Its products are used in the Australia and internationally, in businesses of all sizes; from one-man-band sole traders, through family businesses all the way through to multi-national organisations.

At SKY Accounting Group we use XERO Accounting Software, with many of our team individually accredited XERO. This means that we are experts in the use of XERO accounting and business software and are able to support you right the way through the process, from selection of an appropriate product to match your business needs through to installation and the provision of ongoing support.

So why should you use accounting software, and specifically why XERO?

The answer to the first question is straightforward. You can’t run a successful business without having a great understanding of your sales, costs, profits and cash flow. It is far easier to obtain this information from accounting software, and will take you much less time. Why XERO? Well it’s the largest provider of mid-level accounting software in the Australia and constantly invests in its products to ensure that they provide the very best information to you, the business owner, with the least amount of hassle. XERO brings a whole host of other advantages, such as:

• No need to install software or continually upgrade your IT equipment.
• Access from anywhere with an internet connection, any time, and from practically any device – PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone.
• Seamless integration with online banking and other software (such as payroll packages) which greatly simplifies the data entry procedure and saves you time and money, as most transactions are automatically imported.
• Data is securely backed up automatically, so you need never fear data loss.
• Several people can access the same data at the same time, with different access rights; so for example a bookkeeper might enter your sales and purchase invoices, whilst only you have access to your financial reports.
• Seamless integration with us, your professional accountant – there is no longer any need to send us back-ups at the end of a financial year; with your permission we can access your data to produce management or annual accounts at the same time as you carry on entering your day to day transactions.

We use XERO within our own business, and would be delighted to demonstrate to you, completely without charge or obligation, how XERO could transform your business. If you do decide that XERO is for you, then you’ll probably be very pleasantly surprised at its low cost.
