If you're looking for cloud accounting; consider Xero as the best partner!
Kirkwood Wilson Accountants offers support for a variety of cloud accounting packages which include Xero, Sage and Quickbooks. Our favourite piece of software is most definitely Xero! We’re really proud to say that we are Xero gold partners and all of our staff are Xero champions. We’ve invested heavily into really getting under the skin of Xero, allowing us to give our clients the best experience possible. Xero is constantly making innovations in our sector, driving the industry forward and saving us time on our day-to-day workload. Although we love Xero, sometimes the client might need a little more than it currently offers. It has a pretty comprehensive product offering, but it doesn’t deal fantastically well with some things such as stock. Instead, it’s open API means app developers can integrate their software with Xero, meaning our clients can move to Xero knowing their accountancy software does everything they need it to, with the help of the add-on marketplace. Xero’s cloud-based features mean that it can be accessed from any location in the world as long as there’s an internet connection. I always remember a client telling me they were invoicing their customers from a sun lounger on the Costa del Sol. Not my idea of a holiday but handy in any case! It's user-friendly, and staff can be given specific levels of access which mean they can invoice, but won’t be able to see payroll information or the company’s bank account. It’s a really useful tool, meaning the company director doesn’t need to be in charge of invoicing anymore. It gives them some of their time back and they can focus on taking their business forward! It’s completely changed the way our practise operates over the last five years, and has really helped free up our time so that we can help clients with the things that really matter.
