New Zealand based online accounting vendor Xero have recently launched their product for Australian businesses. This means that our local GST tax laws and conditions are (hopefully) supported.
From a brief look at their online tour, their system looks quite aesthetically pleasing, and should be quite easy for users to learn and understand. I am hoping to set up a test account on their system so I can have a more in depth look and report on here.
Their service costs just $49 per month, with any additional companies adding $29 per month on top of that. Cheap as chips when you consider that you do not have to install anything, and any future upgrades are automatically done for you without even thinking about it.
Readers of this blog will know my passion for online based systems, but my biggest question with online accounting systems is the quality of training that the end users will get. From many years of experience, we find that the level of training the end user has obtained in the early stages will have a great impact on the quality of information going in and out of the software – even true for those ‘easy to use’ systems such as MYOB and Quickbooks.
I will keep you updated with my findings.
UPDATE: Ben Kepes over at CloudAve has done a thorough and informative review of Xero. Check it out!
