Why choose Xero?

Xero connects you to your bank, accountant, and bookkeeper, and integrates with a range of super-useful, time-saving apps. It brings all your key tasks like invoicing, bank reconciliation, bill payments, expenses, filing GST returns and more into one easy-to-use platform.

But it’s not just about saving time on admin. With all your data at your fingertips, you’ll gain valuable financial insights that help you run a smarter, more efficient business.

Xero’s easy-to-use and customisable dashboard enables you to see your financial position at any point in time. Track bank balances, invoices, bills, tax payments and more. Xero prepares GST returns automatically and enables you to securely file GST payments to the Inland Revenue directly from Xero.

Peace of mind that you’re on top of your bills and taxes

No one starts a business to get bogged down in admin. Xero’s intuitive easy to use platform enables you to streamline and organise your business admin and finances in one place - from quoting to invoicing, purchase orders, project management and payroll to chasing up those pesky late payments - Xero makes it easy.

Time back to do more of what you love

No more working on a hunch or back of the envelope. With all your financial data in one place, Xero provides you (and your accountant) with precise, real-time insights into your cashflow and profit and overall financial position.
