Both of these things are 100% spot on! It is true that this product has changed the way we do business and if you get us started on how,
we’ll probably bore you to sleep but more importantly the reason we love it so much is because it has made life so much easier for business
owners to have control over their numbers!
Xero allows for the ability to share your data live within your business and with your advisors. This means you can give limited access to your receptionist to enter in expense claims or purchases through to full access to your Accountant to be able to provide instant support and advice.
Xero receives your bank statements automatically via a secure connection. This automation saves significant time in data entry and processing. A quick rec of the bank account and you gain a complete and up-to-date snapshot of your business.
This is not a fallacy, payroll is easy in Xero. The payroll function integrates seamlessly into the accounting solution and enables for scheduled payruns, integrating timesheeting, automatic tax updates and automated superannuation payments. You can also give Employees portal access to enable them to enter timesheets, enter leave and update personal details.
