Xero. Easy.
Xero is a web-based package of accounting software designed for small businesses. Founded in 2006, and a New Zealand company, they describe themselves as “the world’s easiest accounting system.”
Currently, one of the Internet’s hottest trends is to move away from localised, in-house software to that of global, Internet-based software (e.g. Google Docs). The logic is: why buy an expensive application, and have the trouble of maintaining and upgrading it on your computer, when for a fraction of the cost and no effort, you can outsource to the Net?
For a monthly fee, you can use Xero’s fully-featured accounting software to do your bookkeeping. Features include, bank reconciliation, invoicing and payables, report creation, contacts lists, taxation, and more.
Xero is online – it runs on their computer servers, not yours – this means there’s nothing for you to install or configure. You log into Xero via a web browser from any computer, anywhere, at any time – no problems if your office computer is stolen or decides to take an early retirement.
Upgrades to Xero are free and require no downloading - they become available when you next log in. And naturally, Xero offer a high standard of security and maintain regular backups.
