Unless you are an accounting professional, bookkeeper or business owner/operator you are unlikely to hear, or care, much about accounting software. Not really a typical dinner party conversation we admit…

However, every few days the financial news is dominated by Xero, the cloud-based accounting solution developed right here in New Zealand.

Xero is a fast-growing company with teams in New Zealand, Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom, and is emerging as the global leader in online accounting software for small business.Xero is specifically designed with small business in mind and is available anywhere, anytime. You don’t need an accounting degree to use it. It’s relatively intuitive, and it’s designed to reduce the amount of time you spend on tedious bookwork – allowing you more time to concentrate on growing your business. And the beauty of Xero is that if you need a more sophisticated system there are “add ons”, just like Lego blocks that can be incorporated and tailored to meet your needs. You won’t ever look back! The time savings are fantastic and reporting is accurate, timely and professional. You can even send invoices out via a smart phone!

Campbell Tyson loves Xero and the fact they are focused on continuous product improvement. Xero is appreciative of feedback and suggestions for improvement, and encourages users to post online within the Xero community page.
