Xero Reviews

Dashboard enables multiple accounts all in one place

Comments: Over the last 8 years it's been easy to manage my business finances - and that's from someone who doesn't really want to do finance tasks

Pros:

Mobile app enables at a glance view and ease to enter receipts when out

Cons:

Complex reconciliation when currency charges are deducted, sure you can make an adjustment, but it always feels clunky

It does what it says

Comments: Xero has been fairly straight forward to implement and use.

Pros:

Does what it says it does in a usable manner

Cons:

Cost is higher than I would like at a small business level when additional CRM is required to operate.

Seems good if you have the time

Comments: I used it for 6 months then stopped because I felt like I didn't get any value out of it. It was difficult to use and my accountant was reluctant to use it too. Just restarted my subscription because I see no other way than to spend the time learning how to use it.

Pros:

Automatically reconciles transactions from your bank account.

Cons:

Steep learning curve, small fonts, app is very text heavy, unsure how to log future transactions that haven't happened yet.

Xero - market leader for online bookkeeping system

Comments: Overal experience has been very good and we still recommend this software to our clients.

Pros:

Xero has got very good set of features and it is considered a market leader with regards to online bookkeeping software.

Cons:

Xero is slow to listen to their customers feedback and often prioritizes other work and development rather than the features most required.

Strong app, shame the performance has dropped

Pros:

Provides a strong financial product for managing my business. The mobile app is really useful.

Cons:

The performance in the browser is very sluggish these days.

SME Owner - New Zealand

Comments: Very good, especially once you use the power of the reports and all.

Pros:

We used to use MYOB but found that Xero is much better in terms of the reporting and ease of use.

Cons:

Inventory could be improved but it is really an accounting software so a very minor issue.

Mobile Access such a bonus.

Comments: The integrations and mobile access is a plus, unlimited users also makes life easier. The lack of phone support can be a hurdle especially with a learning curve for new users. Overall a good platform that makes life easier.

Pros:

Could have Unlimited Users, has extensive integrations, felt user friendly, real time reporting, mobile app was a big bonus.

Cons:

Customer Support wasn't offered by phone, Could be a challenge to new users to understand how to use, Customization is limited, pricing can get steep especially for Small businesses.

Xero review

Comments: I really enjoy using Xero within our practice and for our clients.

Pros:

The program is really user friendly for businesses

Cons:

The cost of Xero is the biggest downfall.

Accounts software made simple

Comments: Great and would recommend. My first time using an accounts software and has been like a breeze. Simple to use and cost effective.

Pros:

The API function has been fantastic for managing our office account. The ability to create nominal codes, generate custom invoices and reconcile transactions is so simple.

Cons:

The customisation on reports is not as easy as I would like.

Perfect for Small Businesses

Comments: Overall, Xero is a great accounting software and it is my favourite of the few I have used (MYOB, SAP).

Pros:

Intuitive and modern UI. Very simple to use and a great experience all around. Lots of integrations with external software (Xemplo, ETZ for example), making it very versatile.

Cons:

It works great for us now, but we are reaching a point where it is too simple for our needs. No robust cost centre/division tracking abilities (although a basic version is offered). Not a lot of support for consolidation of multiple entities built in.

Xero simplifies bookkeeping!

Comments: Over-all I like Xero so much. I find it easy to maintain the books with its user-friendly interface. Also a plus points for a variety of apps you can integrate with it making bookkeeping tasks so easy.

Pros:

It's super friendly to use, functions are so easy to navigate, and their support team is very active when it comes to our concerns.

Cons:

As of now they're having issues with foreign exchange in Wise causing a huge bank revaluation amount... but could be resolved by removing and redoing the reconciliation of the transaction. By far my only issue is the extra-time needed to do the recon due to this issue.
