Its not like there’s not enough accounting packages already out there. And its not like there’s anything special about Xero’s ability to do accounting functions. And its not like I need fancy reports or pretty graphs. I just want the hassle factor gone. So what is it exactly that has Xero work for me?
I get to do my accounts day by day.
Gone are the days of batching stuff up – waiting till the pay off is worth the hassle of doing the download/upload dance. With Xero its simple – by having Xero automatically upload my banking transactions overnight, there’s nothing to manage or do except deal with what’s outstanding.
Each couple of days I log in, I see that there are some transactions to reconcile, I click ok for the transactions Xero has guessed and I enter the details for the transactions it hasn’t. I see my account balances – do what needs to be done – and that’s it! I’m informed and my accounts are up to date.
No downloading from multiple bank accounts, no managing date ranges and no making sure duplicates don’t lie around undetected. Accounting – one day at a time – is what works for me.
