Invoicing

Invoicing can be carried out quickly by using item codes for regularly invoiced items. You can also copy previous invoices or setup repeating invoices for memberships or other regular fees.

Your customers can even pay online once they have received their invoice, which contains a link allowing them to pay their invoices there and then.

Inventory

Keep track of what you have in stock in terms of physical quantities and valuations. Xero inventory links in with quoting, purchasing, and invoicing to allow you to reduce manual data entry.

Standard stock reporting includes fast-moving reports, allowing you to make better informed decisions about future stock orders and replenishment

Payroll

With Xero Payroll, you can setup working hours for your employees, manage their holidays, and process their pay with included calculations for statutory leave.

Share the Xero Me app with your employees to give them encrypted access to their payslips, and allow them to submit their timesheet and send leave requests.

Bank Connections

Daily updates from your bank account flow directly into Xero ready for your review. Xero will even suggest potential matches between Xero and bank account transactions, making bank reconciliation a breeze.

Banks such as HSBC, Barclays, Santander, RBS, and NatWest all have connections to Xero, and even if your bank doesn’t have a direct connection, you can use Yodlee to connect Xero with your bank instead.

Dashboard

The Dashboard provides real-time access to your data using easy-to- read charts and graphs.

You can customise the charts to provide focus to the figures that really matter to you, whether that’s for reviewing cash flow, chasing overdue invoices, or accessing management accounting data allowing you to quickly analyse your balance sheet or P&L.

Expenses

The Xero Expenses app allows expenses to be logged while on the move. Your team members can simply take a photo of their expense receipts, and the Xero app will turn it into an expense claim for review and submission.

No longer do you have to wait for the physical receipts – the expense claims will automatically come through to you for approval, meaning no more manual data entry.

Quotes

Produce professional quotes and estimates in Xero by customising them with your logo and contact details. Quotes can be produced and sent from your phone or tablet if you’re on the move, meaning quicker turnarounds for your customer’s requests.

What’s more, once a quote is accepted online by the customer, you can quickly turn this into an invoice in Xero, taking away the manual data entry.

Reporting

Xero comes with various accounting reports as standard, allowing you to quickly produce interactive or printed reports for common purposes such as bank reconciliation, P&L, and trial balances. You can drill down into the figures within interactive reports, giving you real-time access to the data.

You can also create and tailor reports for your own needs, so if your accountant has specific reporting requirements then you can cater to their needs.

Purchases and Supplier Payments

Take the hassle out of paying suppliers with batch payments and scheduled payments. You can also copy previous bills, rather than having to manually recreate them each time.

The in-built purchases dashboard will also give you an easy-to-read overview of your outstanding purchase orders, as well as what’s due to be paid and when, meaning you can avoid those dreaded fees for late payments.

Multi-Currency

Complex multi-currency accounting is a thing of the past with Xero. Simply default each contact to their currency, and all their transactions will be automatically converted into your own local currency in real time.

Exchange rates are automatically updated on an hourly basis from XE.com, meaning no more having to remember to update rates on a regular basis.

Contacts and Smart Lists

Contact lists are easy to maintain in Xero with the ability to import contacts from existing lists. You can even connect your Gmail or Office 365 account to see emails relating to your contacts from within Xero.

You can organise your contacts into smart lists based on their purchasing habits, location, or invoice amounts, meaning you can easily create and send targeted marketing campaigns.
