Founded across the ditch in New Zealand, Xero has grown to be a globally recognised accounting software provider, with the cloud-based system available in a range of subscriptions to suit all business sizes and industries.
Starting at $29 a month for the Starter pack, Xero also offers the Standard pack for $59 a month, and the Premium line beginning at $76 a month, with each price point increase unlocking additional features for businesses to utilise. The larger packs will suit larger businesses, allowing more employees to be added to the software (at an additional cost), while the Starter pack should suit owner-operated businesses.
Depending on which pack you purchase, features such as invoicing (including reminder emails for those forgetful clients), inventory and payroll are available for all packages, with additional features such as automatic bank transactions and bank reconciliations also available. If you’re looking to make the most of your accounting software, it’s best to research Xero’s website for a full comparison of capabilities and extras, or sign up for a free 30-day trial to get a feel for how the software works.
