I also appreciated the accessibility, being able to access financial information from anywhere, and the automated reminders, which helped keep tasks like invoicing and payments on track. > > **Cons**: Some advanced features take a bit of time to learn, and certain integrations may have extra costs. Overall, these are minor trade-offs given how efficient the platform is. > > Xero is very easy to use and adaptable for all types of businesses. It provides quick access to favorites and allows dashboards to be customised for each user. Overall, I’m very happy with the system. ----- ### "So easy to use but a little outdated looks wise" — 5.0/5 > **Abdul Rehman** | *May 5, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: How it just works without any training. I am not an accountant whatsoever, I'm just a software developer actually but it was SO EASY to get familiar with Xero. My accountants were impressed at how perfect my books were on it. They were able to produce my UK VAT returns within minutes. > > **Cons**: The UI is very outdated. It looks pretty bad. I use a Chrome extension to make it dark for night time usage. It does feel clunky sometimes going back between pages and seeing old information. > > I've been using Xero for six months now and won't be switching at all. The product JUST WORKS and is ideal for UK usage. It has all the correct VAT accounts by default and almost every British accountant has used it so they find it extremely easy to work with for producing business accounts and filing VAT returns. ----- ### "The ultra-efficient accounting dashboard" — 5.0/5 > **Heather** | *July 7, 2026* | Investment Management Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Xero has become the beating heart of my financial management. What I love most is the real-time automated bank synchronization. Bill management and multi-currency expense tracking are absolutely seamless, which is vital for my international asset portfolios. > > **Cons**: the pricing policy tends to increase regularly without major new features, and the cost climbs fast if you add extra modules like advanced expense management ----- ### "Xero is complex" — 3.0/5 > **Sharon** | *April 3, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: There is a lot of customer support available however its not instant and when your completing your account's you need an immediatre response not a call back > > **Cons**: Its complicated to use and no-one explained you need multiple apps to upload your receipts and bills and pages of uploads banking invoices . I have found it very complex and frustrating > > It was a cheaper option than other software however i wish i hsd looked further into before signing up . Other business had advised me it was eady to use howrver it has took me so much more time thsn a basic spreadsheet and i just cant get away with it . I have had nunerous times onto customer support screen sharing and an onboarding session and still do not like this ----- ### "Complete Accounts Package" — 5.0/5 > **Sam** | *April 2, 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have used Xero for several years to do our accounting. We moved over from Sage. What I like about Xero is it is simple. Everything is laid out sensibly and it is easy to navigate. There are access to many different pre-made reports as well as the ability to customise and favourite as well. We have this software linked to our Cybake account and send over invoices from there daily. We also raise invoices within Xero itself. We also use it for bills. I use this everyday and have never encountered an issue. When there is something I don't know how to do i have never needed to contact customer support. I just search online to find the answer quickly. > > **Cons**: Some of the pre-made reports have very similar names. Which can be confusing at first until you learn them but that is similar to other software we use or have used in the past. Just means sometimes I click a few different ones before I land on the one I want. Not a big issue. > > It is a complete accounts package and does everything you could need it to do. It is simple and easily navigable and if there is something you don't know how to do it is often simple to find out how. ----- Page: 1 / 134\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/1671/xero?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/1671/xero) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
