Five Tips for Getting Started with Xero

A large number of our clients are using Xero to maintain their accounts records and as a Xero Silver Champion partner we are well placed to help them get started and use it to its best advantage for their business.
 
 So if you are already using Xero or are thinking about using it what are our top five tips for getting started.

Launching our Xero Drop In Service

Xero Drop In is our new one-to-one Xero training service. Xero is very popular for maintaining business accounts but how well is it working for you?
 
 The information you get out of Xero is only as good as the information you put in and if you are struggling to understand how to make a particular accounting aspect of your business work then the information you get out won't be of any real value.

Cloud Accounting for your Business

More businesses are moving to cloud accounting software. With Making Tax Digital for Businesses just 12 months away it makes sense to get ready now and move your accounts to software that will be compliant with the new regulations.
 
 Cloud accounting software is user friendly and makes keeping your accounting records a whole lot easier. VAT returns can be submitted directly to HMRC at the press of a button and as we get closer to April 2019 developers will be updating software to cope with the new requirements.
