Affordable professional level accounting software for small business
It's been easier to use Xero than I expected, but I had a nasty surprise at tax time when I realized the default accounts/descriptions for expenses did not correlate 1:1 to IRS categories. (I should have checked this more closely when I set up my accounts because it's a New Zealand company, and the previous product was local.) This means I will need to double-check all my transactions for 2018 and the IRS has my vastly overestimated tax payment until I can do that and file my return on an extension.
I've had a much better experience importing data from financial institutions because Xero uses a well-known importing service that is trusted by the institutions.
I like being able to match multiple invoices to bank deposits because I usually don't run to the bank for each check. This will be more valuable as my company grows.
I should probably find an accountant to assist me with this, but I haven't found an accountant who understands both craft businesses and Xero.
Vorteile
Professional double entry software at a very affordable price
Accommodates both cash and accrual accounting
Links to financial institutions to get transactions
Uses standard importer recognized by the financial institutions instead of just trying to log in remotely (and triggering fraud alerts)
Can match multiple invoices to a single deposit transaction imported from bank
Can keep using Xero as company grows
Nachteile
Pre-existing expense categories/descriptions don't map 1:1 with IRS definitions, so I'm having to go back to all my receipts to make sure expenses are entered in proper accounts because I didn't realize this when I switched
More difficult to focus on specific expense categories to check transactions
Have not been able to import historic data from previous app (possibly because it's not double entry) so I am still paying the subscription on that software to retain access to my data
No integration with Craftybase, so I have to enter supply purchases and customer invoices there independently
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen
Quickbooks OnlineWarum Xero gewählt wurde
Outright depends on importing data from financial institutions but they were extremely unreliable (apparently they don't use a standard importing service and my credit union kept flagging them as hackers for remote logins) and customer service kept giving me the runaround. It also isn't "professional" double-entry bookkeeping and can't be audited. Outright can't handle Cost of Goods Sold properly and requires manual workarounds. It can't generate professional reports needed when applying for loans.Zuvor genutzte Software

QuickBooks introduced a special product for Etsy integration, but early adopters had problems with data disappearing and no way to recover it. Otherwise, the cost of QuickBooks to cover the same features I use in Xero would have been very expensive; even a QB consultant told me it's overkill for a business of my size. I forget which other products I looked at, but Xero was recommended by several owners of similar businesses.- Branche: Informationstechnologie & -dienste

Xero is an excellent platform
Vorteile
Overall I was really impressed with the Xero layout. Particularly the project management module was great in Xero. Pricing is good, and it offers many features more expensive solutions don’t.
Nachteile
Reports on purchases were a little different than expected, but I found a workaround. Wish I could customize reports with a report builder.
Gründe für den Wechsel zu Xero
I chose Xero for my client due to the project tracking ability and the ability to do it from the app. Other softwares can’t manage projects from the apps.- Branche: Unternehmensberatung

Xero- A budget friendly accounting software
Overall this is nice for a business especially growth oriented business and it will make easy for the accountants as it has real time bank reconciliation. It enables work from home from personal laptop even as it is cloud based.
Vorteile
It is a cloud based that is the main attractive in Xero and we can access from any where . It is easy to use and provides a 30 days free trial period which enables to know whether the software suits our business we can have unlimited users and have a real time bank reconciliation
Nachteile
I would like to say it not as cons instead if this area is improved then the software will be one among the best. The inventory module is so basic.

certain functionality around automation and AI is not there but can be added via connected apps.

Expensive But Good
Overall it has saved time, mostly thru automation of bank accounts and bank rules. As with all software there is some frustration, but Xero are continually improving.
Vorteile
The software is easy to setup, easy to use, very transparent and well-supported by many accountants. It is designed with the end-user in mind, rather than the accountant. Depending on your package, it allows filing direct with IRD for GST and Payroll.
Nachteile
There is no phone support, only via a web portal. Some matters are not documented well in any of the Xero-supplied "how to" e.g. best practice for issuing dividends.
