Pros

“Its easy-to-use interface, cloud accessibility, and helpful automation features save a lot of time and simplify day-to-day bookkeeping tasks. While there are a few areas that could be improved, Xero has been a reliable and valuable tool for managing business finances.”
RR

Rebecca R.

Production manager

“My overall experience is that the cloud-based system allows users to access their financial information from anywhere, and its integration with many third-party apps makes workflow management much more efficient for reporting and any other tasks.”
NK

Navpreet K.

Manager and CPA

“simplifies daily bookkeeping with intuitive features, real-time bank feeds, and seamless third-party integrations.”
CG

Cecilia G.

Administration

Pros

“It made reporting much faster because I didn't have to manually copy and update information every time. Since it works within Excel, the learning curve wasn't too steep, especially for people who are already comfortable using spreadsheets.”

Audie A.

Customer Relationship Associate

“The only thing recently is the fact that after implementing a new system Unanet, that the amount of time to update the data has taken up to 1 hour to update. ”
PM

Penny M.

Financial Planning and Analysis

“I can generate reports quickly and have up to date information. Once you get to know Spreadsheet server and how it works, you can get things done.”
KS

Kathryn S.

Assistant Controller

Cons

“There can also be occasional syncing delays with bank feeds, and certain customization options for reports and invoices feel somewhat limited compared to other accounting software.”
RR

Rebecca R.

Production manager

“Additionally, certain features like multi-currency handling or more advanced integrations, are only available in higher-tier plans, which can make it less cost-effective for growing businesses.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Rashi B.

Treasury Accountant

“Technically, I understand they can point to the terms of service. But from a business perspective, I genuinely do not understand burning a potential long-term customer relationship over roughly $150 on an inactive account instead of showing some flexibility or goodwill.”
AB

Andrew B.

Owner

Cons

“Users mention slowness within the software”
TS

Tim S.

Senior Network Administrator

“There have been issues with updating the software, based on previously installed version of Spreadsheet server.”
GO

Gbolahan O.

IT Applications

“It takes very long time to run when it involves multiple time periods and sheets.”
