Many small businesses start their bookkeeping in spreadsheets. It is cheap at first but quickly becomes a burden: data is scattered across files, bank reconciliation is manual, and reports only arrive weeks after month end. Xero is cloud accounting software built to solve exactly this. Here are five reasons it suits small businesses.

1. Access it anytime, from anywhere

Xero runs in the browser and on mobile apps. Owners, the finance team and the accountant can all see the same data at the same time, without emailing files back and forth and without a server of your own. Updates and backups are handled by Xero.

2. Much faster bank reconciliation

With bank feeds, bank transactions flow into Xero automatically. Xero suggests matches, and bank rules can be set up for recurring transactions. Work that used to take days at month end can be done a little each day.

3. Financial reports that are always current

Because transactions are recorded and reconciled routinely, the profit and loss, balance sheet, aged receivables and aged payables can be opened at any time. The Xero dashboard shows bank balances, unpaid invoices and bills coming due on one screen. Decisions can be made from today's numbers, not last month's.

4. Easy to connect with other apps

Xero connects with a wide range of apps: point of sale, e-commerce, inventory, payroll, expense management and reporting. Sales and cost data can flow into the books automatically, which cuts double entry and typing errors. A business can start simple and add apps as it grows.

5. It grows with your business

Xero plans can be upgraded as needs change. Features such as multi-currency, tracking categories for branches or projects, and support for several entities keep Xero relevant as the business gets bigger. Users can be given access that matches their role, so the owner stays in control.

Getting started with Xero

Xero pays off most when it is set up properly from the start: a chart of accounts that fits the business, tax settings, accurate opening balances and a habit of routine reconciliation.
