Accounting challenges face by small business

Xero found when talking to the small business community, accountants and bookkeepers, several things became obvious. It’s clear that all small businesses need good cashflow to survive. But many don’t really understand or manage their cashflow. They also don’t have good visibility of their accounts.

We can change this!

You started your business because that was your passion and you are very good at it.  So why let the accounting side be a chore and drag you down?  With the cloud accounting that Xero offers, this ‘chore’ is made fun!  You get to see how business is performing in real time terms easily and conveniently from any internet connected device.

Having passion for your business is great, but accounting often sits at the opposite end of the scale. It is very important to help ensure your success.  Too many people are frustrated with the software they use. Why is that? Small business accounting software has been unintuitive and difficult to use for years. Business owners often find themselves chained to an old desktop in the back room labouring over the finances. With a system like that, it becomes obvious why people don’t have good visibility of their accounts.
