Xero, the most reliable way for your company

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Xero from other similar products?

We have a small company where the whole administrative area had become complicated, because we had not found a good software that was friendly, easy to use and that encompassed everything we needed. With Xero it became much easier for us to keep the accounts payable and receivable, make all administrative reports and payments to banks and suppliers.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

This program has been very useful for us because it makes us keep in an orderly manner all the invoices and all the accounting area, plus it synchronizes perfectly with the bank accounts. The templates that brings to customize the invoices, is an additional plus that we love.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Their technical support is not easily accessible, so you have to wait to get a response from them. We have had some failures with the bank links, but everything was solved in a couple of attempts.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We could say with all certainty, that Xero is the most complete, intuitive and easy to use software that we have used in the company and that has helped us in a great way with all the accounting and administrative area, so we highly recommend it.
