bank feeds stopped and entity has to restore to importing bank statement manually which takes time and attempts more than once. Inventory management needs improvement. Customer support is not perfect comparatively. It is not user friendly for those who have little accounting knowledge.

More cons then pro

Reviewed 5 years ago

My overall experience is that there are more cons then pros for me. I feel that to complete a simple Accounting tasks takes me longer in Xero because of the way it is set up.

Pros

The PO feature is nice. You can create a PO from an invoice. You cannot do that in Quickbooks online right now.

Cons

As an accountant, I do not like that all expenses have to be entered as a bill. I do not like how I cannot drill down on the P&L on what total expenses are, etc. I do not like it that I cannot see the GL impact of a transaction easily.
