the Xero certificate is difficult. there are questions that are not used in normal life and that makes the certificate difficult to obtain.

Account handling is an art and Xero fits well when it comes to its implementation. Through this platform I am in a position of generating the receipts for the same customer quite easily, because I do not have to enter the client’s data again and again it automates the repetitive tasks for me, so that I can save my time as well. The Automation feature has also helped in managing and ingenerating the bills against any customer’s financial status.
In the start it was a bit difficult to learn its all functionalities but with the time I got to know about all functions and understand how I can make everything easy for me and for my team. Thus now it has become a significant tool in our company which is playing a great role while providing effective services.
I must say that Xero provides security against customers from fraudulent activities. Further I can easily manage the company’s assets, as I upload the detail on Xero against which a certain item has been purchased and also I import all my fixed assets into Xero in a short span of time.
Accounting is not hard with Xero as it helps me to manage the payments and the online transactions as well. I have become more professional in my working and I am ensuring transparency in my working by providing the detailed reports about any certain invoices, because I can easily co-relate it with the previous clients’ history, thus it becomes easy to provide firsthand information to the customers.
This software is very high in price even the most economical plans could be expensive for the small set ups, a medium plan should be adopted and must take this thing in account. Further the interface is no so intuitive, which gives a clingy appearance and one loss the taste to work.
One of the best things is that I am not at all bound to accept any particular payment mode, because Xero provides me an option to accept the payments via Debit card, credit card, direct debit and many other, even it provides an option to pay online, in this way it is very easy for me to maintain the data simultaneously with invoices generation.

You must correct the search function and add the cost of the job to be considered a competitor
I find the price very good, the interface and the relative ease of use.
What I lean toward most is that the computerization and revealing abilities of the product. There are includes in order to address different wrong passages like Find and Recode and quite a bit of additional items to coordinate to different Softwares. The report's determination is wide and on the off chance that you are a training accomplice, you will have significantly more access to the reports prepared for outside announcing.
Similarly, as with any bookkeeping programming, it's profoundly snared into the bookkeeping inputs, which require to be exact. It needs a touch increasingly worldwide control so it's overly simple to use in any a piece of the planet.
Simple to utilize Cost-powerful Easy to converse with/associate with the bookkeeper continuously Clear illustrations. From the outset, it is anything but difficult to cherish. At that point, when you need increasingly out of it, the bank takes care of, your decision of MasterCard processors, enthusiasm on past due to solicitations, and so forth it begins to deteriorate. A few of these highlights were mentioned more than 8 years back. They haven't reacted at this point.

Learning curve(Tutorials are not in Details). Mobile apps need improvement.
Firstly, all client details are stored in one place so it’s nice and easy to navigate. And with everything on Xero Tax being cloud-based, I can complete returns when I’m on the road. Likewise, having electronic signatures has been a real benefit, along with the ability to compare previous years with the year to year review function which has been really helpful as well.
The fact that I can add unlimited users is fantastic, especially during the current rise in home based users. This is something which appears to be the case with all packages. I also love the fact I can issue invoices with a uniform look and shoot them all off in one go.
Customer service is quite lacking and lax. It's slowed down considerably over recent weeks, and as we have gone more towards home working, we have had more questions and tehnical issues. Sadly, they appear to have gone the other way and have only a skeleton staff and an over reliance on generic, 'please see our most commonly asked questions' approach.
The fact I can integrate this for my financial team is excellent. I do not have to lift a finger; I am able to, and indeed have, handed this to our accountants and they are able to pick it up and get working straight away. It's also HMRC compliant meaning money is saved by simply sending accounts straight over from Xero.

Xero has finally surpassed QuickBooks Online as the best solution for small business accounting. The banking/payroll integrations work well, and the manual journal system is far superior to QBO. The fixed asset registry also beats QuickBooks Online in terms of functionality. Finally, Xero seems to be more reliable -- in the past 6 months of using Xero we have not experienced any downtime, whereas QBO seemed to be unavailable for some period of time at least every month or so.
The report builder, while powerful in some ways, is difficult to use when it comes to multiple time periods (e.g. YTD reports). In addition there is no option to show account numbers on reports, which makes further manipulation more difficult (e.g. in Excel).
Xero has everything we need from an accounting solution.
It has the ability to change complex and difficult reports into simpler ones without any additional hard work. Apart from this it’s a best option in order to pay bills and keep the invoices together at one place. All the tasks related to accounting can be easily done through this magnificent product in order to make tasks simpler. Furthermore, the ability of this application to manage all my tasks by its bookkeeping facility enables me to do all the major and minor tasks related to accounting in just few seconds.

It is a great tool. For me attaching files with financial data is nowadays so much convenient through this product which requires no special training for this purpose. Another thing that I like about this application is its ease of access that enables me to login into my particular account from anywhere in the world. Lastly the painless setup of this product makes the working more efficient in order to do the setup more easily for the very first time as well.

Generating invoices and tracking expenses for our business.
I love how Xero reconciles nearly all my bank accounts and/or wallets. It also offers true multi-currency accounting which is a big boon for small businesses that have clients all over the world. Their latest integration with TransferWise now allows all the borderless accounts (thats 5 currencies) to get updated as well. It is simple and straightforward for non-book keepers to use and to keep a tab on their business.
So far i have no complaints. It meets all my requirements
Primarily, multi-currency accounting along with bank reconcilliation. It saves me a lot of time now that i know what my business balances are and where the money is.
Easy to use and found reporting easy to understand (also submitting VAT return is easy). Have now used Xero for a few years in current business, and also used previously with another business as found helpful. Some of my clients also love working with Xero.
Some of the navigation did not seem that intuitive to me and when I did have a problem a year or so ago the answers I got were not that helpful.
Understanding finances on a month to month basis and being able to understand likely VAT liability and then submit return automatically.
The fact it helps in management of all activities and also ensure that there is save and simple transactions.
It requires skilled personnel hence not all business people uses it.
Financial losses due to poor financial management. It has help in management of finances and other all activities hence promoting reduction of losses.
